Award shows are prominent for the shiny accolades, glitz, glamour, high fashion, performances and more. However, they are hardly complete without viral moments that grace headlines, become memes and shape pop culture.
Here are seven of the most viral award shows of all time:
Beyonce’s Pregnancy Reveal at the VMAs
Beyonce has a penchant for catching us unawares with surprises. At the 2011 VMAs, the multiple-award-winning singer ended her performance of ‘Love on Top’ by unbuttoning her blazer to reveal a baby bump to the surprise of the audience. Now, that’s how you drop a mic.

The 2017 ‘Best Picture’ Mix Up
Award shows like the Oscars are no stranger to controversial moments but in 2017, one of the biggest mix-ups in award show history occurred with the biggest award category of the night.
The cast and crew of Damien Chazelle’s highly acclaimed musical ‘La La Land’ were already on stage celebrating their Best Picture ‘win’ as announced by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway when it was announced that there was a mix-up in the announcements and Barry Jenkins’ ‘Moonlight’ actually won.
The moment went viral and it must have taken a load off Steve Harvey’s back after his own ‘Miss Universe’ award show mix- up.

When John Travolta took the stage to announce Idina Menzel’s performance at the Oscars, no one knew he would give us one of the most hilarious viral moments of all time. After lauding her as ‘wickedly talented’ and ‘the one and only’, he went on to call Idina Menzel ‘Adele Dazeem’. 😂
Winona Ryder’s Facial Expressions at The SAG Awards
In 2017 the Stranger Things cast took the stage to accept the award for ‘Outstanding Performance in an Ensemble in a Drama Series’ at the SAG awards.
