- Best Awkward Joke: Ricky Gervasis congratulating Kate Winslet on choosing to be in a Holocaust film for the inevitable award. (Apparently, this is a reference to a joke he made on his show Extras). Best movie awards joke since RBJ's speech in Tropic Thunder telling Ben Stiller he didn't get the Oscar for Simple Jack because he played it "full retard."
- Worst Awkward Joke: Sacha Baron Cohen's Guy-Ritchie-as-Madonna's-personal-trainer joke. I had to cover my face.
- And... Best Obscentity that Bypassed the Censors: Darren Aronofsky giving Mickey Rourke the finger.
I shall now quote from Tropic Thunder:
Kirk Lazarus: Everybody knows you never go full retard.
Tugg Speedman: What do you mean?
Kirk Lazarus: Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed...

woah i totally missed that obscenity! damn. btw is tropic thunder a good movie? i refuse to watch it due to my feelings on black face, but am curious.
It is hilarious. If you liked Ben Stiller's Zoolander humor you will probably like it.
And it is tasteful black face. If that is possible?
If 30 Rock and Sarah Silverman do it, I assume it is OK-dokey now.
