Ronan Farrow, the estranged son of director Woody Allen and a future MSNBC host, has made no bones about his disdain for his father in the past, due in no small part to the unsavory allegations raised in a recent Vanity Fair piece dealing with Allen and Mia Farrow’s family life.

And after an honorary Golden Globe presentation to Allen — who, in absentia, was hailed by actress Diane Keaton specifically for his ability to work with actresses — Farrow made his disgust clear on Twitter.

For her part, Mia Farrow — Ronan Farrow’s mother and Woody Allen’s ex-wife — who left him following the revelation that Allen had embarked on a relationship with her adopted daughter, stayed out of the fray, tweeting this before Allen’s award presentation began:

    "The Bachelorette" men are the worst: 7 reasons why this season is going to be a glorious disaster

    Brandon, 28, "Hipster"
    This self-proclaimed "hipster" by trade — that's right, not an artisanal chocolatier or re-claimed wood whittler but a generic "hipster" — doesn't even have any tattoos. (He does list one of his best attributes as "humble," though).

    Evan, Erectile Dysfunction Expert, 33
    Believe it or not, the worst thing about Evan isn't his career. His biggest deal-breaker is: "Girls with chipped nail polish, girls who talk too much, narcissists, clingers, girls who have serious food allergies." Jabbing yourself in the leg with an Epi pen actually sounds preferable to a date with him.

    Daniel, Male Model, 31
    A "male model" who refers to his body as a "lambo" not once, but twice, in a biography that he presumably had time to mull over. (Example: "Are you comfortable wearing swimwear in public?" "Very comfortable. Why have a lambo if you park it in the garage?”)

    Nick S., Software Salesman, 26
    Not only does Nick S. take neckerchief fashion cues from Fred of "Scooby-Doo," but he lists the food he dislikes most as “scary cheeses.” Bad-mouthing cheese is like bad-mouthing our best friend. Deal-breaker, Nick S. Deal-breaker.

    Grant, Firefighter, 27
    On the one hand, Grant is the sexy firefighter of our dreams. On the other hand, his worst date memory is “Getting lunch with a girl and listening to her talk about Harry Potter for 20 minutes” — which actually doesn’t sound like enough time spent talking about the British national treasure.

    Vinny, Barber, 28
    Vinny, who somehow lives the paradoxical life of being a professional barber and existing with this haircut.

    Will, Civil Engineer, 26
    If Will could switch bodies with anyone for a day it would be serial womanizer and self-proclaimed “recovered ego addict” John Mayer so... um... yeah, enough said.
