Unplanned Award Show Moments That Were Cringey and Embarrassing

Award shows are full of surprises and sometimes even embarrassing moments. While celebrities look fancy on the red carpet, the best part of any award ceremony is the parts that are unplanned and unexpected.

From slip-ups and fashion disasters to funny speeches and unexpected interruptions, award shows always keep us entertained. Let’s take a look at some of these memorable moments that might make you laugh or cringe!

Here’s a moment we won’t forget! At the 2009 MTV VMAs, Kanye West went on stage and stopped Taylor Swift’s speech to say that Beyoncé should have won instead.

He even said, “Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time!” It was embarrassing, but Taylor went on to win many, many more awards, and Kanye said sorry later on.
