Because on the red carpet just before she makes out with him. French Kissing in front everybody and tell just after you‘re in love with him?

[@pakhi5073]

Exactly

[@evilsWa]

That wasn’t the awkward part it was the part where she said she was in love with her brother. A term you don’t typically use for your siblings. When you use terms that you don’t typically use it leads to… Wait for it… Awkwardness. Why didn’t you point out that she was smiling and wonder if that was the awkward part?

[@avettorossian6395]

1. Telling how much you love your brother is not awkward 2. James Franco and Anne Hathaway were fine 3. Nicole Kidman had millions of rings on her fingers so it was hard to clap cause rings were touching

[@fleetwoodmacdreams1695]

Actually Nicole Kidman borrow a very expensive diamond bracelet and she didn't damaged it while clapping

Gwyneth Paltrow's speech wasn't awkward I would say she was OVERWHELMED with emotions😂

[@sunandinighosh6037]

You should see the whole video...it was hell awkward and weird

[@skylark0078]

Although the last one was tragic,most of the other ones were just human and not awkward especially Gwyneth Paltrow crying I mean if you won an oscar you would cry your heart out too.

[@evilsWa]

Hawk Eye yeah and watching somebody cry their heart out is awkward. Watching somebody fall down is awkward. Having awkward moments is part of being human. What was the point of bringing up the fact that everyone in these videos is in fact a human being? Was anybody on here saying wow I can’t believe that these non-human beings had awkward moments? Why does everybody have to argue everything?

[@skylark0078]

This comment was for people who were making fun of them and were getting disgusted by their "awkward" moments... Tbh I don't think watching someone cry is awkward I think it's rather sweet that Gwyneth was crying because it expressed how much the award meant to her.

[@imadeyoureadthis.9743]

[@adricabrera51]

The fact that Moonlight won oscar over La La Land is the most awkward moment ever

Moonlight deserved every bit of oscar it got if not more

[@elisejackson2854]

why? they deserved it.

[@elisejackson2854]

@Riley Fryer they 100% deserved it.

[@NicKeLas]

@@elisejackson2854 I haven't seen "Moonlight" yet, but that was an awful situation, and it might have hurt the movie more than if they had not decided to do it justice by announcing it as a true winner right away. The "La-la-land's" team was already on stage, and this was such a brutal and sudden rejection. I'm sure it was just as awkward for the "Moonlight's" team to get on stage after that. And anyway, there are often more than one movie among the nominated that deserve to be called "The Best Picture", but there can only be one, of course. So, the situation was very poorly handled, I hope they have developed a proper protocol just in case after that.

[@phanhxinhdep]

Amit Deb "they just read the wrong name", Ryan Gosling said

[@girliboi]

i'm thinking there's a fundamental misunderstanding of the definition of the word "awkward" when we're talking about someone deliberately trying to grab headlines by climbing all over their brother or throwing ashes on a 3rd-rate tv host.. does anyone honestly think bjork actually meant to wear a forgettable evening gown, but then somehow accidentally got it mixed up with her halloween costume? that was the WHOLE POINT.. nobody remembers what won best picture 20 years ago, but we're still talking about the swan dress.

[@copyright-ur1sf]

I think they mean "awkward" meaning: embarassing or overreaching. When someone is so thirsty for attention that they dress like an idiot or say/do weird things in their acceptance speech, I'd absolutely say that's awkward. That being said, I agree with many on here that Marlon Brando's moment should not have been included.
