18 Times You Felt Embarrassed For Stars at the Oscars

The Oscars had a lot going on last year, and we're not only talking about the beauty of John Legend and Common's moving performance or Lady Gaga's triumphant tribute to Julie Andrews. From John Travolta's kiss on Scarlett Johansson's cheek to Neil Patrick Harris's dad jokes, things had a tendency to get awkward with no warning. Before this year's show hits TV screens on February 28, read on to see all the times you felt embarrassed for the stars put in tough spots in 2015.

When Oprah (apparently) tried escaping Lady Gaga on the red carpet.
When Sean Penn said this about winner Alejandro González Iñárritu.
And Alejandro joked back.
Miles Teller had already played the drums in a Birdman spoof.
When NPH went on stage in his undies.
When John Travolta got creepy with Scarlett Johansson on the red carpet.
Only to get creepier with Idina Menzel.
When Oprah touched David Oyelowo like this . . . in front of Stedman.
When Jennifer Lopez mouthed Chris Pine's lines.
When Melanie Griffith addressed Dakota Johnson's role in Fifty Shades.
When NPH got David Oyelowo to read a line dissing Annie.
When Terrence Howard didn't know what to say without his teleprompter.
All that talk about seat fillers with Steve Carell.
When NPH compared American Sniper's earnings to Oprah's net worth.
When NPH had this to say . . .
. . . about winner Dana Perry, who just shared a deep message about suicide and losing her son.
Oprah was over it before the show stretched to 3.5 hours.
It was so long, Benedict Cumberbatch must've run out of booze.
