![]() Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis‘ back-and-forth fell flat.When Hathaway asked Franco if he was nervous as a best actor nominee, his first, he responded simply, “No, no.” After explaining the prestige of winning an Academy Award and having the honor of being known as an Academy Award winner to everyone, Franco acted confused: “Even my mom?” The banter continued on for a few minutes, but with Hathaway seemingly relaxed and Franco not so much, it garnered mixed reactions. Hathaway looked visibly excited, exclaiming, “Wow, you’re all real! This is actually happening,” to the crowd - or to herself. In a lengthy speech, he apologized to his fellow nominees, he cried a lot, he accidentally spit while talking (and acknowledged it), and he concluded by saying he hoped the Academy would invite him back.After the opening video, which featured Hathaway and Franco in scenes from the 10 best picture nominees, the co-hosts appeared onstage. Will then won the Best Actor award for his performance in King Richard-and as expected, his speech was all kinds of uncomfortable following his tense moment with Chris. From the silence of the audience and the look on Chris’s face, it def seems like the reaction was 100 percent unscripted. The joke apparently didn’t sit well with Will, who then took to the stage to slap Chris and tell him to “keep my wife’s name out of your f*cking mouth,” all of which was censored. While presenting an award, Chris Rock cracked a joke about Will Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith (who’s spoken openly about having a hair-loss condition), looking like the star of G.I. Yes, ofc we’ve gotta talk about THAT moment.

While Regina Hall’s COVID-19-themed bit (where she brought a handful of single male stars-such as Simu Liu and Timothée Chalamet-onstage for “random Covid testing,” even performing “Covid pat-downs” on Jason Momoa and Josh Brolin) got plenty of laughs, the joke didn’t land with everyone.

During her E! interview, Nicole alluded to the snub, saying, “All of the work we do is only possible because of the people behind the scenes.” Hmm…. However! The movie still didn’t get a ton of love from the Academy, as it earned only three nominations, all for acting…and Nicole made it clear she wasn’t super happy about it on the red carpet. It’s no secret that fans weren’t too thrilled by Nicole Kidman’s casting as Lucille Ball in Being the Ricardos, but the internet (mostly) got over it after seeing the finished product. Nicole Kidman throwing shade over the lack of noms for Being the Ricardos. Dreams really can come true-pretty fast too.” ![]() She even joked about the moment while presenting with Jacob Elordi, quipping, “And I never thought I would be here six days ago. Thankfully, after Rachel spoke up about it on social media, the Academy and Disney worked to rectify the situation, meaning Rachel ultimately got to attend her first Oscars. She’s filming Snow White for Disney in London right now, but still! West Side Story got a bunch of Oscar nominations, so it was all very weird. So this was definitely more WTF than funny, but Rachel Zegler, one of West Side Story’s main actors, just…didn’t get an Oscars invite. Rachel Zegler calling out the Academy for not sending her an invite. So many weird cutaways! So much stilted banter between presenters! So much awkwardness! Here are the most awkward moments to add to Oscars lore for years to come (including that viral Will Smith/Chris Rock moment). The 2022 Oscars has followed in this legacy by delivering a few hilarious, not-so-according-to-plan memories for the celebrities and audience alike. With any risky televised production, not everything always lands, but that’s part of the fun! This is the event that gifted the world Nicole Kidman’s alien clap and the La La Land/Moonlight mix-up, after all. As an awards show, the Oscars have delivered a lot of surprises throughout the years.
