‘Moonlight’ wins best picture… after ‘La La Land’

Then they made their way to the stage.

“I’m gonna be really proud to hand this to my friends from Moonlight”, Horowitz graciously said, and the rightful film’s cast and crew took the stage to accept their award.

Then producer Marc Platt did the same.

They are the only two people in the world who know the winners ahead of the event, having counted up all of the ballots from the jury. “Why can’t we just give out a whole bunch of them?” he asked. What we didn’t know was that we’d all witness the pop-culture equivalent of “DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN”.

Director M Night Shyamalan has joked that he wrote the ending to the 89th Academy Awards, which saw the wrong victor announced in the coveted best picture category. “This is not a joke”.

The show’s host announced the victor, who gave an excited speech.

And when one viewer spotted DiCaprio holding the Best Actress envelope that he handed to Emma Stone for La La Land, which preceded Best Picture, she had her suspicions.

Before the ceremony, PricewaterhouseCooper’s Brian Cullinan and Martha L. Ruiz touted the honed process they follow in an interview with MarketWatch.

Meanwhile, Emma Stone’s win for her endearing turn in “La La Land” continued a trend of young actresses winning for their roles in Best Picture nominees.

“Ideally, we like to have everything completed several days before the show. Awards come and go”.

‘The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected.

Which somehow didn’t happen Sunday night.

If you turned off the Oscars at midnight and went to bed out of boredom, are you going to be sorry.

So, while the crew of La La Land is certainly disappointed that they did not win the coveted prize, they can at least rest well knowing that they were also not a victor of the Golden Raspberry Awards.

“I can’t even begin to describe to you the pandemonium this caused – and is still causing tonight”, Georgie, who attends the Oscars every year, wrote in a Facebook post after the show.

Jenkins added: “The last 20 minutes of my life have been insane”. Dunaway apparently thought Beatty was intentionally hesitating for dramatic effect, so she jokingly said, “You’re impossible”. “Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time“, he said. No one knew what the hell was happening. “I wanted to see the card to see the card”. “Me and Warren handled this great”. And so he did. And he’s like, ‘No, Barry Jenkins has to see the card. “And right after I did, the president (Dave Kaval) retweeted it, so I think it will happen”.

“I wanted to feel compassion for him”, Jenkins explained, “I’m pretty sure the first thing I do when I get up onstage is give him a hug because it couldn’t have been easy”.

Take a look inside the Oscars 2017! “Some guys in headsets started buzzing around”. Clearly something was wrong. I love Moonlight. Who doesn’t?
