Nancy O’Dell Embarrasses Taylor Swift
A lot of embarrassing things go down on the red carpet. While interviewing Taylor Swift at the 2015 Grammys, ET’s Nancy O’Dell told the singer-songwriter that she would walk away that night with a lot of men.
Swift responded with one heck of a death stare and said, “I’m not going to walk away with any men tonight.” The interview lightened up but started pretty awkward, to say the least.
Will Slap if Provoked
It's the slap that broke the internet, that was heard across the world, and that shook Hollywood to its core. You guessed it, it's the now infamous pop-culture moment when actor Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock across the face during the 2022 Oscars ceremony.
Chris Rock, while presenting an award, made a joke about Jada Pinkett-Smith's hair, which in Will Smith's own words "was too much for me to bear and I reacted emotionally." The moment drew mass global cringe and criticism and led to Smith being banned from the Oscars for 10 years.
Lil Xan and Noah's PDA
Young love, right? No, thank you. Lil Xan and Noah were very into each other on the red carpet, including awkwardly making out.
There was one point where Lil Xan stuck his fingers in his mouth and sucked on them. Confused, yeah, well, us too!
Gary Busey Kisses Jennifer Garner
When actor Gary Busey repeatedly interrupted Ryan Seacrest while interviewing Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney, everyone was a little peeved. But the encounter became truly uncomfortable when Seacrest tried introducing Garner and Busey. Busey responded by kissing the actress's neck.
Garner was obviously stunned and responded to the host's next question with a solid question of her own. "Aren't you going to ask me about getting kissed on the neck on the red carpet by this man? Um, that was nice."
Björk Wears a Swan Dress
One of the most iconic and cringe-worthy moments of the red carpet was when Björk showed up to the 2001 Academy Awards dressed in a swan dress. Apart from the dress itself, Björk was awkwardly embarrassed when people didn't seem to get the "artistic" element to her outfit.
She brought along six ostrich eggs with her, dropping them carefully on the red carpet. Other celebs' bodyguards kept picking them up and handing them back to her, thinking she dropped them by accident.
