src=\"&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;\" charset=\"&quot;utf-8&quot;\"\/><p>The latest Oscar moment to dominate headlines came at <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/oscars-2022-winners-list-newsupdate\/&quot;\">this year\u2019s 94th Academy Awards<\/a>, when <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/movies\/will-smith-chris-rock-oscars-2022-newsupdate\/&quot;\">Will Smith slapped Chris Rock<\/a> across the face after the comic made a joke referring to his wife Jada Pinkett Smith\u2019s alopecia.<\/p>\n<p>Rock joked that she was preparing for a role in a fictional GI Jane sequel, as the military drama is remembered for starring Demi Moore with a shaved head.<\/p>\n<p>Pinkett Smith looked visibly unamused by the gag, with her husband storming onto the stage moments later to strike Rock, telling him: \u201cKeep my wife\u2019s name out your f**king mouth!\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>La La Land mistakenly announced as Best Picture<\/strong><\/h2>\n<iframe title=\"'&quot;Moonlight&quot;\" wins=\"\" best=\"\" picture=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GCQn_FkFElI?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>The competition for Best Picture at the 89th Academy Awards had become a two-horse race over preceding ceremonies, with romantic musical La La Land and hard-hitting drama Moonlight deemed the top contenders.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it was La La Land that was mistakenly announced as the winner by reunited Bonnie and Clyde stars Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty \u2013 but in a painfully awkward moment, it emerged that Moonlight was the true victor.<\/p>\n<p>The team behind La La Land graciously handed back their trophies, allowing the Moonlight cast and crew time to give some speeches before the ceremony came to a dramatic end.<\/p>\n<p>On the bright side, this moment definitively settled the long-held conspiracy theory that Marisa Tomei was given her 1992 award for My Cousin Vinny in error, as the Academy is clearly not too proud to \u2018fess up when mistakes are made.<\/p> <h2><strong>Ellen DeGeneres breaks Twitter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Ellen\" degeneres=\"\" takes=\"\" a=\"\" selfie=\"\" at=\"\" the=\"\" oscars=\"\"

autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>At the 86th Academy Awards, host Ellen DeGeneres took the record for most retweeted Twitter post of all-time, when she rounded up a group of famous actors for what she called the \u201cbest photo ever\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Among the stars featured in the legendary snap are Jennifer Lawrence, Lupita Nyong\u2019o, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper, the latter of whom being the one who took the photo.<\/p>\n<p>This remained the most-shared tweet of all time until 2017, when it was surpassed by a man named Carter Wilkerson\u2019s attempt to get a year\u2019s supply of free chicken nuggets from US fast food chain Wendy\u2019s. Seriously.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>John Travolta misnames Idina Menzel<\/strong><\/h2>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;John\" travolta=\"\" oscar=\"\" flub=\"\" has=\"\" a=\"\" silver=\"\" lining=\"\" conan=\"\"

allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>Another memorable moment from the 86th Academy Awards came as Broadway star and Frozen singer Idina Menzel prepared to belt out a rendition of Let It Go.<\/p>\n<p>Few people remember the performance as much as what came before it, when actor John Travolta introduced her as \u201cthe wickedly talented, one and only Adele Dazeem\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If that wasn\u2019t awkward enough, Menzel would be fielding questions about the incident for months to come, before later getting her own back in a skit the following year.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jennifer Lawrence falls<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\"

her performance in 2013\u2019s Silver Linings Playbook was undoubtedly brilliant, what really got the crowd in the room on her side was an unfortunate stumble up the steps to the stage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell and that\u2019s really embarrassing, but thank you,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Adrien Brody kisses Halle

expressed his gratitude in a most unexpected way.<\/p>\n<p>He approached Halle Berry on the stage, who was presenting the award, and gave her a long, passionate kiss, which is rather odd considering that he barely knew her.<\/p>\n<p>Even in a pre-#MeToo era, it came across as a highly uncomfortable moment, particularly as Berry went on to explain that the gesture was a complete surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just f**king went with it,\u201d she told Andy Cohen in 2017. \u201cI don\u2019t know [if it was good].
