During the 1974 Oscars ceremony, a streaker named Robert Opel ran naked across the stage, briefly disrupting the live broadcast. Host David Niven, remaining completely composed, defused the situation with an iconic, ad-libbed quip about the streaker "showing his shortcomings." Credit: @theacademy | History In Pictures
