Top 10 - Whoopi Goldeberg as Queen Elizabeth I
Host Whoopi Goldberg appears as Queen Elizabeth during the 71st Annual Academy Awards (1999).
After getting into hot water over Ted Danson's blackface skit at the Friars, you'd think Whoopi might be ambivalent about whiteface -- but no.
Goldberg chose to dress up in costumes that celebrated each of the year's Best Picture nominees, opening the show as Queen Elizabeth I (from "Elizabeth")
In 2005 her costume, from the private collection of Bob Mackey, sold at auction for $22,800 by Christies Auction House.
