Which was funnier... Marlon Brando sending up the fake Native American woman to reject his Oscar? Or Carmine Coppola dropping his and breaking it?

I'd have to say dropping something that was just given to you (and breaking it) is pretty damn funny. Brando is just a weird guy, so you kind of have to expect something like that from him.

Can't say I remember it, but I would say dropping it also. How embarrassing. Brando's not accepting was not funny as much as stupid IMHO.

I know this isn't part of your question, but you wanna talk funny. Years ago some "Joe nobody" streaked the Academy award show, running right across the camera naked. Now, that was funny. He even had is fifteen minutes of fame, as he was on Johnny Carson the next night.

Even though I've never seen it I would say Carmine dropping his Oscar would be funnier then the stump Marlon pulled.

I think Roberto Benigni (sp) jumping over the seats when he was announced the winner for his Oscar is a hillarious scene.

In total agreement with you, TIS!!

Brando's staged Oscar refusal was not funny, nor was it intended to be funny. However it WAS stupid, and a foolish way to draw attention to an issue he supposedly cared about.

Sally Field's "you like me.. you really, really like me" acceptance speech in the 1980s. That is hilarious and missing from your list!

That's right D.A.; She really got teased for that speech. What about Jack Palance's one armed push-ups? Was that an Oscar show or another award show?

Well, I was going to restrict this poll to Godfather-related Oscar stuff, but...

Everybody knows how strange of a man Brando is, so one might predict that he would do something like that. Carmine Coppola's fumble got my vote. Now that, my firends, was unexpected.
