Streep, 79 at the time, went up to accept her fourth Oscar, only to instead say, “If I hit this sticky gnarr you all have to donate a million dollars to cancer research.” The room laughed at first, then gasped as the icon did, in fact, hit a kickflip off the stage and skate right out of the room. The moment was then made unforgettable when Hollywood hunk and gentlemen Bradley Cooper went row by row making sure everyone in attendance donated. The show’s broadcast ran five hours late that year.

4. Joe Biden Recreates Clint Eastwood Chair Video (2026)
In a weird, never-followed-up-on stunt, the former president aired a video where he critiqued an empty chair, representing Barack Obama, while maybe even endorsing Mitt Romney. When asked if he felt like the video was inspired by his own, Eastwood said, “Am I in the in memoriam this year?”
3. Crash Wins Best Picture, Again (2034)
We don’t have any idea what the Academy was thinking with this one. Even the film’s producers and director looked really uncomfortable accepting the award.

My wife is divorcing me. We begged them not to do this!”
