Best Picture Confusion: Here’s What Really Happened at the Oscars
Personally, I think he was telling her that he knew that Warren Beatty was going to read the wrong name when announcing Best Picture and she was reacting the way we all did when we found out that Moonlight actually won the major award. But we’re all so excited for Moonlight. Multiple tourists were brought to the front of the theater and introduced to a number of actors, including Denzel Washington and Ryan Gosling.
He attempted to do the same to Emma Stone, mugging behind her as she was giving an interview, but she either didn’t notice or refused to acknowledge him for quite some time.
The tweet fired up the legendary actor: “Yeah I am playing grandfather roles and pretty soon I’ll be playing great grandfather roles, f-k you”. PEOPLE explained: the accountants deliver two separate, but identical, sets of victor cards to the event (travelling separately, in case something happens), and stand on either side of the stage, handing out the envelopes as they go.
The meme, which will now forever be known as, “Whispering Ryan Gosling” was one of the best moments from this year’s Oscars…
Well, there was that whole Moonlight, La La Land thing that kind deserves its own set of memes…
Davis said the mixup during the announcement of “La La Land” instead of “Moonlight” as best picture left her looking around the room in disbelief.
Justin Hurwitz took home best song for his much-loved number “City of Stars” and the enchanting soundtrack of “La La Land” at the 89th annual Academy Awards.
“There were times I wasn’t being sent to auditions, and my agent would stop sending me because I wasn’t getting enough call-backs”, she said.
I had always noticed Ruth Negga’s talent when she had played a supporting role in the TV series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., so it’s glad to see the Academy Award notice her talent and nominate her work for Loving.
“So I don’t mean to start stuff, but whatever story that was, I had that card”. I tried to get on his [post-] Oscar show previous year. Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the accounting firm that has accounted votes for the Oscars for years, announced on Sunday night that they messed up. I think I’m still on such a buzzy train backstage that I was, you know, on another planet already. “I think it’s an incredible outcome but a very odd happening for Oscar history”.
