Unscripted mishaps are often the highlight of an awards show – if not the entire tedious awards season – offering a peek beneath the bonnet of what is usually such a well-oiled machine. So this list is for Madonna and all those entertainers forced into stilettos or strappy dresses or too-skinny jeans for the sake of art when really they’re just a recipe for a face plant.</div>
