And now, 10 Theories from
The Guardian:
Ten unproven and purely speculative theories
1. The bejeweled skull on Beavans leather jacket was modeled after Iñárritus dead grandmother.
2. Ten seconds before her name was announced, Beavan was seen strangling a homeless man for his loose change with her scarf.
3. Jenny Beavan is actually Donald Trump doing a weird Mrs Doubtfire turn.
4. The audience had heard a draft of Beavans controversial victory speech, and realized that they couldnt possibly be seen condoning a message as aggressive as its nice when people are nice to each other.
5. They all thought that this was the ceremony where they had to clap people of colour, not women.
6. It was a simple case of jealously. Tom McCarthy was still bitter that Beavan had refused to dress Mark Ruffalos Spotlight character in a silver body armour made entirely of human pelvises.
7. They were reminded of the old nursery rhyme If you publicly clap a woman named Beavan, none of your children will go to heaven.
8. The men knew that their significant others were in attendance, and they realized that clapping Beavan would give away the torrid, decades-long affair that theyve all been having with her.
9. This was approximately the 15th successive award won by Mad Max: Fury Road, and the directors were starting to worry that people might have preferred a fun film about some cool cars to their interminably worthy and hard-to-watch meditations on endless constant hardship.
10. The Oscars are really long and incredibly boring, and clapping Beavan would have distracted these people from the near-impossible task of remaining awake until the show reached its conclusion.
