Academy Awards Quiz

Academy Awards Quiz lovers often find joy in tiny moments from Oscar nights that go beyond the trophies. One such moment was in 1974 when a man named Robert Opel managed to run across the stage completely naked while David Niven was introducing Elizabeth Taylor. Niven calmly joked that the man was probably showing off his shortcomings, making the entire audience erupt with laughter. This moment stands out not because of who won what, but because it showed the unpredictable charm of live television.
