Here’s one lesson I discovered last night covering the GQ Man of the Year Awards. Covering the red carpet on live television, fantastic. VIEW THE VIDEO ABOVE: Sally Bowrey interviews Sam Worthington on red carpet at GQ Man of the Year awards. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Interviewing stars seeing red on the red carpet, not so excellent. The star in this case was Sam Worthington, who later on that night would be crowned GQ Man of the Year. The important things he took offense to … well, that would be me. In a minute of lapse, I described his other half of 10 years by her first name. He did not like it, and he made that clear. Covering red carpets live for the news is typically a cluster of behind-the-scenes disasters. Elbow to elbow with journalism pack, as PR individuals glued to phones use millisecond updates, Sally on the red carpet on Wednesday night. Credit: 7NEWS “The stars are coming!” “No, now they are late!!!” “Actually, they have actually simply taken out!!!!” All you have is hope that there’ll more than simply tumbleweeds rolling down the red carpet when the news anchor states, “Over to you!” Last night, with seconds to extra, the couple I had actually hung my entire news cross off entered the frame. Yes, I made a Bingle bungle, however I am still at a loss to comprehend why it triggered such offense. I stated Lara’s first name. Not the incorrect name. Simply a name she had actually utilized for a huge part of her life. One that was a family name, long before she satisfied her other half. While it’s a name she no longer utilizes, it is one that plainly has actually stuck in the mind of this press reporter. Lara didn’t appear the least bit troubled by it and chuckled it off when I really apologised. Sally speak with Sam and Lara Worthington on the red carpet.

Hours after my red-carpet mistake, Sam Worthington was crowned Man of The Year and mentioned the requirement for us to move past the out-of-date ideas. Informing the crowd that guys “can like others unconditionally and respectfully, without needing to measure up to some out-of-date requirement or some stereotyped, antiquated, and simply plain unfortunate concept of what a guy ought to be”. I could not concur more.
