It's that time of year again. The Grammys have now come and gone, with the usual amount of controversies, upsets and their fair share of brilliant moments. However, one thing you can guarantee on getting at some point during any kind of awards ceremony is awkwardness. Whether it's that time that they gave the wrong Oscar to La La Land or the now infamous moment that Kanye West stormed the stage when Taylor Swift was mid-acceptance speech, there are bound to be a few cringeworthy scenes. Now that it's over, we know that 2018 was no different for The Grammys - as the list below goes to show.

1. When Tony Bennett got in the way of Rihanna

Instead of leaving the stage after presenting it, Bennet awkwardly got in the way between her and the microphone.

10. U2's outside performance

Cutting away to U2 on a barge in front of the Statue of Liberty might have sounded like a good idea, but people were mostly confused.

Add in the fact that all these incredibly wealthy and eccentric personalities are all in one place and you've guaranteed some strange behavior too.

Everybody loves an awards show, and it's safe to say that the 2019 AMAs didn't disappoint in that regard. It's always a pleasure to watch some of the most glamorous, talented people take to the red carpet to pick up an award for all their hard work, and for some under-appreciated artists to get the credit they so richly deserve.

Taylor Swift picked up the accolade of Artist of the Decade and was also the most-awarded artist that night, and the most awarded artist in the award show's history. Taylor boasted a whopping 29 wins, which extended her record for most Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist and Favorite Pop/Rock Album awards wins.

But to be honest, most of us tune into these shows for the drama. For the cringe-worthy speeches, the live TV debacles, and the eyebrow-raising outfits. There were plenty of all three at the elaborate award show this year, which was held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Scroll down to take a look at some of our favorite moments below:

1. A fan calling Carrie Underwood 'extra' being recorded on-camera:

When Carrie Underwood made two speeches in the space of one night, a fan could be heard openly calling her 'so-extra' while the crowd applauded.

2. Selena Gomez's off-key performance: 

Selena Gomez took to the stage to deliver a stirring rendition of her song 'Lose You To Love Me', and yet a number of people seemed to think that her singing was more than a little off-key.

3. Taylor Swift and Halsey were the only people to stand when Billie Eilish was given an award: 

When Billie Eilish was given an award at her award show debut, Taylor Swift and Halsey seemed to be the only person standing up and cheering for her.

4. Jamie Lee Curtis stepping on Camila Cabello's dress:

6. Toni Baxton's obvious lip-syncing: 

Toni Braxton also took to the stage with a performance of her own, but many people wondered if she was actually lip-syncing the whole thing.

7. Halsey's acceptance speech:

A lot of people couldn't make sense of Halsey's acceptance speech, which seemed to jump erratically from one topic to the next.

8. Taylor Swift shading Scooter Braun: 

Taylor Swift also seemed to make a dig at world-famous music producer and agent Scooter Braun during her own performance.

Did you manage to make it through all eight without cringing? I couldn't. But these aren't the only things that eagle-eyed viewers noticed when watching the American Music Awards, and we've written about all of them. For example, do yourself a favor and check out this article we penned all about Selena Gomez's new thigh tattoo, which was captured on camera by the paparazzi.

It's difficult not to get caught up in all the glamour and glitz of award shows. Who can resist tuning in to watch the Oscars, or flicking over to check out the VMAs. There's always something to speculate about: namely who will manage to win something, and who will walk away with nothing. Who's going to milk their acceptance speech, and who's going to shed a tear when they get to nab themselves a shiny trophy?

But of course, even better than that that is all the toe-curlingly awkward moments that make us cringe into our sofas. Don't deny that you don't enjoy it: remember how many people sat up and took notice when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift? Of course, you do. It was water cooler conversation for weeks afterwards, and lucky for us, 2018 didn't disappoint either. Scroll down to check out our top ten ridiculously awkward award show moments of the last year. See if you can make it through all then without wincing:

When the 2018 American Music Awards rolled around, we were all keen to see which of our favourite artists won the heavily desired gongs. One thing we were even more excited about though? Lapping up all of the inevitable awkward moments that came out of the annual ceremony!

After all, it's not a celebrity music award show unless someone almost falls over, an interviewer on the red carpet makes an A-lister uncomfortable as hell and a hearty lip-synching scandal (or two) ensues. Enjoy!

Speaking of celebrity award show drama, do you remember when Pink allegedly shaded Christina Aguilera at American Music Awards last year?

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:

1. Cody Fern's cloven shoes

Pretty toe-curling stuff huh? But another weird moment from the show that we'd like to talk about was when a number of social media users were surprised by Christian Bale's natural accent.
