It's fair to say that Hollywood has managed to kick 2019 off with a bang with the 76th Golden Globe awards. In days gone by, stars and celebs used to look down on television actors and thought of appearing on the small screen as slumming it. But now that we're allegedly living in the golden age of TV drama, with the quality of writing, directing and production higher than ever before, awards shows like this have become more prestigious and are now attended by A, B and C listers alike.

Predictably, this kind of attendance can lead to some pretty awkward moments, and this year's show certainly didn't disappoint in that department. Let's be honest, the whole reason any of us watch these shows isn't so we can see strangers get shiny trophies to take home to their mansions. No; we tune in for the drama: the weird outfits, the shady feuds, the naff speeches and cringeworthy encounters. So if you didn't have time to catch the Golden Globes in full, allow us to take you on a tour of the eight most awkward moments to get you back up to speed. Scroll down to check them out:
