The Oscars aren’t immune from unplanned strangeness (in any case, who can neglect 2017’s Moonlight vs. La La Land best-picture mix-up and all of the inimitable celeb reactions it spawned?), however generally, the shocker is coming from contained in the Academy.
There have been a whopping seven ties over the Oscars’ practically 100-year historical past, with the newest happening on Sunday evening, when Sam Davis’s The Singers and Alexandre Singh and Natalie Musteata’s Two Folks Exchanging Saliva each received within the best-live-action-short class on the 2026 Oscars.
Right here—for the Hollywood trivia followers on the market—we’ve rounded up the remainder of the Oscars’ surprising ties. Revisit each one under.
