Terrence Howard Whines About Emmy Snub in Super Awkward Red Carpet Interview

Fox's "Empire" has had its fair share of Emmy nominations, but lead actor Terrence Howard has never been bestowed the honor.

And he let his frustration be known during a SUPER awkward red carpet interview ahead of the 2019 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday when he was asked about his upcoming star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"It's interesting... how am I getting a star for TV when I've never received an Emmy nomination for TV? Ya know? I think an Emmy nomination would come first," the 50-year-old griped.

But the award snub grievance wasn't the most jaw-dropping moment of the interview as the "Hustle & Flow" star preceded it with a WTF lecture about why he would be leaving the entertainment business.

"I spent 37 years pretending to be people so people can pretend to watch and enjoy what I'm doing when I've actually made some discoveries in my own personal life with science that Pythagoras was searching for," began his eyebrow-raising rant.

"I was able to open up the flower of life properly and find the real wave conjugations that we've been looking for for 10,000 years. So... why would I continue, ya know.. walking on water for tips... when I've got an entire generation to teach a whole new world to?" he argued.

The KTLA reporters quickly snapped out of their "deer in headlight" expressions and asked if he was going to be sharing this newfound information, which prompted Howard to up the ante on his random rhetoric.

"I'm going to be sharing that on Tuesday when I receive my star. I'm going to be able to prove that gravity is only an effect and not a force. I'm putting something on YouTube where I will build the planet Saturn without gravity and build the Milky Way galaxy without gravity," he detailed.

Ohhhh-k.

At this point, the KTLA reporter jumped in to end the mind-boggling mumbo jumbo with a quick "Thank you very much, Terrence. Enjoy the night."

Well, we certainly have enjoyed the night so far.
