We had our baby shower on the day of the Oscar’s this year, so I set my DVR to capture some of the Oscar fun.  I never did get around to watching all of it, but I caught this interview and thought it was HILARIOUS!

George, one of the hosts for ABC’s On The Red Carpet is flustered here when he obviously wasn’t ready to be on camera at the moment and then tells Susanne Bier (Director of “In A Better World” which won Best Foreign Film) “I’m sorry, we were a little stunned because you’re wearing this gorgeous necklace.” Excuse me?  WHAT did he just say?  The reason he is flustered and doesn’t know what to do is BECAUSE OF HER NECKLACE?

He doesn’t know who she is and has to ask “You’re nominated for your work in a foreign film, CORRECT?” And when she mentions “Being a film director is quite wonderful”, there is an awkward silence as neither host responds.

After they turn their back to her to face camera and she’s still standing there wondering if she should stay or go, George then starts PLAYING WITH HER NECKLACE and says “SHE’S SHOWIN’ THIS. SHE’S SHOWIN’ THIS. SHE’S SHOWIN’ THIS”.  OMG!  I felt so bad for her.  Her view of America was FOREVER changed after this awkward interview.

Look, I totally understand what it’s like to be doing interviews on the fly and not always knowing exactly who you are talking to in this type of setting, but this was just really funny to me. Reporting at one of it’s most AWKWARD and HILARIOUS moments.
