🎭 Iconic Humorous Incidents that Shook the Oscars ✨

The Oscar Ceremony Highlights are synonymous with big-screen brilliance, a night awash in dramatic achievements and tearful accolades. While the coveted statuettes symbolize artistry and triumph, it's the unscripted moments of humor that truly electrify the ceremony and remind us that even Hollywood royalty embraces the occasional pratfall and wit aside.

• One of the most Memorable Oscar Scenes rightfully considered the incident that occurred during the 46th Academy Awards in 1974. David Niven was the host of the Oscars that year. In an unexpected moment, a naked man named Robert Opel ran across the stage behind Niven while he was presenting. The cost of Opel’s brief escapade? An estimated $264 million in potential advertising revenue.

• Jennifer Lawrence got tangled in a fluffy dress during the 2013 Academy Awards ceremony. The incident occurred as she was climbing the stairs to accept the award for Best Actress for her role in the film "Silver Linings Playbook". Jennifer didn’t say anything special, but she stumbled beautifully and fell on the steps. 2.5 million views on Youtube. Sometimes you don't need words for fame.

• One more notable situation occurred at the 89th Academy Awards in 2017 when there was a mix-up with the Best Picture announcement. The presenters, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, were given the wrong envelope, leading to them mistakenly announcing "La La Land" as the winner instead of the actual winner, "Moonlight." This incident gave rise to many memes on Twitter which are even more funny than the case itself.

• Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry took the stage to announce the winner for Best Costume Design wearing completely outlandish costumes. Plush bunnies on Melissa and strange rags on Brian caused a storm of applause in the audience.

• After the ceremony, Glenn Close, who had been left without an Oscar for the eighth time, gave a triumphant dance. She left everyone astonished with her remarkable gyrating movements.

There were so many Entertaining Oscar Incidents, but we need to move on to the speeches that made famous filmmakers and actors laugh.

🎭 The Best Laugh-Out-Loud Speeches and Comical Oscar Presentations 🏆

Oscar is also a сelebration of the unexpected and fun. We take a look at the speeches of the masters of comedy who dared to turn cinema's most prestigious awards ceremony into a playground for wit and whimsy.

• Billy Crystal can rightfully be considered a King of Humorous Oscar Speeches. A master of deadpan and self-deprecating humor, Crystal hosted the Oscars 9 times, delivering gems like, "Why am I always here? What have I done to deserve this?" and "This next award goes to Meryl Streep... or someone like her".

• 73-year-old Jack Palance (“City Slickers”, 1991) funnily said that they are afraid to invite such old people to important roles because they might die at the wrong time, and to find his trustworthiness in this sense, he did push-ups several times and said, which actually can be 200 times. Everyone believed him.

• 82-year-old Christopher Plummer (“Beginners,” 2012) began by looking at the statuette and saying, “Honey, you’re only two years older than me. Where have you been all my life? He also said that if he were a decent person, he would share this Oscar with his co-star Ewan McGregor, but no, he (Christopher) is a very indecent person.

• Kate Winslet (“The Reader,” 2009) admitted that she had rehearsed this speech many times since she was eight, in the bathroom with a bottle of shampoo, and what happens when you’re in the same category as Meryl Streep (she was nominated for “Doubt”), then you sit quietly because you know that you won’t win. So, Kate said: "Screw it up this time, Meryl".

• Meryl Streep (“The Iron Lady”, 2012) - 18 nominations, 3 statuettes (so far), and the funniest speeches: “When they announced my name, I just had the feeling that half of America shouted: “No, as soon as possible, she’s again.”! “Well, I don’t care.” She started thanking her husband because usually, “you thank your husband at the end when the orchestra has already escorted you out”.

• The winner by a wide margin is Roberto Benigni (“Life is Beautiful” 1997), who first climbed onto the chairs, then jumped onto the stage like a bunny, yelled at Sophia Loren, who was presenting the award, that it would be better if they gave it to him instead of the Oscar, and more than anyone else, he thanked his parents for the greatest gift they gave him and without which he would not have achieved anything - poverty. In general, it was impossible not to love Roberto after this.

🎭 Red Carpet and Behind-the-Scenes Fun 🎬

Now we'll delve into the hilarious chaos of the red carpet and Award Show Mishaps, proving that even amidst the glitz and glamour, there's always room for a good laugh!

• Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the minds behind the cult series "South Park," made a bold entrance at the awards ceremony donning women's dresses. Parker replicated Jennifer Lopez's controversial Grammys outfit from the previous year, while Matt donned a pink dress reminiscent of Gwyneth Paltrow's attire at the 1999 Oscars. In the 2001 episode "It Hits the Fan" of the animated series "South Park," creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone parodied Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow. The episode satirizes the media's celebrity obsession and the acceptance of certain words on television. Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow are portrayed in the episode, symbolizing the celebrities targeted by the show's satire of celebrity culture.

• Angelina Jolie and her leg made headlines in 2012 when she attended the awards in a Versace dress featuring a thigh-high slit. While posing on the red carpet, she deliberately extended her right leg, seemingly showing off its beauty. However, despite her efforts, the pose appeared forced, leading to widespread internet memes circulating for an extended period.

• Jennifer Lawrence takes another tumble, this time on the Oscar red carpet. The "American Hustle" star, dressed in a stunning red peplum Dior gown, seemingly tripped over a cone while exiting her limo upon arriving at the Dolby Theater red carpet. She candidly shared with reporters, "They placed a cone right outside of my car, and I stumbled on it, resulting in a "goose egg". It really hurts".

• The real star of the 2017 Oscars was Justin Timberlake, who did everything to get noticed, and he succeeded. He was enjoying Oscars Red Carpet Fun. At first, he grimaced in front of his wife Jessica Biel while she was being photographed on the path; during her interview, he also got into the frame with different grimaces. And then Emma Stone got it too: while she was giving an interview, Justin also decided to get into the frame.

• Julia Butters Sandwich (2020). The young actress from "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" prepared well for the ceremony. Julia took the turkey sandwich with her and put it straight into her purse. When asked by journalists, she answered that she “doesn’t like the food they offer here.” "That's right, I carry everything I own with me".
