Streaking Incident
The 46th Academy Awards ceremony is perhaps best remembered as the ceremony in which a streaker named Robert Opel ran across the stage naked while flashing a peace sign with his hand. In response, host David Niven jokingly quipped, "The only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping... and showing his shortcomings." In 2001, this incident was voted as the most memorable Oscar moment in history, coming in first over Marlon Brando's infamous 1972 boycott of the 45th Academy Awards, in which he sent Sacheen Littlefeather to explain why he would not be coming to collect his Oscar for The Godfather.
