9. Jennifer Lawrence Falls On The Stairs (2013)
Jennifer Lawrence’s rise to the stage at the 2013 Academy Awards instantly became one of the most replayed moments in Oscars history. The actress had just been announced as Best Actress for Silver Linings Playbook when she attempted to walk up the stairs in her large Dior gown. Halfway up, she tripped and collapsed on the steps in front of the audience. The crowd immediately gasped before giving her a standing ovation as she recovered and continued toward the microphone.
Years later, Lawrence admitted the fall wiped her mind completely blank. The awkwardness did not end there. Moments later, during a backstage interview, Jack Nicholson suddenly stepped into the frame to congratulate her. Lawrence laughed nervously and joked about the interruption, but the whole sequence left viewers cringing at the star’s very human stumble on Hollywood’s biggest night.
