Over the last few years, the Oscars have had their fair share of notable, eye-catching moments, from Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway's little oopsie when they inadvertently announced the wrong winner for Best Picture to "Parasite" dominating to Will Smith and the infamous slap. But while moments like "La La Land" briefly taking the Best Picture Oscar from "Moonlight" are as unforgettable as they are awkward, they only tiptoe so close to the precipice of absolute, wild insanity. It's not as if "La La Land" actually did steal an Oscar away, for example. And it's not as if a film or person has won an Oscar only to lose it.

As unprecedented as that sounds, though, you only have to cast your gaze as far back as the 1969 Oscars ceremony to glimpse some truly jaw-dropping one-time events. For instance, that's the year when the Best Actress Oscar went to two people: Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand, in the only acting tie in Oscar history. Oh, and it's also the year that a film won an Oscar ... and then had it rescinded. That dubious honor goes to the documentary "Young Americans," which may well be why you almost certainly haven't heard of this situation. It would be one thing if a more major release came so close to Oscar glory and had it wrested away from them; it's something else for a film with a less recognizable background to have its victory revoked.
