In case you miraculously missed it, last night the presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway mistakenly announced "La La Land" as the winner of Best Picture due to an envelope mix-up. The mistake was corrected and "Moonlight" was announced as the winner, but not before the "La La Land" cast and crew made it onstage to accept their (former) award. This isn't the only time mistakes have been made at awards shows, however, so here are the top 5 biggest mistakes and blunders we've seen in the past few years.
5. Jennifer Lawrence falls while on her way to accept her Oscar for Best Actress.
Jennifer Lawrence wasn't a nominee this year, but how could we forget the time she fell on her way to accept her Best Actress Oscar. Lawrence fell down, took a moment to collect herself, and walked up the stairs to the stage to accept her well-deserved award. She brushed it off though and was able to joke about it. This wasn't the only time she fell, though, Lawrence also took a tumble on the Oscars Red Carpet the next year as well. Maybe she decided to stay home this year and play it safe.
4. John Travolta's "Adele Dazeem."
Before Moana, Frozen was the Disney movie of the year and its main song, "Let It Go," was sang by Idina Menzel. Travolta was tasked with reading a teleprompter to introduce Menzel at the 2014 Oscars, yet somehow pronounced it "Adele Dazeem" (close right? well, no). Last year, Menzel got her chance to get Travolta back, and introduced him at the 2015 Oscars as "Glom Gazingo."
3. The wrong image was used in last night's "In Memoriam" tribute at the Oscars.
Today all everyone is talking about the mess-up that was the Best Picture announcement. Most people have overlooked the fact that the "In Memoriam" tribute contained a mistake as well. Janet Patterson, an Australian costume designer, was honored in the tribute but the image used was actually of Jan Chapman, a film producer who is alive and well. No one seemed to notice that the four-time Oscar-nominated costume designer's picture was a little...off.
2. Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the VMAs.
Ouch, who could forget about this one. Taylor Swift was awarded the Best Female Video in 2009 for "Young Belong With Me," but Kanye West didn't think it was deserving. He hopped onstage, took the microphone away and said, "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time." Poor T-Swizzle.
1. And of course, Steve Harvey's Miss Universe 2015 blunder.
This one isn't as funny as it is cringy. In case you live under a rock and missed it, Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia as the winner of the Miss Universe pageant. Miss Colombia was crowned and the award music began until Harvey walked onstage to correct himself. Miss Colombia hadn't won, but Miss Philippines did. Viewers cringed as Miss Universe presenters stripped Miss Colombia of her crown and flowers and handed them over to Miss Philippines.
