It's been 10 years since Idina Menzel was announced onstage at the 2014 Oscars with a memorable pronunciation flub by John Travolta. And Menzel is once again taking the moment in stride. Travolta was set to introduce Menzel for a performance of “Let It Go” from “Frozen” at the Academy Awards ceremony on March 2, 2014. The unexpected result went viral and became part of internet meme history. “Please welcome the wickedly talented, one and only, Adele Dazeem,” Travolta said.
“I’ve been beating myself up all day. Then I thought ... what would Idina Menzel say, She’d say, Let it go, let it go! Idina is incredibly talented and I am so happy Frozen took home two Oscars Sunday night!” he said in a statement through his publicist. Travolta explained how the mishap happened on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2015. Amidst backstage confusion, Travolta said he ran into Goldie Hawn, leaving him “starstruck” and frazzled.
