From Angelina Jolie kissing her brother to Björk’s swan outfit, the Academy Awards season never disappoints when it comes to viral moments. Access Hollywood is diving into the most unfiltered and unforgettable Oscars night events in history.
The first stop brings us back to 2022. Will Smith’s infamous “slap heard around the world” came after Chris Rock made a joke about Smith’s wife, Jada, onstage. While the joke seemed lighthearted at first, things turned sour when the camera spotted Jada’s stone-cold expression.
Flashback to 2003, Best Actor winner Adrian Brody kissed presenter Halle Berry without her consent, leaving viewers stunned. The actress later revealed that she was caught completely off guard at the time but just went with it.
We're now skipping over to 2013 when Jennifer Lawrence took a graceful tumble while going up the stairs to accept her Best Actress award. As she recovered, she was greeted by a standing ovation and started her witty speech with, “You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell and that’s really embarrassing.”
Finally, one of the most unforgettable moments in Oscars history was the mortifying "La La Land" and "Moonlight" Best Picture mix-up. Emma Stone’s Best Actress card for "La La Land" was mistakenly announced as the Best Picture winner, resulting in the jaw-dropping turn of events.
