30 other Oscar slip-ups on the night that nobody noticed

The usually prestigious Academy Awards were reduced to farce earlier this week, when the wrong envelope was given to presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, who mistakenly announced the wrong movie as Best Picture.

John Travolta turned up and started pronouncing everyone's name wrong again but it sort of seemed like he was doing it for attention this time and honestly, it was just kind of sad.
