Yep. Speaking as someone with autism I've spent my life being mocked and derided for my awkwardness. Low-hanging fruit. Whether or not Joaquin is on the spectrum, he is awkward and that's not his fault. Many people gravitate towards acting to overcome social awkwardness, and without a script and director they're flummoxed.

Another thing that causes the whole "Jack Palance saying the wrong name when announcing Marisa Tomei" to not make sense: as we saw with the whole La La Land/Moonlight fiasco, if Palance had read the wrong name, someone would've gone onstage and announced that it was a mistake. And the fact that we didn't get a Steve Harvey Miss Colombia Vs. Miss Philippines moment, kinda proves that Tomei did, in fact, win it.

[@missdeejay]

1. Madonna can say anything she wants, and in the way she wants it. She was obviously ahead of her time, and knew we were gonna get tired of listening to "My Heart Will Go On" in the airwaves over and over and over again. Celine Dion has much better songs than that one (which, is not a bad song), but, of course, "My Heart Will Go On" was shoved down our ears as a marketing maneuver. 2. Meryl Streep does open the envelope. When she hugs Daniel Day-Lewis as he walks up to the center of the stage, you can clearly see the card, and she's holding both the card and the envelope with one hand. 3. You forget that when Joaquin Phoenix presented that Oscar, it was 2021, and we were in the MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC! No one wanted to be there, there was no vaccine yet, and people were wary of each other. 4. Many of the moments you're criticizing involves elderly actors presenting awards. You say "Warren Beaty should've said this...", but you forget, not only is that moment really awkward, but Warren's thought processing is probably not the same as it was 10, 20, or 30 years ago. It's not only a big deal for them to be standing up in front of Hollywood's best, but it is also a huge effort they're physically and mentally making to be there. It doesn't take away the fact that it was a bad moment, but, don't expect elderly people to say what you're thinking.

[@Dennisanyone-]

Exactly regarding Phoenix. They managed to get all four acting winners back from the previous year, yet he gripes about it.

[@brentandrew2419]

Good point about Warren- I guess he can't act like a human being because Moonlight was such a wonderful, special, important movie and he needed to be superhuman in the moment.

To include the announcement of Catherine Zeta-Jones just because Brian guesses Kathy Bates may perhaps, for some reason, for a fracture of a second have believed she might have won is far-fetched. I found it very sweet of him how he just said "Catherine" when he announced his former co-star with whom he obviously got along very well. Her response towards him also was very warm. I think that Kathy Bates glanced over to Catherine Zeta-Jones because she wanted to see her reaction. Zeta-Jones was the frontrunner an her win no surprise at all.

The Kathy/Catherine thing reminds me of at the 2002 Daytime Emmy Awards when two ladies named Susan (Lucci, Flannery) were nominated for Lead Actress. Flannery won but the presenters only said "Susan!!!!" and they played the wrong theme music so people thought Lucci won. It was a very embarrasing moment for daytime Emmy.

[@86am]

I thought of the same moment. I believe that Flannery's costars did say her last name, but the crew backstage insisted that Lucci (who was backstage) walk out. Lucci even mouthed "Susan Flannery?"

[@RhaegarTargaryen1st]

I remember that. The confusion stems from the presenter, Adrienne Frantz, and her shrill shrieking excitement over Susan Flannery (a castmate and real-life friend) winning. She said the full name but was literally shrieking it so you couldn't understand. The soap press took her to task for causing the confusion and "humiliating" Susan Lucci.

[@dhenderson1810]

It wasn't Joaquin's fault. The Oscars should never have been done that year. We were deep into COVID 19 and there were so many restrictions they should have just had a closed ceremony and no presentation. It seemed like they just did it for the sake of doing it. Secondly, the whole having "Best Actor" last was bullshit. This was a week after Black Lives Matters was in the news. The whole Oscars that year was a virtue signalling exercise and pushing for Bosman to win was a woke attempt to appease blacks, and I am glad it blew up in their faces. "Best Picture" should always be the last award presented each year.

Another fantastic video! Never heard about that Will Rogers Oscar moment but to be honest it's kind of hilarious.

[@westaussie965]

Why didn’t you let us listen to this “awkwardness” 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6:01

[@VTMCompany]

At the 1970 Oscar ceremonies, Barbra Streisand plays coy after opening the Best Actor envelope. She says, "I'm not gonna tell ya." (Then the winner's name, John Wayne.)

[@victorr.aguiarr]

Sean Penn is the worst announcer ever. He never cares to create a climax, it always seems like he's bored.

[@Kriseaston101]

Or drunk

[@dhenderson1810]

He only gets excited if he gets to make a political statement.

[@anthonyruiz3701]

Holy crap....what a terrible idea for a video. let's look at teeny tiny things and amplify them. Jack Palance didn't read the name fast enough!! OMG! What a crime. Meryl didn't open the envelope on camera. How terrible! Good grief. Why is so much of this channel "the worst this" and "the worst that"?

[@siyuwoaini]

This channel desperately needs Meryl Streep to earn click count 😂😂😂

[@SUK2293]

But this one puts Meryl in a bad light... I'm heartbroken.

[@alediaz3245]

One of the worst winner announcements in my opinion is when Denzel said “by a nose!” To Nicole Kidman. He was probably trying to make a joke but it has the connotation that she won because of her prosthetic and not her acting. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@LucyLioness100]

Given Nicholson made fun of her prosthetic nose at the GGs (high on Valium kind you), it’s not shocking that Denzel was gonna make a joke; you can see though he was happy for her win

[@AtlasBlizzard]

That annoyed me too, glad to see others have had the same thought. Felt a bit tasteless.

[@BroadwayGuy]

I never noticed Streep didn't even open the envelope! She's an egocentric snob who is her own biggest fan. For the record, I'm furious when Streep herself wins any award.

[@t221000]

I like her acting but she truly is a snob with a massive ego

[@siyuwoaini]

@@BroadwayGuy She must have opened the envelope while the nominees were being read.

[@barbraseville8984]

Are you ok? Need a safe space?

[@brentandrew2419]

Yeah I hate her too. Why did she not open it? Did she really need to rub it in that these things are rigged?

[@kristopher1799]

I'm furious too regarding her past wins. Even to hear she's been nominated AGAIN infuriates me. I've obviously never been a fan.

[@nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn618]

I thought you'd also mention that Jack Palance mistakenly called Judy Davis English in his pre-reveal banter as part of a joke about the nominees' national backgrounds. Cringe!

[@uhf7618x]

Surprised Bette Davis in 1987 wasn't mentioned. The Oscars page doesn't even list it

[@TonyLeadholm]

This reminds me of the Daytime Emmys when they announced Susan Flannery as the winner, but the award show Directing team played the All My Children music and the camera went to Susan LUCCI backstage who starts walking out as if she just won her 2nd Emmy. Only to realize her name was never called. Shame on the Daytime Emmys for that one. Just awful.

[@miguelsantos-cd9tu]

13:14 You find Al Pacino's i see Oppenheimer, amusing?

[@hannahmandryk8645]

When the Adele Dazeem thing happened, my dad honestly and completely sincerely thought that this was how Idina Menzel was pronounced. We'd only ever seen the name written out and he legitimately tried to argue with my sister and I that this was how her name was pronounced.

[@richardherdman2121]

Great anecdote, so funny. And a good (harmless) example of how misinformation can become rampant in the age of social media. But I digress...

[@LucyLioness100]

At least Idina got to clap back to make fun of it all. Least she was a good sport

[@vincentcadena7651]

I think the academy leadership should have gotten together on a call and declared Smith ineligible due to assaulting a presenter and gone with the runner up ie the actor with the second most votes. Then they award him and it’s pretty sucky to see people standing and applauding.

[@classicmovielover4056]

They showed clips from each Best Picture nominee so it was only fitting they announce the winner just like Best Original Song. Pacino did nothing wrong.

[@ultraviolettas]

Has this become a Jack Palance hate channel? 😭😭😭

[@barbraseville8984]

I was rooting for the LAPD when Wilma Smith won.

[@b.m...]

I completely agree with you when you talked about the cast of Pulp Fiction. Hollywood is a bunch of people with no backbone who are so afraid to maintain their image that they would give a standing ovation to a terrible person who just assaulted someone. They're all sick, in my opinion.

[@mitsukai7192]

I remember the Adele Dazeem incident spawning an internet generator where you could "Travoltafy Your Name" 😂

[@Dave-hp7gd]

I would have included the 6th ceremony as well but for a different reason. Will Rogers invited Best Actress nominees May Robson and Diana Wynyard onstage, congratulated them for their "sparkling performances," probably leading everyone to think that there was a tie (there was the year before for Best Actor). He then announced the winner as. . . Katherine Hepburn. Ouch. I bet that stung. You make a great list, but this should have been near the top.

[@dhenderson1810]

I assume Will Rogers never hosted again.
