10. Marisa Tomei Wins One
When making your list of all time biggest Oscar upsets, you have to include the unlikely victory of Marisa Tomei. At the ceremony in 1993, the young actress took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her lively turn in My Cousin Vinny. The win was such an upset — especially considering she won over traditional favorites like Judy Davis, Miranda Richardson, and Vanessa Redgrave — that a rumor quickly began to circulate that Tomei only won her award by mistake (like Steve Harvey at the Miss Universe pageant). It wasn’t true, of course, as Tomei has more than proved her worth in the years since, earning two more nominations for Best Supporting Actress.
