MADELINE KAHN!!!! Cringe. It wasn’t about Lily and it was rude to the other nominees. Ben Vereen did something similar at the Tonys when he said TO THE FIRST PERSON WHO REACHED OUT TO ME WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL RECOVERING FROM MY ACCIDENT.....CHITA RIVERA!!!! Eek.

It used to be on Youtube and it was awful, total cringe. She did a 1940s-style musical number with dancers on one of the Emmys in the 80s. Her voice was a church lady-sounding alto and the whole number was ridiculously corny and dated. Needless to say, the Emmys never had Shelley Long do another musical number.

Chloë Sevigny winning the Golden Globe in 2010 and having one of the stage staff accidentally step on (and rip) her dress while she was walking up to accept the award. At the beginning of the speech, she blurted out "I can't believe you just ripped my dress!". A lot of people thought she was being a cunt, but it just seemed to me that she was speaking her immediate feelings without any forethought. It was awkward, to say the least. Even worse, they misspelled her name as "Chloï Sevigny" on the bottom reader banner.
