With the 2022 Oscars going down in history as one of THE MOST Shocking, we’re breaking
down some of the most shocking Award Show moments to date.
Let’s get into it.
It was the slap heard and seen around the world – even if you didn’t watch it live!
The 20-22 Oscars will definitely go down in history as one of the wildest Academy Award
shows of all time.
While Chris Rock was on stage to present the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, he made
a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head by saying…
“Jada, I love you, G.I.
Jane 2, can’t wait to see it.”
It’s unclear as to whether or not Chris knew Jada has alopecia – but that comment
did not sit well with Will Smith at all.
So much so that he literally got on stage, walked up to Chris and slapped him across
the face before going back to his seat.
“oh wow!”
But, it didn’t stop there.
While Chris kept his composure, Will literally yelled from his seat to Chris and told him
to “keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth!”
Twice!
Will and Chris, we’re gonna let you finish this situation but Kanye West getting on stage
to interrupt Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs was actually the most shocking interruption
of all time.
And not gonna lie, the most heartbreaking to watch.
Ye’s passion for Beyonce’s ‘Single Ladies’ music video, Taylor’s face falling after
hearing what Ye had to say, Beyonce mouthing ‘oh no Kanye’ from the audience…It literally
had all the markings of a shocking moment to happen at an award show.
And like I said, heartbreaking too.
Thankfully though, B invited Taylor back up on stage.
After winning Video of the Year, Queen B shared her acceptance time with Tay to let her finish
her speech.
Now the Oscars are known to be the classy award show dedicated to film – maybe not
after what happened this year, but anyway – in 2017 there was a slight mixup when
it came to who won the Oscar for Best Picture that year.
That night, La La Land and Moonlight were basically nomination for nomination with both
films and their cast winning multiple awards.
However, when it came to the Best Picture category, Moonlight pulled off an incredible
victory in the craziest way possible.
After Warren Beatty opened the envelope, Faye Dunaway had a slight pause – which should
have been a red flag, to be honest – she read the winner as La La Land from the card.
As the film’s cast and producers hit the stage to accept their award and make speeches,
a little commotion broke out in the middle of it all and that’s when La La Land producer
Jordan Horowitz found out they actually didn’t win.
He then went back to the microphone to announce to the world,
“There’s been a mistake.
Moonlight, you guys won best picture.
This is not a joke.”
Apparently what had happened was Warren was given the best actress envelope by mistake
and now it makes sense as to why Faye was confused.
Anyway, the rightful winners accepted their award that night, however that mix-up was
honestly the weirdest ending to the Oscars.
Like, in the history of the Academy Awards.
And then of course there’s that moment in history where Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus
twerked on stage at the 2013 VMAs – I think it’s safe to say that’s definitely not
something anyone thought they’d see or even say back in 2013.
During the show, Miley and Robin teamed up to perform a medley of their songs together
and when they got to “Blurred Lines,” well, let’s just say the lines were definitely
blurred there, when Miley started twerking on Robin in nothing but a latex ‘bra and
panty’ set and a giant foam finger suggestively placed…well, you know where.
If that image finally left your brain after all these years…sorry we had to bring it
back up.
Once again, the Oscars are back with another wild moment that probably continues to haunt
John Travolta to this day whether he consciously thinks about it or not.
Back in 2014 when John had to introduce Idina Menzel to the stage, he set the scene by teeing
up Idina’s performance and went on to hype her up by saying,
“please welcome the wickedly talented, one and only, Adele Dazeem.”
Excuse me, who?
Anyway, that didn’t faze Idina too much since she went on to deliver an incredible
performance, but obviously once that moment happened Twitter exploded and from that moment
on, Idina as Adele Dazeem is all anyone can ever remember from that year’s show.
Seriously, the night of the 2022 Oscars this person tweeted, “No matter what happens
tonight, all I ask is that John Travolta keeps Adele Dazeem’s name in HIS fucking mouth.”
- I can’t…
It’s like what Jonah Hill famously said in Superbad…
“People don’t forget.”
Well, I guess the same can be said for all of these moments we mentioned.
