[Music]
I'd like to thank my friends my family
my um excuse me can I finish hey guys
it's Phoebe with WatchMojo today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10 x
award winning speeches got cut off
awkwardly we're taking a look at times
where awards show speeches were
awkwardly cut short either by the
dreaded play out music or by an
unforeseen force let's get to it
number 10 Tommy Wiseau
75th Golden Globe Awards whether you
think the room is the worst movie ever
made the best worst movie ever made or a
twisted masterpiece nobody ever expected
to see Tommy Wiseau on a televised award
show first person I have to thank is the
man himself Tommy Wise oh come on up
here Tommy
when James Franco won a Golden Globe for
playing wise Oh he welcomed the disaster
artist himself onto the stage wise Oh
seemed to miss read the situation
thinking that Franco was going to let
him talk wise Oh went for the mic but
Franco wrangled him away while Franco
proceeded to praise his influence wise
Oh didn't even get a word in granted it
wasn't wise doe who won the award but
the moment was awkward nonetheless maybe
Franco would have allowed wise Oh a
moment to speak if the music didn't
start playing over his own speech golden
gloves so what I'm not invited I know
that don't want me guy with axe and long
hair so I show them number 9 guillermo
del toro 75th Golden Globe Awards
Wow I was hoping to wipe my nose what is
Guillermo del Toro is one of the most
ambitious directors working today for a
while he was also one of the most
overdue film makers on the award circuit
when he won his first Golden Globe for
the shape of water del Toro was finally
given an opportunity to bask in the
spotlight for 25 years I have
handcrafted very strange little tales
makeup motion color light and shadow and
in many of these instances in three
precise instances these strange stories
these fables have saved my life
a passionate speech about how monsters
and the movies saved his life then as
the speech reached its emotional climax
the music started playing del Toro
wasn't having it and I wouldn't be here
lower the music I say it's taken 25
years give me a minute the music
subsequently halted as del Toro got in a
few more thank yous well that was a
mostly heartfelt moment Thank You hunter
mug number 8 Joaquin Phoenix 77th Golden
Globe Awards to my fellow nominees we
all know there's no
although bleeps in rambling aside
Joaquin Phoenix came off as very
gracious and humble during his Golden
Globes acceptance speech for Joker
he even applauded his fellow nominees
asserting that there's really no such
thing as the best actor Phoenix's speech
also took several political turns which
culminated with him saying that the
industry's should do more than send to
Australia well wishes in the midst of
the devastating bush fires and
criticizing Hollywood's non eco-friendly
use of private jets it was at this
moment that Phoenix got played off maybe
it was because Phoenix's speech was
already running long considering the
gloves went vegan that night though many
felt it was hypocritical when they
denied Phoenix a chance to finish his
thoughts on climate change number seven
rosario Dawson the 14th Alma Awards I
want to say thank you distinguished
members of the National Council of La
Raza and the Alma Alma Awards for
acknowledging and presenting me with his
humbling recognition in 2013 the Alma's
singled out rosario Dawson with the
outstanding commitment to cause and
community award since this special award
was for activism you'd think that Dawson
would be given all the time she needed
to spread her empowering message oh no
oh no it's a really good speech I
promise
while Dawson made her message loud and
clear the folks behind the scenes sent a
mixed message when they prematurely
played the music Giorgio Gees in turn
around the world to end the cycle of
violence that cripples our girls boys
and women alike so both Latino summits
and encourage inspire and educate our
youth to not only register and vote on
how to run for office bill campaigns and
be the effective advocates and activists
they hope to be skimming her iPad Dawson
started speed reading through her
meticulously written speech although the
audience kept applauding Dawson the
music continued to tune in and out
Dawson was still speaking when she got
cut off entirely as the telecast went to
commercial for a show about recognizing
American Latino artists the producers
didn't seem all that interested in
giving Dawson a voice number 6 Sterling
Kay brown 69th Primetime Emmy Awards
before anything like this happened for
you boys I was a fan for his performance
on this is us Sterling Kay Brown became
the first african-american to win the
Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
Emmy since Andre Braugher almost two
decades earlier I just want to say mr.
Brower whether it is at Stanford
University or on this Emmy stage it is
my supreme honor to follow in your
footsteps this historic victory was a
long time coming but it didn't translate
into a very long acceptance speech after
thanking his cast members Brown was
about to acknowledge who shows writers
directors and producers when the music
chimed in all writers you are
I didn't get that loud nobody got that
loud as the music grew louder and the
camera zoomed out Brown eventually left
the stage
although Brown felt no ill-will towards
anyone he later joked on The Late Show
that Nicole Kidman gave a much longer
speech at the ceremony but nobody
interrupted her not everybody can be
pretty Australian white women who have
won Oscars in the past so I knew that
might
[Applause]
[Laughter]
not that I'm blaming her that's too
uncomfortable moments for the price of
one
number five Adele 30-second Brit Awards
Adele was on fire in 2012 winning the
Brit Award for British album of the year
being the biggest award of the night
Adele naturally got a substantial amount
of time to speak right actually the
recording artist barely got more than a
few words in when host James Corden told
her that she needed to wrap things up
and I can't believe I'm about to come
I'm so sorry Adele went on to clarify
that the finger wasn't directed at her
fans but the suits who cut her off as
I'm sorry if I offended anyone the suits
offended me thank you very much for all
of your support Gordon later explained
that he felt awful about the whole
ordeal but was pressured by the
producers to close at the show just felt
awful did you speak to afterwards yeah I
ran straight to our room Oh
Adele you left no goodbye and not a
single word was said everywhere so with
a fancy except I wasn't thinking I was
swearing at them all right number four
Drake 61st annual Grammy Awards it's
like the first time in Grammys history
where I actually am who I thought I was
for a second so I like that that's
really nice Drake has made it no secret
that he's not the biggest fan of the
Grammys boycotting the award show
altogether in 2018 to the surprise of
many Drake did attend the following year
when he won best rap song for God's plan
that doesn't mean he had a change of
tune however you've already won if you
have people who are singing your songs
word for word the Canadian rapper used
this opportunity to tell his peers that
award shows are opinion-based
and the real victory is knowing that
loyal fans are lining up to see their
concerts
Drake seemingly had more to say but got
cut off before he could continue next a
special Grammy performance by Diana Ross
the producers reportedly offered Drake a
chance to come back out but he instead
settled for sharing an Instagram post
that read it too raw for TV
number three Yoda 12th MTV Movie Awards
grateful Emma hi did this award received
Christopher Lee wasn't in attendance at
the 2003 MTV Movie Awards but a CGI Yoda
did show up to accept their award for
best fight levitating onto the stage in
his power chair
Yoda thanked George Lucas his cast
members and for some reason Vin Diesel
since Yoda's Thank You list was so long
it was only a matter of time until the
music began playing Guido Steve
Guttenberg ki-adi-mundi yada imma soon
they offer yoga no one does being a Jedi
Master though Yoda was able to silence
the orchestra with a wave of his hand
making it clear that nobody forces him
offstage Yoda proceeded to drop some
modern lingo and gave one final
shout-out to Queen Latifah
it's about as awkward as the Star Wars
prequels but at least this bit was
intentionally funny which is I speak and
one of them is yours representing for
you and all my peeps
number two Russell Crowe 55th British
Academy Film Awards Russell Crowe is on
the fast track to sweeping every major
award show for his performance in a
beautiful mind especially after winning
Best Actor at the BAFTAs during his
acceptance speech the New Zealand native
recited sanctity a poem by Patrick
Kavanagh Pro was reportedly infuriated
when the poem got edited out of the
show's Australian broadcast he allegedly
confronted BAFTA producer Malcolm Garry
at a hotel pushing him up against a wall
while swearing up a storm although he
later apologized to Garry it was
nonetheless a PR nightmare for Crowe
at the Academy Awards a month later
Crowe lost Best Actor to Denzel
Washington one can't help but wonder if
Crowe would have won his second Oscar
had it not been for the controversy well
I mean Russell Crowe has never really
been one for reasonable discussion but
our number one pick is even juicier
before we get there here are some
honorable mentions
[Applause]
I just want to say
[Applause]
I just want to say
women and let's face it if the mothers
ruled the world there would be no yes
please wrap it up you know what it took
me nine years to get here
suck it thank you I was on a very
personal note I wasn't a thank-you to
Hillary Clinton for your grace and grit

the MTV Video Music Awards I'm really
happy for you imma let you finish but
Beyonce had one of the best videos of
all time even over a decade later this
remains one of the most infamous and
talked about moments in award show
history accepting the VMA for Best
Female Video Taylor Swift suddenly had
the mic yanked away from her by Kanye
West who declared the Beyonce got robbed
looking like a deer caught in the
headlights a speechless Swift just stood
there with her award thankfully video of
the year would go to Beyonce who let
Swift have her moment so I like for
Taylor to come out and have her moment
West was asked to leave the ceremony and
the controversy continues to follow him
in the form of countless parodies and
memes a lot of celebs know what it's
like to be played off but only Swift
knows what it's like to get Kanye off
yeah that's probably the ultimate award
show interruption like of all time what
do you guys think let us know in the
comments or tweet me at Phoebe
