Oscar's-Worst-Moments

During the movie industry's biggest night, there's bound to be a few mishaps.  

But these moments are well beyond the realm of the occasional ugly dress or boring speech.

These are annoying and some just plain awful bits of Oscar television. 

From pretentious political statements (Marlon Brando) to creepy declarations of love (Angelina Jolie), we countdown 12 of the worst moments that have occurred on Oscar night. 

Be prepared to see some great stars participate in some strange, dumb and awkward public displays. 

Sacheen Littlefeather refuses Marlon Brando's Oscar (1973)

When Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar for "The Godfather," the iconic actor was not at the ceremony to graciously accept his award.

Instead a young woman dressed in Native American garb came up onstage and refused to take the Oscar from presenter Roger Moore (aka James Bond).

The woman who went by the name Sacheen Littlefeather (but was really an actress named Maria Cruz) said Brando would not accepting his trophy due to the unfair and immoral treatment of Native Americans by those in Hollywood. 

Check out the non-acceptance speech, complete with boos from the audience. 



Three random actors channel "Guys and Dolls" (1987)

The Oscars love their musical numbers. But with this particular "showstopper" the pairing of stars and the song were too awkward to be entertaining. 

Producers paired "Karate Kid" star Pat Morita with "Kojak" actor Telly Savalas and "The History of the World Part I" co-star Dom Deluise to sing the "Fugue for Tinhorns" from the American musical "Guys and Dolls." 

Everyone was confused and no one was all that entertained. 



Rob Lowe Sings And Dances With Snow White (1989)

It's a wonder the Oscars still have musical performances after this debacle. 

For some strange reason, the producers of the show thought audiences would enjoy watching Brat Pack-er Rob Lowe sing and dance around the stage awkwardly with Snow White. 

No one did.
