- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
This year, the Golden Globes were...a lot. Normally, I round up awkward moments from this show, but this year, there were both awkward AND uncomfortable moments to watch.
Here they are:
1.Jerrod Carmichael had an INTENTIONALLY awkward opening monologue. Like immediately, he told everyone to be quiet:
And here is your host for the 80th Annual #GoldenGlobes... It’s Jerrod Carmichael! 🎤
the feeling of discomfort and awkwardness in the room during jerrod carmichael's monologue could probably power a country #GoldenGlobes
2.He then called out how the Hollywood Foreign Press hadn't had a Black member until George Floyd's death — which was an important note. But people awkwardly laughed because they were expecting a comedic opening:
3.During his acceptance speech for Best Original Song, M. M. Keeravani tried to say a few more words in his speech, and then gave up because he was queued off the stage by music:
4.Quinta Brunson — a WINNER! — was seated super far from the stage, and had to do, like, a longass two-minute walk to get to the stage!
5.In fact, people pointed out that a lot of the winners were noticeably far away and took forever to get to the stage!
Man I gotta watch #TheBear wins Best Actor Comedy Series!(& he was comically far from the stage 😜)#GoldenGlobes
6.During his acceptance speech, Colin Farrell told Ana de Armas he cried himself to sleep after watching Blonde — and she just smiled and nodded:
7.And then he called out the music queuing him off the stage: "You can forget that piano!"
8.And Michelle Yeoh told the music player to shut up, too:
they tried playing Michelle Yeoh off with music, and she said "Shut up, please! I can beat you up, okay? And that's serious." LOL I love her#GoldenGlobes
9.People noticed that Claire Danes looked, well, not thrilled to be there:

10.Jerrod made this suuuuper controversial joke about Sc*entol*gy, and everyone gasped:
