Throughout the years, we've all witnessed some pretty mortifying red carpet and award show mishaps and misfortune. Certainly,  Kanye's behavior at the recent MTV Music Awards stands out as the most innapropriate.  Obviously, the viewing audience loves a little drama, a little scandal, AND appreciates the "what are you wearing," "how long did it take you to get ready" banter that ensues on the red carpet. But is it time for celebrities (and hosts) to start paying a little more attention to etiquette and manners, since they are considered America's royalty? (Certainly the Queen of England would never ask a guest about spanx....)

Well according to our all-things-manners guru Lisa Gache of Beverly Hills Manners, there were many faux pas amongst celebrities and the celebrity commentators this year... and unfortunately, the rain didn't help.  Here are Lisa's picks for this year's Golden Globes Manners Biggest Winners and Losers!

UMBRELLA ETIQUETTE. Neil Patrick Harris was overheard talking about the inconsiderate size of some of the umbrellas the celebs were using and how they were as big as tents making them almost impossible to get around. Next time they may want to remember the following umbrella etiquette tips: (a) select an umbrella that is appropriate for your size and the occasion, (b) be mindful of those around you before opening your umbrella so you do not accidentally poke someone, (c) raise or lower your umbrella to match the height of those passing you and tip your umbrella away from the other person to avoid a collision (d) close your umbrella before entering any indoor space and make sure to remove any excess water and store in a dry place such as an umbrella stand or carrying case and (e) carry your umbrella with caution and hold it vertically with the pointed end down.

COMMENTATING ETIQUETTE. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love E!, but I think Mr. Seacrest and Mrs. Rancic had a few manners missteps themselves. Why Ryan had to embarrass poor Jane Lynch by showing her the clip of a bird pooping on her forehead and then make a second wise crack about it is beyond me, and then if I had to hear Guiliana say the word "frickin" one more time, I don't know what I was going to do?! A note to our commentators in the future, stick to the complimentary clips and try to refrain from using slang. It is much more becoming.

BBE a/k/a BIG BOOB ETIQUETTE.  The biggest offenders were Mariah Carey and Christina Hendricks. Ladies, sometimes things are better left to the imagination. We were so insanely distracted by your ginormous cleavage that we could barely focus on anything else!! Whether blessed with a naturally enhanced pair or sporting surgically enhanced bosoms, make sure you do not border the lines of indecent exposure by bearing too much décolletage and questioning good taste.
