The slap Will Smith threw at Chris Rock at the Oscars ceremony last night shook the audience. Before this event, other sequences, less violent, marked the ceremony.
This is the event that marked the evening, almost eclipsing the rest, the Oscars for Coda, or that for Jessica Chastain. Will Smith violently slapped Chris Rock in the middle of a sketch, after a joke about the shaved head of his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

The gesture shocked the audience and the sequence obviously went viral on social networks. If this scene is the most violent that the Oscars have known, other incidents have marked the history of the ceremony.

Adrien Brody's stolen kiss in 2003
Thus, in 2003, Adrien Brody, who came to get his Oscar, went too far. When he took the stage to receive his award from Halle Berry, winner of the previous year's Oscar for Best Actress, Adrien Brody took everyone by surprise, including the actress, by l suddenly embracing for a brief but passionate kiss on the mouth.

"It wasn't planned. I didn't know anything about it," Halle Berry explained in 2017, confirming that, under the effect of surprise, she had decided "to accompany the movement". His expression after the famous kiss, says a lot about his consent.

For his part, Adrien Brody had said that "time had slowed down" for him at this moment but that his momentum had almost deprived him of speech. "When I finished kissing her...they had already lit the sign to say 'leave the stage, your time is up'," he told the Toronto Film Festival.

A naked man crosses the stage, in 1974
No one could react to this "disruption" with more humor than David Niven. While the actor was preparing to welcome Elizabeth Taylor on stage, to present the Oscar for best film, photographer Robert Opel crossed the stage in the simplest device.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, it was bound to happen. But isn't it fascinating to think that this man will have garnered the only laughs of his life, stripping down and showing his flaws," the actor quipped. the Pink Panther in front of a hilarious room.

A political refusal in 1973
In March 1973, Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar for his impressive performance in The Godfather, beating competitors like Michael Caine, Peter O'Toole and Laurence Olivier.
But Brando shunned the awards show and it was Apache actress Sacheen Littlefeather, a Native American rights activist, who took the stage in her place.

She had refused with a wave of the hand the statuette offered to her by actor Roger Moore and had spoken in front of a dumbfounded audience, explaining that Marlon Brando "deeply regretted not being able to accept this very generous prize" because he wanted to protesting the way he believed the movie industry treated Native American actors.

This statement was greeted with applause and shouts of joy, as well as boos from a few bad sleepers.

The Gate envelope in 2017
The most striking episode in the recent history of the Oscars took place in 2017, when the supreme award for "best feature film" was awarded. The prestigious golden statuette went briefly to the glittery comedy La La Land while its much more serious drama competitor Moonlight was the real winner.
The experts from the company PricewaterhouseCoopers, responsible for recording and keeping the votes of the Academy, had simply given the presenters, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, the wrong envelope...

The one that was read in front of millions of viewers was a duplicate of the Best Actress award, which actually went to Emma Stone for her role in La La Land.
