TINE FEY TO ANNE HATHAWAY AT THE 2013 GOLDEN GLOBES:

"Anne Hathaway, you gave a stunning performance in Les Misérables. I haven't seen you so totally alone and abandoned like that since you were onstage with James Franco at the Oscars."

What about Hattie McDaniel’s wardrobe malfunction back in 1940 ?

I found it interesting to note that every one of the “ 10 awful moments in Academy Awards history” happened in 1970 and later. The most coming since 2000. Prior to 1970 Hollywood, like the rest of America had at least some class and breeding. I think it corresponds with the decline and fall of America. Our decline started with the maturity of the Worst Generation, the children of the the Greatest Generation.

10. Cringeworthy.
9. Entertaining.
8. Hilarious!
7. Yeah, pretty silly considering hadn't he recently gotten busted banging a 16-year old (and filming it)?
6. It was great watching him get booed.
5. In 1997, he was King of the World.
4. Not awful. I always appreciated it when crazy, off-the-wall, unexpected events happened to take the boredom away from the show and give us something to talk about the next day.
3. See number 4. The stars are too well-behaved and conformist these days.
2. Yeah, this was pretty uncomfortable.
1. Wrong. The number One most awful Oscar moment was watching Dances with Wolves beat out Goodfellas for 1991's Best Picture.

In 2012, Sacha Baron Cohen turned up at the Academy Awards dressed as his movie character “The Dictator” and dumped gray “ashes” on everyone’s favorite red carpet host Ryan Seacrest. The “American Idol” host handled the ambush like a pro and quickly returned to his red carpet interviews.

Seacrest can be insufferably smug and smarmy at time, but the man is a pro at keeping the show moving at the right pace.

Palance pushups were great actually

[T-Bird45]

#9 - Better than the push-ups was his line for host and film co-star Billy Crystal: “I crap bigger than you!”

[Mad Dawgg]

C.J.: They sent me two turkeys. The most photo-friendly of the two gets a Presidential pardon and a full life at a children's zoo. The runner-up gets eaten.

Bartlet: If the Oscars were like that, I'd watch.

[drbuzzard]

I find it odd that they left out the moment that guaranteed that I would never watch the awards again. It was back when tom Hanks got an awards for Philadelphia and went on a long tirade about how AIDS was the fault of the Reagan administration and that we didn’t do enough AIDS research, and rambled on a bunch of absolute BS.

Hell, I have trouble even watching a Hanks movie anymore. Last one I saw was probably Saving Private Ryan, and that was underwhelming.

Niven’s famous line over the streaker was “Well, ladies and gentlemen, that was almost bound to happen... But isn’t it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?”

most folks think Jack Haley Jr instigated it on purpose for that now legendary line

I remember it well

Hope or Carson...there is no substitute

[dfwgator]

Worst moments...every time Whoopi Goldberg hosted it.

[FatherofFive]

I saw clips of the Jack Palance and David Niven things.

But I am glad that I don't have a clue about the other events. I boycott Hollywood and the Media. If it wasn't for Rush and Levin, I wouldn't know Chris Matthews or Piers Morgan existed.

[Gay State Conservative]

I’m of the opinion that about 0.002% of the “legitimate” films made in Hollywood in the last 70 years are even worth a bucket of warm spit.I don’t give a rat’s hindquarters what happens at the Oscars...never have,never will.

[Bullish]

What? No mention of when David Letterman hosted and totally made an ass out of himself?

[Sgt_Schultze]

I thought the worst was when Halle Berry won for best actress and praised the groundbreaking moment. The membership erupted in self congratulation while not realizing it was themselves who had never nominated or awarded an oscar to a black female for best actress. Normal Americans never had a vote, only the membership of the academy had that privilege.

[SeminoleCounty]

Wha......I thought worst moment was Ellen Page losing Best Actress to Marion Cotillard in 2007? Shocked, I must say! /mostly sarc

[D_Idaho]

Interesting list. However, for me, the most cringe-worthy Oscar moment was watching the arrogant, commie-loving assh*le Coen brothers and that she-clown Frances McDormand, sitting on their hands when Elia Kazan was given a Lifetime Achievement award. Elia Kazan!! Could anyone in the audience that night compare their body of work to him?

[lurk]

People watch the Oscars these days?

9. Jack Palance shows us he can do push ups -- Jack Palance had already showed the world he was the best supporting actor out there in 1992, so he decided to show off his strength when he took the Oscars stage to accept the award. He used his time in the spotlight to show he could do a one-armed push up...in fact he did several. The actor then continued with a strange, rambling speech.

Why awful? It was silly, but not terrible, and not really so very strange for Hollywood.

Just another odd moment out of many off-kilter Oscar moments.

Jack Palance probably wasn't really the Best Supporting Actor that year either, but let that go, too.

Cameron's "King of the World" speech?

Silly, but ... well just silly and nothing more.

Hillary Swank forgetting to thank her husband (or wife or whatever) ... that was terrible.
