Oscar
From streakers to batty Bjork\'s strangled swan, the Oscars have never been short of surprises. We take a look at some of the bad, sad and frankly mad moments from the world\'s most watched awards event...
Paltrow\'s poor performance (1998)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Gwyneth Paltrow
Before Gwyneth bored the world with her macrobiotic mutterings, she had humiliated herself at the Oscars. First her Grace Kelly copycat frock made her look more emaciated than elegant. Then she stunned the star audience with an over egged Best Actress acceptance speech for \'Shakespeare in Love\'. She cried, we cringed
Penn defends Jude Law (2005)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Sean Penn
Sean Penn failed to see the funny side when Oscar host Chris Rock took a pop at the Brit actor. \'Who is Jude Law?\' joked Rock. \'Why is he in every movie I have seen in the last four years? Even if he\'s not acting in it, if you look at the credits he makes the cupcakes or something.\' Penn strode on stage and had a strop: \'Forgive my lack of humour... Jude Law is one of our most talented actors\'
Field\'s fawning speech (1984)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Sally Field
Sally Field couldn\'t contain her gratitude at landing a second Oscar for her performance in \'Places in the Heart\'. \'The first time I didn\'t feel it, but this time I feel it,\' she gushed, \'and I can\'t deny the fact that you like me, right now, you really like me!\' Her career never recovered

Favourite Oscar Moments - Tom Hanks
When Tom Hanks won the Best Actor Oscar for \'Philadelphia\' he announced to the world that his high school teacher was one of the \'finest gay Americans...that I had the good fortune to be associated with\'. Unfortunately his former tutor hadn\'t actually come out. The faux pas went on to inspire the Kevin Kline comedy \'In & Out\'.
Rob Lowe\'s Disney duet (1989)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Rob Lowe
What do you produce when you pair Snow White with a star recovering from a sex scandal in a duet? One of the worst opening acts in Oscar history. Disney were so shocked they sued for the unauthorised use of their character
Cameron the king? (1997)
film awards,celebrity,Film
Favourite Oscar Moments - James Cameron
James Cameron started to believe the hype when he landed the Best Director award for \'Titanic\'. Raising his arms on the podium he repeated Leonardo\'s line from the film and declared: \'I\'m king of the world\'. Cue stunned silence and several people hoping he\'d get hit by an iceberg
Cuba has too much love (1997)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Cuba Gooding Jr
Cuba Gooding Jr couldn\'t conceal his delight when he won Best Supporting Actor for \'Jerry Maguire\'. He declared his love for co-star Tom Cruise, director Cameron Crowe and the film\'s producer. But he wasn\'t even that choosy. \'Everybody who\'s involved with this, I love you,\' he shouted before being practically dragged off the stage
Joaquin\'s dancing disaster (1998)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Joaquin Cortes
Getting dancers to \'interpret\' songs for each of the best original score nominations was always going to be a hit and miss affair. But no one was prepared for Joaquin Cortes flamenco-ing his way around the stage to the music from \'Saving Private Ryan\'
David Niven\'s streaker (1973)
nudity,celebrity,Film
Favourite Oscar Moments - David Niven
When a nude streaker bolted across the stage flashing a peace sign, presenter Niven had the perfect riposte. \'Well, ladies and gentlemen,\' he remarked, \'that was bound to happen. But isn\'t it fascinating to think that the only laugh that man will probably ever get in his life was when he stripped off to show his shortcomings\'
George C Scott says, \'No\' (1970)
celebrity,Film,celebrities behaving badly
Favourite Oscar Moments - George C Scott
Legendary performer Scott made no secret of the fact he saw the Oscars as \'a two-hour meat parade\'. So when he won best actor for his role in \'Patton\' he was at home in New York watching a hockey game on TV. He went down in Oscar history as the first star to refuse an Academy Award. He wouldn\'t be the last
Parker and Stone dress in drag (2000)
Film,Comedy,celebrities behaving badly
Favourite Oscar Moments - Trey Parker and Matt Stone
The \'South Park\' animators decided to dress up as Oscar favourites J-Lo and Gwyneth Paltrow for their trip to the awards. Needless to say the real stars were not impressed
Benigni\'s bonkers speech (1999)
Europe,celebrity,Film,celebrities behaving badly
Favourite Oscar Moments - Roberto Benigni
The diminutive Italian star was so excited at bagging the Best Actor Oscar for his role in \'Life is Beautiful\' that he clambered over an embarrassed looking Steven Spielberg. \'My body is in tumult because it is a colossal moment of joy ... I would like to be Jupiter and kidnap everybody and lie down making love to everybody because I don\'t know how to express. It\'s a question of love,\' were his crazed comments when he finally got to the mike
Jack Palance\'s push-ups (1992)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Sacheen Littlefeather
Bad boy Marlon Brando caused a stir when he sent a B movie actress dressed as a native American to decline his Best Actor Oscar for \'The Godfather\'. The move was supposed to highlight the film industry\'s negative portrayal of native Americans. But only a few applauded
Halle Berry blubbing (2002)
Halle Berry,celebrity,Film,celebrity news
Favourite Oscar Moments - Halle Berry
Berry was clearly bowled over by her Best Actress Oscar for \'Monster\'s Ball\'. \'This moment is so much bigger than me,\' revealed the star. \'It\'s for every nameless, faceless woman of colour that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened. I am so honoured and thank the Academy for choosing me to be the vessel from which this blessing might flow\'. Sometimes less is more
Brody snogs Berry (2003)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Adrien Brody
Adrien Brody snogged award presenter Berry to within an inch of her life when he collected his Best Actor gong for \'The Pianist\'. He later admitted a photo of his parents in a passionate, back-bending embrace inspired him. Some things should be kept in the family
Cher\'s shocking frocks
Kylie Minogue,celebrity style,music,Film
favourite Oscar Moments - Cher
Cher dominated the Oscar red carpet in the \'80s with a series of shocking frocks. Her 1986 effort makes Kylie\'s showgirl togs look low key. With too many actresses playing the conservative clothing card, it\'s lovely to see someone throwing caution and taste to the wind
Redgrave\'s rant (1978)
celebrity,Film
Favourite Oscar Moments - Vanessa Redgrave
Redgrave let rip about the treatment of the Palestinians when she collected her Best Supporting Actress award for \'Julia\'. The politically aware star warned the stunned audience not \'to be intimidated by the threats of a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums whose behaviour is an insult to the stature of Jews all over the world\'. Screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky summed up what everyone else was thinking: \'A simple "thank you" would have sufficed\'
Bjork\'s feathered friend (2001)

Favourite Oscar Moments - Bjork
Sartorially insane singer Bjork caused a near riot on the red carpet when she decided to sport what looked liked a strangled swan to the awards event
