Still one of the all-time best GIFs.

 

[Icolin]

Can't wait for the inevitable biopic.

 

[G0523]

TV Line has the video up of the screw up for Best Picture.

 

[TheOddOne]

Better quality.

 

[Not]

After re-watching it, I think they gave Warren the wrong card.

Someone is getting

FUH FUH FUH

FIRED

 

[Eggiem]

"Guys,guys, I am sorry. There is a mistake. Hillary Clinton won the Presidential Election."

 

[Got]

 

[mreddie]

Seeing that moment during the Double Toasted stream was priceless.

 

[Meowster]

Janelle Monáe just keeps winning, doesn't she? Acclaimed musician, acclaimed actress.

 

[traveler]

haha

"In true form, La La Land only won Best Picture in a fantasy moment shared between former lovers imagining wistfully what might have been."

Holy shit; I love La La Land, but this is perfect hahaha

 

[smokeymicpot]

Even if that were the case, the card should have said "Emma Stone" and not "LA LA Land" as the winner. At the very least he should have stalled and gotten someone's attention.

Why was the Best Actress card back in an envelope anyway? Ridiculous.

He did stall.

 

[Nielm]

Wrong link.

 

[GunBR]

After re-watching it, I think they gave Warren the wrong card.

Warren explained
They gave him the envelope of best actress, he read "Emma Stone - La La Land" and got confused, that's why he gave to Faye and she just read out loud the La La Land

lmao

holy fuck

 

[A-V-B]

Man, I feel really bad for the La La Land guys. All celebrating and happy, then BAM. You lost, our bad.

I'd almost say make it the first joint best picture, but then you're cheapening everyone's victory.

 

[Window]

All the headlines printing "Beatty reads out winner wrong" are really creating the wrong perception of what happened (even though it may be technically correct, kind of as Dunaway said out loud the winner).

 

[Vilix]

I don't think Price Waterhouse Coopers will be doing the Oscars after this. Lol

 

[Granjinha]

still haven't watched moonlight but wow at that mistake

The last thing people and the film industry need is another generic-ass musical with people who can't even sing reinforcing white privilege.

bye LLL

oh jesus christ just shut up with this, la la land is an incredible movie.

boring white people singing about their problems in LA with autotune:
"I can't open my jazz club!"
"Nobody chooses me in my auditions! Guess I have to go back to school or go back to live with mom and dad!"

boohoo.

black women put people into space.

And I'm glad Moonlight got best picture.

The LLL hype train is ridiculous.



Yeah, that's why I think it Moonlight winning instead of LLL was great.

thank god you won't ever be in anything related to nonimating what's best and what's not

 

[WickedLaharl]

Are you serious? Get a grip on reality.

I refuse!

 

[Tagyhag]

Apparently Warren Beatty read the envelope for Emma Stone La La Land and got confused.

https://twitter.com/THR/status/836084204920135680

The sad thing is that this was explained multiple times and people (even here) are saying "Stupid Beatty! So senile! The two titles don't even look alike!"

And people wonder how fake news can spread like wildfire.

 

[Chumley]

Can you even imagine if it happened the other way around though

Fuck

 

[SURGEdude]

Both were well produced but forgettable Oscarbate. That said, I think Moonlight will be the slightly more memorable of the two.

 

[And_Gignac]

Moonlight was boring tbh. Idgaf.

Arrival was the best deserving.

 

[Natiko]

I didn't realize the awards were based on concepts instead of execution. Silly me.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

No way it was staged. They had the wrong card.

How many cards do they have for the same category then? Did they give the same one they already opened to Warren?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Either Warren and Faye are Grandpa Simpson-levels of senile or this was staged...

The academy are way too far up their own asses to stage something this embarrassing for publicity.

 

[NYR]

I can't even watch it again, so embarrassing.

 

[Parmadillo Marshmallow]

Is it just me or was Denzel FUBAR?

 

[- J - D -]

Poor Warren. First Ishtar, now this.

 

[SaniOYOYOY]

La La Land fans, please comment if you're ok.

LLL fans probably also agree that moonlight are the better film

 

[rekameohs]

M. Night Shyamalan‏ @MNightShyamalan

I wrote the ending of the academy awards 2017. @jimmykimmel we really got them!

 

[Kacar]

Liked La La Land alot more than moonlight.

Was cool to see moonlight win like that out of nowhere. Also thought it was a great movie.

That was just crazy.

 

[Got]

If you wanna relive the moment page 102 is the best place to start.

Heathen

 

[RyanW]

Basically

 

[kevin1025]

He did stall.

What I thought was a bit, turned out to be genuine confusion. He should have said, "Emma, apparently you're Best Picture!"

 

[TheFlow]

Both were well produced but forgettable Oscarbate. That said, I think Moonlight will be the slightly more memorable of the two.

Bye Felicia

 

[Jigorath]

The person who screwed up is whoever handed Beatty the wrong card.

 

[GitarooMan]

Yeah Beatty actually didn't really fuck up at all. He was rightfully confused and at worst just didn't act quick enough to salvage the situation.

 

[rocketskates]

Meh, either way it was one boring movie or another boring movie that won.

 

[AoM]

Basically:

You could tell Beatty was wary about reading it out because of the confusion (saying Emma Stone on the card), so Dunaway hastily saw La La Land and read it out.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Even if that were the case, the card should have said "Emma Stone" and not "LA LA Land" as the winner. At the very least he should have stalled and gotten someone's attention.

Why was the Best Actress card back in an envelope anyway? Ridiculous.

He did stall and you could tell he was confused by what he was reading.

But yeah, that was completely ridiculous how this could happen.

[scarlet]

Both was boring to me. I felt asleep.

Still wanted Manchester by the sea to win.

 

[ezekial45]

I'm currently blasting this song in honor of Moonlight's sudden win. It was the opening song to the movie, and it totally fits now.

This is a terrible way to judge movies or any art.

 

[Toth]

The guy who came out to break the news was really composed I must say.

Uh..moonlight was definitely not Oscar bait and lll had a hard time even getting made

How is that even possible.

That dude has literally one job. Give card
