“Adele Dazeem”
Surely the Academy Awards must provide their hosts and presenters with enough rehearsal time to make sure that mispronunciations don’t happen, right? That didn’t seem to be the case in 2014 when John Travolta, after squinting at the teleprompter for a moment, mispronounced singer and voice of Elsa from Disney’s “Frozen” Idina Menzel as… wait for it, Adele Dazeem. The flub was parodied the next year when Idina Menzel was brought back on stage to mispronounce Travolta’s name as “Glom Gazingo.”
