From Will Smith-Chris Rock’s Slap Incident To Adrien-Halle's Kiss, Here’s A Look At Oscars Most Controversial Moments: In Pics

Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is one of the most scandalous events of Oscars 2023. He had cracked a joke on his wife Jada's alopecia condition which did not go well with Will Smith.

In 2003, Adrien Brody won the Best Actor award for his role in The Pianist, and he celebrated by grabbing presenter Halle Berry and kissing her on stage.

One of the most controversial moments in Oscar history occurred at the 89th Academy Awards when the Best Picture announcement was announced wrongly. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty announced La La Land as the winner, but midway through the acceptance speeches, it was revealed that Moonlight was actually the winner. 

The 61st Academy Awards ceremony was opened with a musical number featuring Rob Lowe and Snow White but it was widely critised by celebs and critics alike as the worst.

When Marlon Brando won the Best Actor award for his role in The Godfather in 1973, he refused to accept it in person. Instead, he sent a Native American activist to make a statement about the oppression of Native Americans.

At the 78th Academy Awards, the film Crash defeated Brokeback Mountain for Best Picture Award. This upset everyone as the Oscars did not recognise a pathbreaking LGBT film like Brokeback Mountain.
