Not all of Chris Rock's jokes have been the freshest.

At least, according to his audience. More than two decades after the Madagascar star hosted the Oscars for the first time in 2005, he revealed which celebrity was especially unimpressed by his onstage quips.

"I think I went a little too hard on Jude Law," Rock, 61, admitted to Variety in an interview published Sept. 8. "We're fine now. But I remember bumping into him early after that, and he was definitely not having it."

He recalled the awkward run-in taking place at the Chateau Marmont, surrounded by his friends, adding, "I was at the Chateau with Courtney Love, and Courtney was growling, 'Get the f--k out of here.'"

E! News has reached out to Love and Law's reps for comment and has not yet heard back.

At the time of Rock's monologue at the 77th annual Academy Awards, Law—who was nominated for Best Actor for Cold Mountain the year before—was at the height of his career with six films premiering in 2004, including Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Alfie.

"You want Tom Cruise and all you can get is Jude Law?" Rock teased. "Wait. It's not the same thing, OK? Who is Jude Law? Why is he in every movie I have seen in the last four years? He's in everything. Even the movies he's not acting in. If you look at the credits, he made cupcakes or something."

"He's in everything. He's gay, he's straight, he's American, he's British," he continued. "Next year, he's playing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in a movie. If you can't get a star, wait. If you want Russell Crowe and all you can get is Colin Farrell, wait. It's not the same thing."

Although the audience was heard laughing along, Sean Penn defended his All the King's Men costar later in the evening while presenting the Best Actress award to Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby.

"Forgive my compromised sense of humor," he said, "but I did want to answer our host's question about who Jude Law is. He's one of our finest actors."

Law, for his part, also shared his thoughts on the Everybody Hates Chris alum's joke.

"At first I laughed, because I didn't think he knew who I was," he told The New York Times in September 2006. "Then I got angry as his remarks, I felt, became more personal. My friends were livid. I was moved when Sean came to my defense.”

"As a celebrity, I know I'm fair game for a lot of things that I don't like," the now-53-year-old continued, "but Rock crossed the line when he made his point and got his laugh, then seemingly wouldn't stop. It's very unfortunate that I had five or six films come out at the same time. However, I had no control over that."

The Holiday star even offered pointed advice to the Academy if Rock hosted again (which he did in 2022 when Will Smith slapped him onstage).

"The proof's in the pudding," Law told the outlet. "If you can't get Billy Crystal, then wait."

Rock's joke wasn't the only shocking highlight from the Oscars over the years. Keep reading for some of the biggest moments to ever come out of the award show.

Will Smith shocked viewers everywhere at the 2022 Oscars when he slapped Chris Rock for making a dig about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair, issuing a stern warning after returning to his seat: "Keep my wife's name out your f--king mouth!" 

And though the actor would later return to the stage to collect an Academy Award for his performance in King Richard—and offered up an apology to the comedian the following day—the Academy issued him a 10-year ban from all their events for the debacle.

The stars of A Star Is Born unforgettably took the stage to perform the Oscar-nominated (and ultimately winning) "Shallow," though it was their chemistry that had people speculating for days after. "Yes, people saw love and—guess what—that's what we wanted you to see," Lady Gaga told Jimmy Kimmel, setting the record straight once and for all about her relationship status with Bradley Cooper. "I guess we did a good job and fooled ya!"

To host or not to host: That is the question. In December 2018, Kevin Hart announced on Twitter that he would be hosting the 2019 show. He called it the "opportunity of a lifetime" and that he was "blown away" by the honors. Two days later, the comedian stepped down as the host after facing backlash over resurfaced tweets from 2011. "I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year's Oscars....this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists," he tweeted in December 2018. "I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past."

After La La Land was pronounced the Best Picture winner at the 2017 Oscars, producer Jordan Horowitz revealed that Moonlight was the actual victor—making the incident one of the most memorable in Oscar history.

John Travolta suffered a bit of a malapropism while introducing Frozen's Idina Menzel to the stage at the 2014 Oscars. Instead of saying her actual name, he called her Adele Dazeem. Oops? The duo reunited a year later and she reciprocated the honors by naming him Glom Gazingo.

While taking the stage to accept the award for Best Actress at the 2013 Oscars, the Silver Linings Playbook star stumbled and fell to the ground.

With eight nominations, Brokeback Mountain was expected to take home the big prize at the 2006 Academy Awards. So, viewers were surprised when Paul Haggis took the stage to accept the Best Picture Oscar for Crash. Even Haggis later said the drama didn't deserve Best Picture.

After he won the Oscar for Best Actor at the 2003 Annual Academy Awards, Brody was so overcome with emotion that he planted a giant kiss on presenter Berry.

Björk's 2001 dress is one of the most memorable in Oscars history. The Icelandic singer-songwriter wore a dress that looked like a swan by Marjan Pejoski.

Handing her phone to Bradley Cooper to do the now-infamous honors of taking a star-studded selfie at the 2014 Oscars, Ellen DeGeneres got Jennifer Lawrence, Jared Leto, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Lupita Nyong'o and more to pose for one epic pic.

Angelina Jolie planted a giant peck on her brother James Haven's lips at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2000. The actress won the Best Supporting Actress award for Girl, Interrupted earlier in the night and said she was "so in love" with her brother during her acceptance speech. Saturday Night Live even joked about the moment on its show.

Shakespeare in Love entered the 1999 Academy Awards with 13 nominations while Saving Private Ryan went in with 11. Still, many were surprised when Shakespeare in Love ended up being the big winner.

The singer caught everyone's attention when she showed up to the 1986 Academy Awards in this now-unforgettable Bob Mackie ensemble.

Host David Niven got a bit of a shock after a streaker ran across the stage at the 1974 Academy Awards.

While the idea of Charlie Chaplin receiving a standing ovation isn't surprising, the duration of the round of applause is. After he returned to the U.S. for the first time in over a decade to receive an honorary Oscar at the 1972 awards, the comedy legend reportedly received a 12-minute standing ovation. 

Sacheen Littlefeather, who attended the 1973 ceremony on Brando's behalf, announced that the Godfather star "very regretfully" could not accept the award in protest of the film industry's treatment of Native Americans. 

Barbra Streisand and Katharine Hepburn Both Win Best Actress

In 1969, there were not one but two Best Actress winners: Katharine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand. While Hepburn wasn't there to accept her award, Streisand said she was "very honored to be in such magnificent company as Katharine Hepburn."

The 2017 Best Picture mishap isn't the only Oscar mixup. Sammy Davis Jr. received the wrong envelope and read the incorrect name for the winner of Scoring of Music (adaptation or treatment) at the 36th Academy Awards in 1964. "Wait 'til the NAACP hears about this," he said. He then put on his glasses and joked, "I ain't gonna make no mistake this time."
