Awards Shows
Oh No They Didn't! Globes' Most Cringe-Worthy

Sometimes awards shows make us weep a little, laugh a little, or sleep a little. And then there are moments that just make us cringe, a lot.
More on TMZ.com
Last night's Golden Globes was no exception. Long after Ryan Seacrest's thoroughly wince-inducing stand-up with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Warren Beatty made us wince with a deeply awkward (and incorrect) "Borat" impression.

Best TV Comedy Actress winner, America Ferrara, positively made us gnash our soup dumplings when she exited the stage after her touching acceptance speech and waited like a glowingly expectant puppy to be interviewed by NBC's Maria Menounos. And waited. And waited. And then had to run offstage, ignored by the blathering Ms. M. Such indignity!

Then, as Prince was a no-show to accept his award for best song, Justin Timberlake waited for his Petite Purple Majesty to come and collect his trophy, then saved the cringe-worthy moment by making himself a foot shorter and accepting on Prince's behalf.

31. I'm happy for Jennifer Hudson.

To the person who wrote they were embarrassed for the black male entertainers because of Jamie Foxx, I would like to know if a white male star got on stage and said something stupid, inappropriate, etc...would you be embarrassed for ALL white male entertainers? Probably not, so why can't Jamie be an individual? Why does he have to represent for all black male entertainers? Does crazy ass, couch jumping Tom Cruise represent all white male entertainers? I think not.

32. Maria Menounos is a stupid ass.

The whole interview right off stage set up sucked.

33. I felt so bad for her standing there for so long. If Maria wasn't going to conduct an interview why did the crew have her in that position. What was the point of having her on camera. They could have just gone to commercial. Or have someone there to be like "Right this way completely off the stage." For the record you do not do what Justin Timberlake did. You do not mock an icon...period. Not classy. What happened w/ Jamie Foxx? I didn't see.

I'm sure I would have been more angry if I had seen The Last King of Scotland...I thought that Mr. Whitaker's speech was extremely emotional, heartfelt, and beautiful. Not every speech has to be a 2 minute stand up routine. He thanked who he needed to thank and he was emotional about being rewarded for his hard work.

35. I'm sorry but Prince made a wise ass crack about Justin a while ago on T.V. so I think Justin had every right to say something back. Sorry but my opinion. Don't dish it out if you cant take it.

38. I used to really like Jamie Foxx, but he got so full of himself SO quickly.
I am so OVER Brangelina. They are so self-righteous and while they have done good work for adoption both domestically and internationally, I don't believe they had the sincerest of motivations. She did look really bored in the video - she is so above it all. Whatever.
I think the whole Borat thing was simply AWFUL - his speech and his film. If instead of Kazakhstan he made fun of Poland or even western European countries like France or Spain people would be calling him a prejudiced jerk. But because westerners either are unfamiliar or simply don't care about Kazakhstan, it is free game. He is a mean-spririted little man.

40. #17 Give me a giant break!!!!!!!!! You are not in the "business" and never will be!!!! Do you really think we believe your bull@*&#? You are what we commonly refer to as a wannabe. And as far as Forest is concerned-his speech was boring.

41. Maria Menounos should get fired for the horrible question she asked America Fererra just after she won. Instead of taking her happy moment in, poor America had to talk about her critics! You suck Maria!

42. Prince was stuck in traffic and didn't make it in time to accept his award. That's why you see him later sitting behind Eddie Murphy.
I don't think Justin was trying to be disrespectful. He's just stupid and really shouldn't speak as it all comes out wrong.
Maria M. should never be asked to interview again and she owes America F. an apology. She should have immediately acknowledged America instead of babling on about whatever she was saying.

43. Timberflake is not the musical talent that Prince is. Timberflake wants to be down so bad! He tries to dance like MJ and he can't sing worth sh*t.

44. #33 PLEASE take an English class!!!!! I don't have any idea what the heck you were trying to say. You are an illiterate!!!

45. Did anyone else think Prince was a rude a**hole when he put his hand over the camera lens when they did a shot of him with group of people...it only was on the screen for a few seconds but it was there.

Get over yourself!
