I never realized this happened...
MSN Oscar moments:
Frank Capra Pulls a Derek Zoolander (1934)
This reads like something that would happen in, well, a movie. But it did happen. Director Frank Capra was just plain confused when presenter Will Rogers opened up the Best Picture envelope with this: "Come on up and get it, Frank!" Capra, assuming he was the only Frank who'd deserve the accolade (for "Lady for a Day") bounded on stage only to realize... oops ... Frank Lloyd was the winner for "Cavalcade." Capra must have thanked the Lord there was no such thing as a televised Oscar broadcast in 1934. That long walk back into the audience must have been torturous.
