Awards ceremonies are sometimes the scene of spectacular blunders. Thus, we remember Vanessa Paradis’ unfortunate gaffe with Caesars or, arguably, the most incredible mistake of the 2017 Oscars.
The Oscars, to be exact… In 2014, John Travolta was one of the speakers at the ceremony that announced the arrival of Idina Menzel, The Interpreter, on stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. Don’t let go, the iconic song from Frozen. A Hollywood blockbuster moment that will delight all fans of Disney’s animated classics. Except they will quickly become disillusioned…
On the stage of the prestigious Oscars, on television, John Travolta will make a truly unacceptable mistake, which will lead to the anger of Frozen fans and the joy of many. Because whoever will soon be able to reform the legendary duo on the big screen, the name will be completely wrong. The American on the stage actually announces not Idina Menzel, but a certain Adel Dazim, a person who absolutely does not exist!
John Travolta’s gaffe can be seen below:
After the incident, in front of millions of viewers live, John Travolta apologized sternly, but with humor, with the help of statement. “I beat myself up all day”– said the actor after the ceremony. “And then I thought, ‘What would Idina Menzel say?’ He would say “let go, let go!” (“Let Go,” an obvious reference to the song title from Frozen, editor’s note). Idina is incredibly talented and I am happy that the film won two Oscars.”
John Travolta was right: Idina Menzel was not against him. A year later, at the 2015 Academy Awards, he even decided to poke fun at the gaffe with a nice “revenge.” The American actually called John Travolta on stage… by the name of Glom Gazingo!
