6 huge award show mishaps that were as bad as Sean Spicer at the Emmys
Sunday night's Emmy awards displayed a surprising amount of tone deafness when the White House’s hilariously unqualified former Press Secretary Sean Spicer made a cameo appearance.
While some found the bit to be funny and "in good fun," many were disturbed by Hollywood giving a free pass to the man who rose to fame lying to the American public and acting as the face of the Trump administration.
But, if you've been following Hollywood like I have, you'll know that this isn’t the first time an award show made a really big flub with a presenter.
