Oscars' Shocking Moments: Envelope Mix-ups & Slapped Hosts

In a shocking turn of events, the 2017 Academy Awards saw Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announce La La Land as Best Picture winner, only for Moonlight to be revealed as the actual recipient due to a mix-up. Fast forward to 2022, Will Smith slapped host Chris Rock after a joke about his wifes bald head, leading to Smiths resignation and a ten-year ban. These incidents highlight the unpredictability of live TV and the power of protest, as seen in Marlon Brandos 1973 snub and Sacheen Littlefeathers decline of his Best Actor win.
