Twitter blames Bonnie and Clyde for ‘La La Land’-‘Moonlight’ Oscar debacle

And it apparently took until halfway through the acceptance speeches for La La Land for the stagehands and PricewaterhouseCoopers accountants to realize Dunaway and Beatty had made a huge mistake.

According to reports, despite the fact that Emma Stone had already received the award for “Best Actress”, Beatty and Dunaway were accidentally given the duplicate of that card. Three of the film’s producers spoke before the actual victor, the coming-of-age drama “Moonlight”, was announced. I go back to my regular show tomorrow night: “I promise, I’ll never come back here”.

Producer Jordan Horwitz then graciously passed his statue to the “Moonlight” producers.

Widely expected to honor itself again by awarding a showbiz celebration like “La La Land”, Hollywood veered instead to Miami’s Liberty City, and a film that ripples with the humanity of a young man _ black, gay, poor _ seldom dignified by the movies or other realms of society. celeb news

As La La Land peaked early and the hype turned to hate, thanks to the Academy getting carried away and nominating the film for 14 categories – up there along with Titanic and All About Eve – the members were more measured about voting for the victor.

“La La Land” actors Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling – whose characters, actress Mia and jazz pianist Sebastian, embark upon a romance as they try to find footing in their careers – were also nominated in the actor categories.

They made a decision to reward the younger filmmakers, 32-year-old Damien Chazelle and 37-year-old Barry Jenkins over Mel Gibson who returned to form with a pacifist Hacksaw Ridge. I think people thought you were being gracious and sharing the Oscar with “Moonlight”.

For those who see last night as a hurried attempt to right recent wrongs, keep in mind how long it takes a movie to be made – Jenkins has worked on Moonlight for eight years.

While PwC’s media and entertainment branch is relatively small (accounting for only 4.2 percent of its billion in sales last fiscal year), Hileman said this very public gaffe could affect the entire business.

The Oscars for original screenplay and adapted screenplay went, respectively, to the scripts for Manchester By The Sea and Moonlight. “I love being part of the movies”, said Lonergan, who then thanked his star. “Thank you. Thank you so much”.

The cast of Moonlight celebrates as they win the best picture award at the Oscars. Affleck and Denzel Washington (“Fences”) were seen as neck-and-neck in the category. Harvey misread the correct (admittedly confusingly laid out) envelope.

The show kicked off with Justin Timberlake dancing down the Dolby Theatre aisles, singing his ebullient song, “Can’t Stop the Feeling”, from the animated film “Trolls”. Protests, boycotts and rallies have swirled ahead of Sunday night’s Oscars. Meanwhile, “Fences”, (the August Wilso play adapted to a movie starring Denzel Washington and Best Actress victor Viola Davis) was a different film altogether.

Ellen Burstyn, who won the best actress Oscar in 1975 for her role in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, has practised a blend of Sufism and other religions since her late 30s but says she considers herself a “spirit open to the truth” rather than a Muslim. “‘Moonlight, ‘ you guys won best picture….”

Both stuck to more private reflections over politics.
