15 of the Wildest, Most Memorable Golden Globe Awards Moments Ever

The Golden Globe Awardshave long held a reputation as the loosey-goosey younger sibling of the Academy Awards.

Maybe it’s because it’s the start of awards show season, and stars aren’t yet tired of the red carpet grind. Or maybe it’s just become a self-fulfilling prophecy of the show that celebrities are going to get a little silly, but for whatever reason, the Globes annually seem to give us more double-take moments than most Hollywood spectacles. Let’s look at some of our favorites.

Time’s Up takes the spotlight (2018)

Emma Thompson throws her shoes (2014)

One word: Queen.

Lady Gagavs.Leonardo DiCaprio(2016)

In her defense,Lady Gagaisn’t actually what made this so funny: It wasLeo’s“Gee, what’s her problem?” eyebrow raise after their close encounter. He goes from boyishly enthusiastic to sheepishly offended in .5 seconds.

Ricky Gervais asks Mel Gibson for some clarity (2016)

(Video is NSFW)This was extraordinarily awkward, and probably flew under the radar for a lot of people because of the censor’s quick fingers. At the 2016 awards,Gervais took advantage of Mel Gibson coming onstage to ask him,“What the f— does ‘sugar t—‘ even mean?” referencing the nickname Gibson assigned to a police officer involved in his 2006 DUI arrest.

Tina Fey speaks truth to Clooney (2015)

Bette Midler is the original NSFW presenter (1980)

Midler was actually referencing Joan Crawford’s own acceptance speech — which may have been the first time the Globes/breasts joke was made on-air — when she grabbed her own bust, but Midler’s still getting credit for the risqué moment. Oh, and then she mimed a sexual act on the statue.

Isaac Mizrahi gropes Scarlett Johansson (2006)

Wenn

Really not okay, Isaac. Johansson later rightly called the designer out for his grabbiness.

Oliver Stone gets escorted out (1979)

Elizabeth Taylor presents … confusion (2001)

If you Google “Hollywood’s drunkest night,” it returns results for theGolden Globes. Just saying!

Angelina Jolietakes a dip (1999)

Joliedidsay that she’d jump in the pool if she won in 1999.And then she made good on that claimat the Beverly Hilton pool, taking anAccess Hollywoodproducer with her.

Sacha Baron Cohen scorches the Earth (2009)

“The recession is affecting everyone, even celebrities,” Cohen said as he presented in 2009, preparing to give Ricky Gervais a run for his most-people-offended-in-the-least-amount-of-time money. “Victoria Beckham hasn’t eaten for three weeks. Charlie Sheen has been forced to have sex without paying for it. It’s true! And even Madonna has had to get rid of one of her personal assistants. Our thoughts go out to you, Guy Ritchie.”

Meryl Streep goes fullWire(2012)

Whether Streep was intentionally referencingThe Wire’swonderfully corrupt (and eloquent)Clay Daviswith her extended “s—” after realizing she forgot her glasses is unclear, but it was a fantastically unscripted bit of hilarity.

Jack Nicholson endorses the pharmaceutical industry (2003)

Case in point for why theGolden Globeshave a reputation for glorifying Hollywood debauchery: Nicholson admitting to being high on Valium during hisAbout Schmidtacceptance speech.

Sharon Stone won’t let Richard Gere accept in peace (2003)

Note to Golden Globe presenters: Unless you’re Elizabeth Taylor, the moment is not about you.

Chrissy Teigenbecomes a meme (2015)

No, no one knew what that face was supposed to be. Not even the person who made it.
