If you're like me, you love the awkward moments during awards shows. And despite being a prestigious affair, the Oscars were still home to some quality cringe/uncomfortable moments this year.
Here are some of the best. Enjoy!
Before the show started, Anthony Hopkins did this preshow dance, which very much gave Hannibal Lecter vibes:
People were pointing out how a lot of the "live" coverage wasn't exactly live:
Amy Schumer made this bruuuuutal J.K. Simmons joke:
There seemed to be some audio/mic issues during Mila Kunis's introduction of Reba McEntire's performance:
The director of Drive My Car, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, was cued off by music but persisted and said, "Just one more minute!"
The "We Don't Talk About Bruno" performance seemed generally off-key:
And of course the most awkward moment of the night started when Chris Rock made an offensive joke about Jada Pinkett Smith looking like "G.I. Jane." Jada has been open about her struggles with alopecia, which causes hair loss. She looked as if the joke hurt her feelings:
And then Will Smith approached Chris and hit him in the face:
Diane Warren had a less-than-happy reaction to Billie Eilish's win for Best Original Song:
And lastly, Kristen Stewart appeared to shake her head when Jessica won for Best Actress:

Daniel Radcliffe's made it no secret that he doesn't stand with J.K. Rowling's anti-trans beliefs.
In June of 2020, the actor and Harry Potter star published an open letter on The Trevor Project's website, stating that "trans women are women."

If you're currently job hunting, chances are you've found yourself at your wit's end of the application process. They can be long, tedious, and often times you don't even get a response back.
Which is probably why this résumé "hack" is currently re-circulating around Twitter.
The hack is called "white wording," and it's a trick designed to outsmart most companies' Applicant Tracking Software. The software is designed to sort through job applications and choose the ones that align best with the job description.

You know Glee — you love Glee.
One of the classic TV show's more memorable (for all the wrong reasons 🥴) characters was glee club director and teacher Will Schuester — or Mr. Schue — who was played by Matthew Morrison.
The episode seemingly boiled Mexican culture down to sombreros, maracas, tacos, and "Juan" jokes. buzzfeed.com/angelicaamarti…
Earlier this week, Prue Leith took to Twitter to announce that the Great British Bake Off's theme for their next episode would be "Mexican week."
Yeah, yikes 😅
It's not that I don't think it's possible to do an episode like this with appreciation and respect for the culture, but I was fairly certain that wasn't the direction #GBBO would be going.
