Rami Malek fell off the Academy Awards stage after accepting his Oscar
Good thing those Oscar statues aren't made out of glass, huh?
Rami Malek seemed to be having a great time at the 91st Academy Awards when he took the stage to accept a Best Actor win for his performance in Bohemian Rhapsody. But after the show cut to commercial and Malek was making his way back to his seat, disaster struck.
He fell! Off the stage! With the loudest THUD! The explicit details of the moment were thankfully not caught on film, but this video of Malek suddenly disappearing from view tells the whole story. Make sure you have your sound on.

We can only wonder what it was that tripped him up. Photographers were on hand to catch the immediate aftermath, and Malek's subsequent chat with an entire squad of visibly concerned paramedics and security types.
I'm guessing the rest of Malek's night played out a lot like this scene from Best Animated Feature Oscar-winner Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse.
