So here MailOnline takes a look at all the wildest awards show moments of 2024!
The Golden Globes
The 2024 Golden Globes handed out gongs to Oppenheimer, Succession and Emma Stone in January.
But away from the prizes, it was the backstage antics, on stage gaffes and history-making speeches which really got fans talking.
The ceremony held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel kicked off 2024 awards season and as with any live show packed with wall-to-wall A-listers, there were some Hollywood shocks.
Jennifer Lawrence threatens to leave
Jennifer Lawrence, 33, joked she would leave the 2024 Golden Globe Awards if she didn’t win for her performance in comedy No Hard Feelings
Jennifer Lawrence joked she would leave the 2024 Golden Globe Awards if she didn’t win.
When her name was called for the ‘Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy’ category, the No Hard Feelings star looked at the camera and mouthed, ‘If I don’t win, I’m leaving.’
Just a few moments later her pal Emma Stone, 35, was announced as the winner, however Lawrence took the loss in stride and did not proceed to leave.
Instead, she enthusiastically cheered on Emma, and appeared to scream out ‘Mother!’ in support of the star, who won for her performance in Poor Things.

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez sparked wild fan speculation as they seemingly had a dramatic chat about Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet.
Taylor, 34, was pipped at the post to the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award – a new category for the 2024 Globes – as her The Eras tour movie lost to Barbie and was seen being consoled by BFF Selena, 31, before the drama began.
Video from their table shows the pair and Miles Teller‘s wife Keleigh Sperry having an extremely animated discussion – with a somber Selena waxing lyrical to a shocked Taylor and Keleigh, before the latter is clearly heard clarifying: ‘with Timothee?’ as Selena nods.
Fans quickly began to analyse the clip and claim Selena was detailing how she asked the Wonka star for a photo – but Kylie allegedly said no.
Selena and Timothee previously starred as love interests in Woody Allen film A Rainy Day In New York back in 2018.
Taylor is not amused by Travis joke

The singer, 34, whose concert film The Eras tour movie was nominated in the new Cinematic and Box Office Achievement category but lost to Barbie, was enjoying a glass of champagne before Koy, 52, quipped about her romance with Travis Kelce, 34.
He said: ‘Welcome back. As you know, we came on after a football doubleheader.
‘The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL – on the Golden Globes fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift.’
The camera then cut to a shot of a stoic Swift sipping on her drink as she failed to crack a smile.

The WWE star-action film staple, 46, was summoned by Kimmel, who referenced the 50-year anniversary of a streaker named Robert Opel running onto the stage at the ceremony, interrupting late actor-presenter David Niven.
Kimmel, whose jokes about Robert Downey Jr. earlier in the evening landed flat, sought to summon the squared circle star onto the stage with the line, ‘Can you imagine if a nude man ran across the stage today?’
‘I said, can you imagine if – a nude man ran across the stage today? Wouldn’t that be crazy?
Cena backstage then said: ‘Psst! Psst, Jimmy! Come here.’
Kimmel said: ‘I can’t come there – do the thing! Excuse me for a second. What’s going on? You’re supposed to run across the stage’ as Cena said: ‘Yeah, I – changed my mind. I don’t want to do the streaker bit.’
‘I just don’t feel right about it. It’s an elegant event, you know, you should feel shame right now for suggesting such a tasteless …’
Kimmel said: ‘You wrestle naked, why not?’ as Cena said of his trademark ring attire: ‘I don’t wrestle naked, I wrestle in jorts!’
Cena walked sideways onto the stage with the envelope for Best Costume Design covering his genitals. He said, ‘Costumes – they are so important – maybe the most important thing there is.’
He acknowledged that he was unable to open the envelope, at which point Kimmel took over.

‘My dress is broken,’ she began while fighting through tears. ‘I think it happened during I’m Just Ken.’

While speaking directly about her little girl, Louise Jean McCary, the proud mother-of-one gushed she was going to ‘be three in three days’ and turned her ‘world technicolour.’
‘I love you bigger than the whole sky,’ she concluded quoting the Taylor Swift track Bigger Than The Whole Sky from her 2022 album, Midnights.
As she exited the stage, the two-time Golden Globe winner, who sported a 30-carat yellow diamond choker, held the clasp on the back and requested the audience to refrain from looking ‘at the back’ of her gown.
The BRITs
The Brit Awards 2024 were filled with many memorable moments this year as the stars returned to the 02 Arena for the biggest night in music.

The Capital Radio host was part of the presenting team, alongside Maya Jama and Clara Amfo, for the star-studded ceremony at London’s O2 which was broadcast on ITV.
Roman made a cheeky quip about Red Bull boss Christian during the live show, which took place just hours after Horner put on a united front at the Bahrain Grand Prix with his wife Geri Halliwell.
Whilst milling around the guests at the ceremony, Roman quipped: ‘It’s busier here than at team Red Bull’s press office.’
It came amid allegations relating to the leak of hundreds of WhatsApp messages which appeared to be written by Horner to a female colleague.
The messages came just 24 hours after Horner was cleared to continue as Red Bull head following an internal probe into ‘inappropriate behaviour’ by the F1 team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH.
Horner, who has always denied the claims, said previously: ‘I have the support of an incredible family, an incredible wife, an incredible team and everybody within that team.
‘And my focus is going on racing, winning racing and doing the best I can. It was a day about starting the season in he best possible way. My focus is on this team, my family, my wife and racing.’
Kylie Minogue does a ‘shoey’
Elsewhere during the chaotic ceremony, Roman convinced Global Icon award winner Kylie Minogue to do a ‘shoey’ – an Aussie tradition which involves drinking out of a shoe
She spends most of her time living in the UK, but Kylie Minogue proved she still calls Australia home during the 2024 Brit Awards.
The 55-year-old music icon, who won the BRITs’ Global Icon award, stunned fans by agreeing to participate in the Aussie ritual of drinking alcohol out of a shoe during the awards ceremony in London.
Host Roman Kemp convinced Kylie to drink her signature rosé wine from her high heels during an interview with the pop star at her table, saying it would be ‘amiss’ for the pair to not ‘go with an Aussie tradition’.
‘So will Kylie Minogue do a shoey with me at the Brits? If I ask for your shoe, can I do that?’ Kemp, asked.
Kylie appeared hesitant at first, asking the crowd: ‘Do I do this?’ before Kemp held out a pair of black stilettos and filled them with alcohol.
Proving she’s a good sport, the All The Lovers hitmaker clinked stilettos with the host and drank the entire shoe in one gulp.
Calvin Harris’ Saltburn reference

Roman Kemp made Calvin Harris drink a ‘bottle of Harry Styles’ bath water’ in one funny moment.
In a reference to the film Saltburn Roman sat with DJ Calvin and his wife Vick Hope at their table where he said he wanted to do some shots with him.
He said it was a ‘non alcoholic’ drink and didn’t give anymore details until after when he brought out a bottle labelled ‘Harry Styles’ bath water’.
Roman said: ‘I know, it is alcohol free, it is at one with the body. I have a mocktail for you. Are you ready for this one?’
They both downed the shots, then Roman quipped: ‘It is a little be salty.’
