“Last year Brie Larson stood and hugged every sexual assault survivor who was on stage with Gaga and now she has to hug Casey Affleck”, said a user on Twitter, referencing how Larson had to present Affleck with the award.

Insisting he was at a loss for words to help unite a divided country, Kimmel exhorted viewers to make their own efforts at reconciliation by reaching out to political adversaries they knew personally to “have a positive, considerate conversation, not as liberals or...

“I’m sure you’ve at least heard, “La La Land” was simultaneously the biggest victor and loser last night”.

As it reached the final and most anticipated award of the evening, Best Picture, actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway (who starred together in the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde) walked onto the stage to announce the victor. After guiding an auditorium full of celebrities through...

The 89th Annual Academy Awards had one of the most embarrassing moments in award-show history when La La Land was announced the victor for Best Picture and halfway through the team’s acceptance speech, the goof-up came to light and Moonlight was presented with the award.

The problem was that Moonlight actually won.

The other nominees for best adapted screenplay were Eric Heisserer (“Arrival”); Luke Davies (“Lion”); Theodore Melfi and Allison Schroeder (“Hidden Figures”) and August Wilson, who adapted his own play “Fences”.

Casey Affleck may have won the Oscar for Best Actor – but not everyone was rooting for him.

As those involved with the movies up for the Best Picture award at Sunday’s Oscars were sitting on pins and needles, most people at home were just ready for the show to finally end.

With all of the millions of dollars that go into the film industry, certainly both films stood on their own as outstanding works.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the accountancy company that has been counting Oscar ballots since 1935, admitted in a statement that presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway had been given the wrong envelope during the award for best film. It only took a few moments before...

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.

The wrong envelope fiasco stirred memories of Australia’s Next Top Model 2010 and Miss Universe 2015.

“Warren, what did you do?” a grim-faced Jimmy Kimmel demands onstage as the worst gaffe in Oscar history, and Beatty’s biggest flop since Ishtar, unfolds.

As a result, presenter Warren Beatty carried the wrong envelope Sunday night, meaning that his on-stage partner, Faye Dunaway, announced “La La Land” was the victor of the night’s top prize.
