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 Peter Baumgartnerfunny 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.

Will Smith bewilders viewers everywhere when, instead of presenting the award for Best Film Editing, he broke down in hysterics and explained how he thought the events of Men In Blackwere really happening to him. He didn’t know he was shooting a movie and he thought it was all real.
Many viewers criticized the Oscars officials for never telling Will Smith that the movie was not real life.
John Lithgow accepts the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and only thanks, "whichever one of your Earth Gods that invented nacho cheese." He then blinked sideways.
Earth to the Academy: this was upsetting!

He was right, but the Academy should have apologized nonetheless.
Ernest Borgnine uses his entire Best Actor acceptance speech to pledge his undying support for “future president Donald Trump” and is met with uproarious applause.
Host Garry Shandling starts the show off by looking into the camera, addressing somebody named “Simon Milheiser” and begging him to find the Jade Amulet “before the third sun rises.”
Get better, Hollywood.
