This year at the Academy Awards a few of the ever so graceful actors and actresses of Hollywood made some mistakes on stage. We always see A-list celebrities looking beautiful, composed and put together. But some of the biggest names in Hollywood embarrassed themselves and made their publicists jobs a little bit harder. In an article from the Telegraph I read a breakdown of the worst mistakes made of the night.
Zac Efron is a young actor who is trying to breakaway from his High School Musical years. He proved to still be a little young and niece when he described best song nominee Karen O as an “aspiration,” instead of saying an inspiration. The misuse of words won’t help him achieve the grown up image that he aspires for.
History has proven Kim Novak has been a wild card during the Oscars, yet she returns. Previously she has accused the makers of The Artist of “rape.” While presenting with Matthew McConaughey she struggled to use the microphone and had a creepy smile across her face. Once McConaughey assisted her with finding the microphone she preceded to talk over him and seemed completely out of it. Maybe this should be her last Oscar’s appearance.
12 Years a Slave won best motion picture this year. This was a movie that moved people and was described by many as “difficult to watch” due to its intense content. When Goldie Hawn announced the title she was very chipper and enthusiastic, which was perceived as odd by many. While Harrison Ford was the opposite, his tone was subdued and quit grim. We only saw him perk up when Ellen DeGeneres was handing out pizza to the audience.
My favorite mishap of the night was John Travolta mispronunciation of Idina Menzel’s name. To be fair her name isn’t the easiest to pronounce but there is a teleprompter and rehearsals that should have enabled him to pronounce her name properly. This is on live television viewed by millions; Travolta should have been able to say her name flawlessly. Instead he said her name as “Adele Dazeem.” Buzzfeed even generated a joke where you can type your name in and see how John Travolta would have pronounced it at the Oscars.
