Forget the Oscars and Emmys. This is officially awards season. Last week, the NHL and BET had their annual awards shows honoring the best offensive defenseman and gospel artist, amongst other things. Nothing says glitz like Jay Mohr and Kevin Hart hosting some of the whitest and blackest performers in the world. Unfortunately, both shows featured a bit of gaffe while presenting prestigious awards. While awarding the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct, two whores from Real Housewives (why?) had a little trouble pronouncing Martin St. Louis’s name. It’s French, ladies. One could argue that the bigger screwup was really having two absolutely horrible human beings present a trophy for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct.
Over at the BET Awards, a lucky contest winner got to announce the recipient of the Fans’ Choice Award. Unfortunately, she never learned how to read apparently and proclaimed Chris Brown as the winner when it was really Rihanna. Luckily, those two don’t have a history together.
These are two epic fails but there’s only question to ask: Who Ya Got?
