The 3 worst Oscar jokes

Ever told a joke at a party and immediately known you shouldn’t have because of the resounding silence afterwards? Now imagine doing it in front of a room packed to capacity with Hollywood royalty.

Totes awkies, right?

Here's our list of the top 3 biggest fails:

3. David Letterman’s weird Oprah Uma, Uma Oprah thing failed on all levels except for one – complete and utter awkwardness. As far as I can remember, he kept on saying Oprah and Uma throughout the night and it just got exponentially weirder.

2. James Franco didn’t actually make any jokes, but with his cringeworthy, confusing “I couldn’t care less” act he definitely became one. Poor Anne Hathaway was basically jumping up and down like the Energiser bunny to make up for his wooden, lacklustre hosting.

1. Seth McFarlane’s entire performance. The edgy comedian basically ragged on everyone who wasn’t white and male, and he even managed to piss off a chunk of white men by being anti-Semitic. We saw that you’re a big boob, Seth.
