For the second time this year, Hollywood gathered to celebrate some of their biggest stars.

The 2024 Primetime Emmys were hosted this past Sunday to honor the best in American television, recognizing shows which aired from June 1, 2023 until May 31, 2024. 

And what every award show has in common are its “moments”: some heartwarming, some laughable, and of course, some are just downright awkward.

Here are 11 of those puzzling moments from the 76th Emmys that were too awkward to ignore.

John Oliver’s F-Bomb

As Oliver won the 2024 Emmy for Outstanding Scripted Variety Series, he gave an utterly chaotic speech, which included an homage to his dog, who has passed away. 

When the crowd played him off, he simply yelled “F–K YOU.”

The "crowd played him off" - ? Did everyone bring a violin?

I think they were applauding to try to get him to bring his speech to a close?

Keep it classy dude! It's not like they're not aware it's going to happen if they take too long.

You clearly didn't see the humour. He was basically saying, aw hell no I'm going to keep talking.

    Fans Argue “The Bear” Was Put In The Wrong Category

    Fans Argue “The Bear” Was Put In The Wrong Category

    The Bear scored 11 awards, breaking its own record, but fans online were quick to say the show should not have been placed in the comedy category.

    “All those actors and actual comedies deserve better,” someone said. 

    The show is one built on consequences and grief, but the show’s producers see it as a comedy.

    Go to Forbes.com and read why the PRODUCERS call their show “comedy.” It’s apparently funny to them. And as far as Ivan tell, ONLY them. Nothing is “re-categorized.”

    Jean Smart Poking Fun At The Streaming Wars

    When the American actress accepted her trophy for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, Jean took a moment to tease about the constantly changing names in streaming companies.

    When thanking her crew, she said “HBO” before catching herself. “...Max,” she added. “I’m sorry. Just what we needed, another network!”

    HBO Max, a streamer for HBO, was re-named as just Max, prompting lots of confusion.

    Is it an undergarment that makes the giant hips and prosthetic breasts or is it surgical enhancement? If you can attach prosthetics that size and blend them that’s pretty impressive.

    Is she just making fun of women now? Cause she's not honoring femininity in any way with that look.

    That definition isn't what they meant with scouring. They meant, pouring through. Intently scrolling. Grinder would mean they are looking for close by matches whether to actually hook up later or just seeing who in the audience is on Grindr is unknown and irrelevant). The funny part is it seems like she is also pointing out that Dawn was scrolling while at the Emmys....then got on her own phone to post about it. 🤣 Edit... this was supposed to be in teply to @Serena

    Translation? I get "idk", but the rest of it goes wayyyy over my head. Scouring is what you do to a dirty pot or pan. Grindr, yes, whatever it is, I've heard of it, but the rest?

    Grindr is an LGBTQI+ hook-up app that shows you like-minded folks in your area, so Dawn was checking out who at the Emmys was also on the app. Scouring is another way of saying searching thoroughly.

    And if they did ‘leave’ they probably just went to have fun somewhere etc. plus as an ex performer, the amount of wigs and s**t they are wearing, i used to also look for the first queue to leave when I could, so I could remove my heavy showcase wigs and swap out for lighter one etc. or change shoes
