Top Ten Favorite 'Oscar' Moments

What are your Top Ten Oscar Moments from the Academy Awards. Acceptance speeches, video montages, jokes, presenters, opening, performances, etc.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
