Sir Elton John lost sight of his British etiquette when he snubbed former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin at the TIME 100 gala Wednesday night.
"It's nice to be at an event where you meet some unusual people, like Sarah Palin," said the Brit, immediately following his remark with an eyebrow raise.
When asked who he wanted to meet most at the gala, Elton followed with another jab saying, "Not Sarah Palin but anybody else would be fine."
Fellow TIME 100 honorees included actor Neil Patrick Harris, Taylor Swift, Ben Stiller and Ashton Kutcher.
"I can't even get my dogs to listen to me, so I don’t know how influential I really am," said Kutcher, with wife Demi Moore on his arm. "This is one of those lists that you can't even imagine being on. I mean, I've been on the Razzies like three times so I'm getting used to that. This one, I don’t know if I'm going to get used to."
Comedian Andy Sandberg also made the annual list and had the special honor of being the gala's emcee.
"I'm more curious than nervous. This is certainly a new type of room for me to play," Sandberg told reporters before the ceremony began. But once behind the podium, Sandberg looked completely at ease as he called the TIME 100 list the "nerd's choice awards" and received roars from the audience.

He just doesn’t like her because she does not approve of his deviant lifestyle. Hey Elton, if you want to know what an “unusual” person looks like, look in the damn mirror
Normal for the abnormal
Exactly, what do you expect - she’s straight. That DISGUSTS most gays.
I guess she’ll just have to live with this. /s
And I’m sure the lovely lady doesn’t want to meet the aging homosexual sex pervert either. Life goes on.
May Time follow in Newsweek’s footprints.
A snub is generally considered ‘ignoring’ someone.
Elton John did not snub her. He insulted her.
Elton John is the one who refused to play on The View unless Elizabeth Hasslebeck was not there. All because Elizabeth challenged the lies of Elton’s pal Rosie O’Donut. He’s a thin skinned wuss.
I’ll never forget...Elton did perform at the Concert for 911....this was at a time when celebs were afraid to leave their castles (ie Rosie).
A heterosexual, gorgeous woman.
The main thing f**gs can’t stand.
Yup - S/he’s just jealous because Sarah is hotter.
They are afraid of Sarah!
Did he snub her, or did she snub him? Usually people only get that vocal when they feel inferior.
They could have spoken, or had a fag together outside.
Those people are just plain rude and obnoxious. They are so in love with themselves that they don’t know how to be nice to anyone! Disgusting!
Elton must have had too much fudge
Isn’t John the same douche bag who chastised America for being so misogynistic when he was raising money for Mrs. Clinton? Typical liberal hypocrite.
