AWKS. Prepare to feel bad for Miss Columbia. Whoever left her standing there with the crown on her head for all that time has a lot to answer for (and TV Ratings).
Behold possibly the most awkward bit of television you've seen this year... Especially at the 2:50 mark.
As for his apology; Harvey did say he took full responsibility, but re the "don't hold it against the ladies" comment... eh, nobody does. And then he just saunters off...
Obviously he did feel bad as he promptly took himself on to twitter to say the following...
I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake. I feel terrible.

Secondly, I'd like to apologize to the viewers at that I disappointed as well. Again it was an honest mistake.

I don't want to take away from this amazing night and pageant. As well as the wonderful contestants. They were all amazing.

As Twitter is essentially made for this scenario, everyone had an opinion... Here are just some of them.
you should host the Grammys, maybe Katy Perry will win one. @IAmSteveHarvey

Steve Harvey announces wrong winner of #MissUniverse2015, takes back the crown and moves it to another head. THIS IS HOW BEAUTY WARS START.
