Maybe they should have just winged it.

The winners for Best Hair and Makeup at the 91st Academy Awards also won some internet infamy Sunday night after their acceptance speech for Vice went off the rails.

Oscar viewers on Twitter were quick to poke fun at the chaotic speech.


Train wreck: The winners for Best Hair and Makeup at the 91st Academy Awards also won some internet infamy Sunday night after their acceptance speech for Vice went off the rails

The trio of Greg Cannom, Kate Biscoe and Patricia Dehaney looked ecstatic as they made their way up to the stage to collect their little golden men.

But the trouble started almost as soon as they opened their mouths.

After thanking a few of their Vice collaborators, the winners started to talk over each other.

Biscoe held up a sheet of paper with their speech on it, from which the three were supposed to alternate lines, but they apparently didn’t bother to figure out who would say which lines.

The orchestra in the auditorium started to play off the stumbling winners, but it didn’t speed things up, and they continued to the end of their prepared speech.

Indiewire film critic David Ehrlich, who gave Vice a blistering negative review, took a hit at the film itself, which dramatizes Dick Cheney’s rise to power within the George W. Bush administration.

‘honestly if this acceptance speech were any clumsier it would be a scene in VICE. #Oscars.’ 

One viewer was unequivocal in saying the ‘three just won the Oscar for the worst acceptance speech ever, by a landslide.’ 

Another poster shared a similar sentiment: ‘This could potentially be the worst acceptance speech of all time #oscars #vice.’

The mixed-up acceptance speech reminded multiple viewers of the horrors of high school presentations.

One tweeter wrote, ‘90% of high school group presentations #Oscars.’

Another tweeted, ‘Me and my friends during a presentation. #Oscars’ with a photo of the Vice winners.

Another viewer took the painful speech as a symptom of the evening’s flaws.

‘This is me, changing the channel on the longest #Oscars acceptance speech for makeup ever. Seriously…one of the most boring Academy Awards shows EVER.’  

‘Watching Netflix until #TheWalkingDeadStarts,’ he added.’
