Golden Globe Moments That Were Awkward for Everyone


The 74th Golden Globe Awards had its fair share of awkward moments, as most awards shows do, but this time it was awkward right out of the gate. Jimmy Fallon got off to a bumpy start hosting the show when he came out to find the teleprompter not working. Jimmy announced the teleprompter fail to the audience and then said, “I can think of something. Cut to Justin Timberlake, please. Just wink at me or something, yeah. This is great.”

Fortunately, for Jimmy, they got the prompter working right after that. Unfortunately for Emma Stone, there was no technical issue that caused her awkward moment when Damien Chazelle won best screenplay for La La Land. When Damien got up to go accept his award, Emma went in for a hug at the same time Damien was hugging his girlfriend. Emma immediately pulled back from the three-way hug, but it was too late to undo the awkwardness.

Although, possibly the most awkward moment of the night went to Sofia Vergara, who introduced Miss Golden Globe, Sylvester Stallone’s young daughters, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlet. The Modern Family star came out and said, “The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has an anal tradition — I didn’t mean ‘anal,’ I mean they have an anus tradition.” Not only was the joke that they wrote for her a little overplayed (we get it, her English isn’t the best), but making anal jokes while introducing three young girls just made it cringeworthy.
