Poor Beatty even checked the envelope again for another card.

What a joke. Netflix will be streaming the Oscars in a few years.

Double_Oh_7

More like the dumbest observation from Reddit. Of course the orchestra doesn't know who the winner is.

Dan

that redditor is dumb as shit.

Obey The D

Feel bad for him. He must feel terrible, but it really wasn't his fault.

Local news just reported Warren Beatty announced the wrong winner. It's funny because I thought the same thing until I played the DVR back and realized it was Faye Dunaway.

It could have been worse. They could have had John Travolta announce the winner as "Hidden Fences."

What basically happened was...

Finisher

Don't feel too bad, he banged every hot starlet in Hollywood for like 30 years. But, yeah, he was going to look like a dumbass regardless of what he did. And it was Faye who read it.

I believe the point they were trying to make that the huge mistake wasn't scripted as some people accused it to be.

Anyways, the La La Land crew handled it well and they got some major awards throughout the entire awards season. They shouldn't be that disappointed. Like Kimmel said, "It's just an awards show."

Does this mean that an accounting firm other than Price Waterhouse will be handling the Academy Awards from now on?

I wonder if it had been the other way around and "Moonlight" had won by mistake and the producers had starting giving their speeches and saying "This is a great night for diversity and a proud moment for African Americans, etc," -- I wonder if the Academy would have just said, "Aw, f' it, let them win."

The only thing that would have made this better is if they had initially announced Hacksaw Ridge as Best Picture. Just imagine Mel Gibson having to hand the Oscar to the Moonlight crew.

Sean O'Hara

That's like saying, "That black dude has dark skin."

So I rewatched the ending again and right after Faye Dunaway announces the winner as "La La Land," you can see an ever brief expression on Warren's face like "WTF did you just do?"

Then when it cuts to the "La La Land" folks, you can hear the audio of Warren saying, "It says 'to Emma stone'" and Faye Dunaway going, "What?"

Rickman, Bowie and Vigoda were in last years.

This blu-ray.com post made me smile.

If the Academy Awards had one iota of common sense, next year they would announce that Jimmy Fallon is going to host the 2018 Oscars. They would book a full press tour with him, with appearences on all the daytime talk shows. Have him film tv spots to air during the Superbowl and other commericials, radio ads and viral marketting campaigns promoting the Academy Awards. Then , when the day comes and the telecast begins, Jimmy comes out and starts a big song and dance number, only to be cut off after 45 seconds, while the Oscar production staff scramble on stage and eventually announce that there has been a mistake, and that Stephen Colbert is actually the host of the show. And then, Stephen Colbert would actually host the show and Jimmy Fallon would go home

While that would be funny, the problem is everyone will milk this joke for the next year on SNL, Late Night shows, etc. Heck, I wouldn't put past Kimmel to do something like that on his show tonight. By the time the Oscars roll around next year, the joke will be old at that point. Kinda of the same way Kimmel milked the Matt Damon feud a bit too much last night. It was very funny at first, but it felt like Uma/Oprah by the end of the night, IMO.

I know that nobody is expecting something like that to happen, but I still blame someone in the Academy who knew the answer for not getting out there early enough to stop the La La Land crew from their speech. In the end, it was the Producer of La La Land who had the Oscar in his hand address the audience of the fuck up.

And I thought Beatty and Kimmel mocking the mistake while everyone was up there was in poor taste. Beatty was sort of laughing and Kimmel is talking about Steve Harvey, as it made it appear they were all joking and it was a hoax.

At the very least we can all agree Warren Beatty probably never gets an erection again.

Can you imagine if they had given Beatty the envelope for Best Actor and Faye Dunaway had read the winner as "Manchester By the Sea."

Then as Matt Damon was giving his acceptance speech, Kimmel would have interrupted him, "Matt, I'm sorry but there's been a mistake. You didn't win."

And Damon would have been like, "Yeah, right, Jimmy. Right."

And the whole auditorium would have burst out laughing thinking it was all a joke.

It would have probably taken Kimmel at least ten minutes to convince everybody that it was an actual mistake and not a prank.
