The Decade's Most Talked About Award Show Moments

By Amber James Posted Nov 29th 2009 01:00PM

Adam Lambert's AMAs performance from Sunday night has everyone talking, and it seems award shows in 2009 were filled with shock value. We predict that years from now, people will still be talking about Kanye West infamously interrupting Taylor Swift at the VMAs. When hundreds of celebrities are piled into one room, there is no guessing what will happen.

Over the past decade, there have been plenty of unexpected award show moments, so let's take a look back at our top picks.

1. Madonna kisses Britney Spears (and let's not forget Christina Aguilera) during the 2003 MTV VMAs. We still love that the camera pans to a very bewildered Justin Timberlake.

2. We are still shocked re-watching Faith Hill lose her cool at the 2006 Country Music Awards when Carrie Underwood was announced as an award winner. Her reaction speaks for itself.

3. Bruno (played by actor Sacha Baron Cohen) drops in on Eminem at the MTV Movie Awards. Too bad the whole stunt wound up being fake.

4. While it was harmless, the media wouldn't quit talking about the alleged "kiss" between Angelina Jolie and her brother James Haven at the 2000 Oscars. Haven later admitted that he was just congratulating her for winning Best Supporting Actress, but it blew up into so much more.

"I did not give Angie a French kiss, it was something simple and lovely. I congratulated her on the Oscar win and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. It was snapped and became a big thing round the world," he said.

5. During the 2003 Oscars, Adrien Brody walked on stage to accept his award for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role" for 'The Pianist' and shockingly leaned presenter Halle Berry over and gave her a long, sexy smooch. We definitely didn't see that one coming.

6. Britney Spears opens the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards with a painfully awkward rendition of 'Gimme More.'

7. When Halle Berry accepted her Razzie Award for Worst Actress for 'Catwoman,' she played along and showed she had a huge sense of humor.

8. While there is no video, Josh Brolin's acceptance speech at the New York Film Critic Circle awards in January 2009 caused quite a stir. Accepting his award for Best Supporting Actor in 'Milk,' Brolin began his speech, "Quite an actor, Sean Penn, quite an actor. [Pause] Amazing. [Pause] And now I'm an a**hole. Like Russell Crowe. Because I'm not as smart as Sean. [Pause] Quite an actor. [Pause] Amazing actor. I've loved you in 'Milk,' I thought what you did with that role was incredible. We've known you as an actor who doesn't smile very much. And the fact that you smiled as much as you did in this film is amazing. Truly incredible. You are an amazing actor. You are going to get the Oscar. Because you smiled so much," Brolin said to actor Sean Penn.

9. Lady Gaga bleeds to death at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Need we say more?

10. Rage Against the Machine bassist Tim Commerford was arrested after climbing the set at the 2000 VMAs at Radio City Music Hall after Rage lost out in the Best Rock Video category to Limp Bizkit.

the funniest was faith hill's face when she lost. presumptuous, aren't we? obviously, no one told her not to count her chickens before they hatched. move over faith, you're old! LOLOLOLOL
I didn't see anything awkward with britney's dancing. sure her belly was hanging out, but she had a baby, and she was moving like an old man, but what's new?
that adrien brody is a perv, he barely acknowledge his wife's or gf's kiss of congrats and then he goes and practically asphixiates halle to death. Perv!
and justin did not look "bewildered". he was like, "cool!" when madonna kissed the girls. Men.
and it was sooooooo obvious that eminem and bruno thing was staged. cmon, people! soooooo obvious.
and that kiss between angie and her brother was so affectionate, not sexual. people made such a big deal out of this, saying there was tongue. there was no tongue at all! and even if there were, so what? it's not like he had sex with her right there on the carpet. bleh.

....LOL faith hill.

You know why this list isn't good? Because it overlooked, somehow, Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.

that's because Janets wardrobe malfunctin happened at the Super Bowl, and not during an awards show, which was the topic of this article.

Britney's performance wasn't that bad and her body didn't look all that awful; she just needed a better fitting, less revealing costume. It seems that she was self conscious which contributed to her less than stellar performance.
