Fuck off with this rhetoric.

You fuck off first.

 

[The007JiM]

Insane plot twist at the end.

Great year of different kind of movies.

Great job by Kimmel.

Funny thing is Thor: The Dark World started right after ending the oscars in Latam TNT signal.

Spoiler

And yes i'm going to watch it

 

[Joeku]

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

La La Land's leads are a bastion of privilege, and whiteness is indeed a part of that. If those two were of different races the movie would come off entirely differently. You can't deny that.

Edit: Lmao BJ Novak keeping it real.

 

[NYR]

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.

He even looked off stage. This is a massive fuck up. Legendary.

 

[GravityInsanity]

haha

 

[iShouldGoPro]

No, because then Denzel would have to hold back tears again

 

[dickroach]

HA god damnit.

 

[Moppeh]

Please, everyone, I know we are emotional right now but let's do the right thing here and blame Faye Dunnaway. Warren just had a comeback with the hit film "Ruls Don't Apply", he doesn't deserve this.

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

IT WAS AN INSIDE JOB

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

Fuck

There would had been riots in the streets

 

[Barzul]

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

I swear me either. Reliving the embarrassment of that moment is just too much for me right now lol.

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.

While Moonlight's concept is uniquely relevant in the current age and worthy of addressing, so much of what makes great art great is the how and not the what. Even if you don't think La La Land was a great movie, this is a terrible way of evaluating art in general.

 

[Faddy]

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

Time to bring in Deloitte

 

[D23]

Omg so embaraaaing

 

[Granjinha]

La La Land's leads are a bastion of privilege, and whiteness is indeed a part of that. If those two were of different races the movie would come off entirely differently. You can't deny that.

And? We're talking best movie here, i'm sure moonlight is great and maybe even better than LLL (still haven't seen it) but what a nonsensical statement considering the context of the awards

 

[Blader]

Please fix your GAF settings.



I still think it was staged as a 'funny' joke with Kimmel's comments at the end about Steve Harvey.

No way this was staged. This is hugely embarrassing for the show.

 

[MG310]

Someone watch the end of Emma Stone's speech and follow the envelope off the stage.

 

[LionPride]

Like, Beatty looked at the card three, four times, knew somethin was up, handed it to Faye, and she read that shit immediately

 

[Not]

this image is killing me

it's a good'un

 

[Tagyhag]

God could you imagine if the roles were reversed?

This thread would be a battlefield.

 

[darkistheway]

Jesus christ, show some respect. And he did know something was wrong; he clearly looks confused and takes his time- looks at Dunaway to try to get her take on it, but doesn't know what to do at the time.

Someone screwed up in the back; Warren just took the loss for them.

What is he your grandpa? He could have realized the card was wrong and called the producer over.

 

[The Lamp]

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

LLL was simply not as good as Hidden Figures or Moonlight. And there was definitely not a single scene as good as when Katherine yells at everyone in the control room.

But whatever. Justice was served anyway.

 

[DR2K]

Moonlight won more states.

 

[Kayhan]

 

[friskykillface]

Look at this fuckery.

That snatch of the paper
Mad af to the max

But it's understandable to be mad af in that situation

 

[Icolin]

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

Here and fine. Moonlight is a very worthy winner, and a surprising and bold one at that, considering what the Academy typically picks.

Dude, wut

 

[RustyNails]

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

It was year of the boring Oscar movies. Manchester by the Sea is also kinda boring, save for a few spots. Hacksaw Ridge is where it's at.

 

[Meowster]

Like, Beatty looked at the card three, four times, knew somethin was up, handed it to Faye, and she read that shit immediately

Bless her poor heart lol.

 

[JABEE]

Everyone will blame Warren Beatty, but it was Faye who read out the wrong film!

 

[Marmaladefire]

This is truly the only way to describe it

 

[Socivol]

Moonlight was a great movie and the Oscar is well deserved. I wish they would have expanded on the ending a bit more it ended pretty abruptly to me.

 

[kevin1025]

Someone watch the end of Emma Stone's speech and follow the envelope off the stage.

Follow the Money, Follow the Envelope!

 

[J_Viper]

I'm so glad that Moonlight won, so I really this hilarious debacle doesn't overshadow the actual award.

You fuck off first.

Amazing retort!

 

[iShouldGoPro]

HAHAHAHA

 

[GunBR]

I'm dying here

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Oh, just found out what happened. Haven't seen Moonlight, I'll still think that La La Land was the better picture.

You would still be wrong

 

[TWrecks310]

I'm here for all conspiracies about this.

 

[HotHamBoy]

How much did Warner Bros. pay to put "Academy Award Winner" on future Suicide Squad boxes?

Is that really how you came out of La La Land? Dude

 

[painey]

the strangest thing is that they resealed an envelope of an already announced winner

 

[Tadale]

I like La La Land but I'm glad that moonlight won.

 

[Zasa]

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

I'm fine, both movies along with Manchester were outstanding. I'm just still baffled as to the hate LLL receives on here compared to everywhere else.

 

[Loxley]

dead

 

[MHWilliams]

I feel like I can't even enjoy it.

I wanted Moonlight to win, but fuccccccccck, they brought the La La Land crew onstage for the biggest win of the night and took it away.

 

[jombag]

I found it kinda weird Ryan Gosling wasn't with the La La land entourage when they were making their speech..hmmmm.

 

[Zyae]

What is he your grandpa? He could have realized the card was wrong and called the producer over.

Really dude? You're so confident what you would do in that situation? Please

Worst poster in this thread.

 

[stupei]

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

Yeah, that guy's life Moonlight is based off is such Oscar bait.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

God could you imagine if the roles were reversed?

This thread would be a battlefield.

I doubt 95% of this thread even saw Moonlight to object.

Mans got handed the wrong card. Shit sucks and would have sucked either way.
