The Golden Globe Awards may have the glitziest gowns and the most emotional speeches, but sometimes, they can also birth pure internet gold.

As we await the latest Golden Globes ceremony, which will take place this Sunday on January 7, here are some of the most awkward moments in Golden Globes history…

When eternal bachelor George Clooney married lawyer Amal Alamuddin in 2014, a power couple was born. But not before 2015 Golden Globe hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler got one last dig in.

During their opening monologue, they said: “Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an adviser to Kofi Annan regarding Syria, and was selected to a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award.” Well!

Emma Stone’s awkward three-way congratulatory hug

When Damien Chazelle won Best Screenplay for La La Land in 2017, star Emma Stone got up to give him a hug…at the same time as he went into hug his wife Olivia Hamilton.

This immediately resulted in an awkward three-way hug (while Ryan Gosling slyly watched from behind), although both Emma and Olivia immediately noticed and quickly apologized to each other and shrugged it off.

In 2018, James Franco won Best Actor for portraying the eccentric Tommy Wiseau in the semi-autobiographical The Disaster Artist, and called the man himself on stage during his speech.

After hugging the actor, Tommy reached for the microphone to deliver a speech of his own, when he was promptly pushed aside by James as his brother and co-star Dave Franco broke into a laugh beside him. It’s all good, though, as Tommy later called it a “funny moment.”

Right into the 2017 Globes (that ceremony sure was a doozy, huh?), host Jimmy Fallon experienced some unfortunate yet familiar technical difficulties when his teleprompter failed.

Ever the consummate professional, the late night host immediately acknowledged the problem and continued to monologue his way for the next few minutes, although did fumble about a bit. Thankfully, the problem resolved itself soon, and he thanked his stars that he “didn’t trip already.”

Renée Zellweger’s badly-timed bathroom break

In 2001, Renée Zellweger won Best Actress for her role in Nurse Betty, but when Hugh Grant called out the award, the future two-time Oscar winner was nowhere to be seen. As he comically perused the audience about her whereabouts, even joking she was under the table at one point, he was told she was in the bathroom.

Eventually, a producer asked him to accept on her behalf, but just as he began to, lo and behold, Renée returned, flustered and emotional, quickly explaining that she wanted to remove lipstick from her teeth and launching into her passionate speech.
