Entertainment and Celebrity News today.
The 98th Academy Awards took place on March 15th at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
Several winners had parts of their acceptance speeches censored live on broadcast after using swear words on stage.
Frankenstein picked up two technical awards that night, Best makeup and hairstyling and best costume design.
Mike Hill from the makeup team muttered an expletive while fumbling for his glasses at the podium.
Meanwhile, the sound team for F1 celebrated their win in that category.
Gwendolyn Yates' widow let slip a curse word right as she started speaking from memory and lost her place.
Kate Hawley, the costume designer for Frankenstein, also got bleeped during her thanks to her hardworking team and family.
She wrapped up gracefully after the brief mute.
These slip-ups grabbed the tension online and underscored the tightrope of live television,
where even split-second reactions trigger quick censorship.
