Less than a week before Jimmy Kimmel returns to host the Academy Awards on March 12, some of the wildest and most unexpected moments in awards history can be revisited.

12. Cher in a transparent dress (1988)

Björk wore her swan dress to the 2001 awards, and Celine Dion wore a back-to-front white tuxedo and diamond-studded sunglasses in 1999. All stars want to stand out and draw attention to their outfits...or lack of them. Cher's bare, jewel-encrusted dress may have been her most daring outfit yet. In it, she won the award for best actress in the film "Power of the Moon."

11. John Travolta and the name of Idina Menzel (2014)

John Travolta mispronounced singer Idina Menzel's name when he invited her onto the ceremony stage to perform the hit Let It Go from the animated film Frozen. The actor took the stage to give a speech and invite the performer, but when it came to saying her name, he pronounced her name as "Adele Dazeem."

10. Chris Rock and the impassioned opening monologue (2016)

The stand-up comedian performed at the Oscars amid outrage over the second year of #OscarsSoWhite. The scandal arose from the lack of diversity among the current nominees and stars such as Smith and Pinkett Smith, who boycotted the ceremony because of it. “Jada boycotting the Oscars is the same as me boycotting Rihanna's panties. Nobody invited me there,” the comedian said about Will Smith’s wife, who ignored the ceremony.

9. Rob Lowe opens the show with a strange duet (1989)

The actor was endlessly ridiculed for his part in that gruesome opening number, in which he performed a duet with Eileen Bowman. Stars including Paul Newman and Julie Andrews called the 10-minute number disastrous in an open letter, and Disney filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the Academy for Bowman's use of the Snow White character.

8. Angelina Jolie and her declaration of love to her older brother (2000)

After receiving the Best Supporting Actress award for Girl, Interrupted, Jolie awkwardly thanked her older brother James Haven. In her speech, Jolie confessed her love to her brother, only the confession was not entirely sisterly. Angelina said she was in love with her brother. And on the red carpet that evening, they kissed and behaved like a couple in love.

7. Naked performance (1974)

Shortly before Elizabeth Taylor was due to announce Best Picture, gay rights activist Robert Opel stripped naked and ran across the stage behind Oscars co-host David Niven. It is surprising that he was not only not arrested for this trick, but was not even kicked out of the prize. Opel himself then said that people should not be ashamed to appear naked in public. It's also a great way to start a career, he added.

6. Marlon Brando refused to accept his Oscar (1973)

Instead of taking the stage and winning the Best Actor award for The Godfather, Brando sent Native American activist Sachin Littlefeather to protest the misrepresentation of American Indians in Hollywood. This is one of the first times actors have taken to political agendas during their Oscar performances, with Patricia Arquette pointing out the pay gap and Leonardo DiCaprio talking about climate change in recent years.

5. Adrien Brody unexpectedly kisses Halle Berry (2003)

In light of the sexual harassment allegations that have rocked Hollywood in recent years, it has become even more embarrassing to watch Brody ask Berry out for a long, awkward kiss as he climbs onto the stage to accept the Best Actor award for The Pianist. The unplanned kiss came just a year after Berry became the first black woman to win Best Actress.

4. Marisa Tomei and Best Supporting Actress (1993)

After Tomei won the statuette for her role in My Cousin Vinnie, conspiracy theories began to circulate in entertainment publications that host Jack Palance could not read the winner's card and called the last name from the teleprompter. At the same time, such venerable actresses as Vanessa Redgrave and Judi Dench claimed the statuette with her. Information began to appear that Tomei received the prize by mistake, reports RBC. In particular, such authoritative publications as The Hollywood Reporter and Entertainment Weekly wrote about this.

According to one version, the name of Tomei was mistakenly given by the actor Jack Palance who presented the award. However, another possible reason was also discussed. Marisa Tomei was the only American among three Britons and one Australian. Be that as it may, representatives of the American Film Academy denied any version of the error. Footage from the ceremony shows Palance reading a postcard.

3. Disappointment with "Brokeback Mountain" (2006)

If you were to conduct a survey of "What is the worst movie that won an Oscar in the central category?", the most popular answer would undoubtedly be "Crash". Even after so many years, it does not fit in my head how such a flat and one-dimensional drama, clumsily manipulating the themes of racism and the clash of different cultures, could bypass the then unconditional favorite - "Brokeback Mountain" by Ang Lee, reports LF.

2 La La Land Wrongly Awarded Best Picture Due To Infamous Envelope Confusion (2017)

"An error has occurred". Those 2 words changed the course of Oscars history in 2017 when, 2,5 minutes after La La Land's performance, producer Jordan Horowitz told the audience that Moonlight had indeed won. The incredible gaffe was the result of a mix-up by accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, which mistakenly handed hosts Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty an envelope from the wrong category.

1. Will Smith slaps Chris Rock (2022)

Introducing the nominees for the Best Documentary category, Chris Rock fails joked over the hairstyle of Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of Will Smith, who suffers from alopecia (abnormal hair loss). Smith then went up on stage and slapped the host, saying never to mention his wife's name again.

"Keep my wife's name out of your fucking mouth," Smith exclaimed from his seat. Twice.
