Palance Beam (1992)
After 42 years in Hollywood, Jack Palance finally bags an Oscar for playing macho trail boss Curly in City Slickers. Accepting his Best Supporting Actor prize with a nod to host and costar Billy Crystal (he repeats his ''I crap bigger than him'' line from the film), the 72-year-old Palance expresses his joy by dropping to the floor and doing three one-armed push-ups. Palance's virility becomes fodder for Crystal and his gag writers for the rest of the evening and at the next year's ceremony as well, when Crystal enters astride a giant Oscar trophy — dragged onstage by Palance.
