Someone explain to me how they got the RIGHT card to hold up and show people. I mean, they read the wrong card, where the fuck the right card come from?

If you look in the back, there is a producer with a headset who brings out the right card.

 

[Not]

Title change is killin me. Double Toasted guys compared La La Land to the Falcons too

 

[TWrecks310]

Emma Stone

I love Emma Stone so much

 

[Certinty]

I only wish in the envelope was the Suicide Squad card from earlier.

That would have been the highlight of the decade.

 

[The One and Done™]

Holy fucking shit lmao!!!#!!###!

 

[kevin1025]

This is all Warren Beatty's revenge for Rules Don't Apply.

 

[sangreal]

Why is warren the one up there apologizing when he clearly thought it was wrong and didn't announce it

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Its amazing how people are finding this so hard to understand...wrong envelope and card. Producers realize mistake and bring the right one up..which is why you see TWO envelopes during the correction.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Poor Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

At least Beatty got a chance to explain the situation otherwise the vultures would be all over them.

 

[msdstc]

He's mad and he has every right to be.

He has NO right to be mad at Beatty

Holy shit why didn't this happen.

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

Everyone who doesn't know what happened keeps bringing up that Warren Beatty messed up....but it wasn't Warren's fault at all.

If you didn't see it, stop talking about it with second hand information.

Warren knew something was wrong with the card and tried to see if there was another card in the envelope and he refused to say who won and Faye, his co presenter thought he was messing around, so he tried to show her WHY he wasn't saying who won, but she just saw "lala land" and just said it without considering WHY he wasn't saying anything (being that it said Emma stone, lala land)

so Let's stop Putting blame on Warren.

 

[Heshinsi]

They took the Best Picture card out of Beatty's hand and showed it to the camera. It was Moonlight.

There was no wrong card given.

There were two envelopes on the stage. The guy on the left had the other.

 

[Joeku]

you know what i won't waste my time

think whatever you want

Dude, I'm not trying to shit on your views.

But Ryan Gosling was nominated for best actor in this movie.

Like, I get that Whiplash was a movie about Jazz and toxic relationships and the risks of achievement above all (and I fucking adore that movie for it). Funny, then, that La La Land almost touched on these again but landed far more softly. It was just written in a way that didn't land as hard, and clearly Chazelle felt the need to self-inset and proselytize for jazz while fellating the Silver Screen at the same time. It reeks of reaching.

Again, let me repeat, I really enjoyed the movie; it's just hard to not see through it. It's so much less honest and heartfelt than Whiplash.

 

[Quick]

The 89th Academy Awards |OT| Can La La Land win one for the land?

 

[tearsintherain]

bet this guy is feeling pretty happy

#TrumpWasRight

 

[jack_package_200]

I assume you were also saying this when people thought La La Land one and/or would win?

I can't imagine anyone going SUCK IT MOONLIGHT if La La Land had won.

 

[gutter_trash]

that bald guy was too angry towards Warren Beaty though,

like jeez, relax

 

[Mistle]

Yo, the way Warren Beatty gave Faye Dunaway the card to read even though he saw something was wrong

LMAO

I can't stop rewatching this moment.

Looks like he knew something was wrong and was trying to get confirmation from Faye before bringing attention to the mess up, but she just went ahead and read it out straight away, probably because his stalling was awkward and she wanted to move things along.

 

[GK86]

There is a cold-blooded mod out there lol.

 

[stupei]

This almost makes up for Carol not even being nominated last year.

Almost.

 

[Dalek]

El Oh El!!

 

[Jigorath]

Why is warren the one up there apologizing when he clearly thought it was wrong and didn't announce it

Cause everyone keeps blaming him!

 

[GravityInsanity]

Holy shit that OT haha.

 

[traveler]

Its amazing how people are finding this so hard to understand...wrong envelope and card. Producers realize mistake and bring the right one up..which is why you see TWO envelopes during the correction.

Despite not even taking the time to understand the situation from the distance of their computer, hot take posters in this thread clearly would have handled the situation perfectly in the heat of the moment....

 

[cj_iwakura]

Emma Stone

That's why she's the queen.

 

[Damerman]

Happy moonlight won. The last scene almost had me in tears. Very emotional movie that defies stereotypes.

 

[Faddy]

The 89th Academy Awards |OT| Can La La Land win one for the land?

Someone get me a Ryan Gosling as Ash avatar

 

[Kaizer]

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE

WOWWWWWWWW

 

[shwimpy]

LOL @ the title change.

 

[Qwyjibo]

I can't imagine anyone going SUCK IT MOONLIGHT if La La Land had won.

There were tons of morons just in this thread so I wouldn't be surprised for anyone to say that about ANY movie.

 

[Staccat0]

The card snatch was clearly a guy dealing with a lot but trying to project "no. Stop laughing. This is real. Get them up here ASAP."

 

[ZeoVGM]

Well that's an embarrassing flub.

Not as embarrassing as the people who got legitimately angry when they thought La La Land won but still pretty bad.

God forbid one great movie wins an award over another great movie.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Why is warren the one up there apologizing when he clearly thought it was wrong and didn't announce it

He understood that people would wrongfully pin it on him, after holding the card and acting "weird" and he's cool like that.

 

[Lights and Waves]

Yo, the way Warren Beatty gave Faye Dunaway the card to read even though he saw something was wrong

LMAO

I can't stop rewatching this moment.

He threw her under the bus.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Best thread title change I've seen in a long long time

 

[NYR]

THANK YOU BASED GOD FOR THREAD TITLE CHANGE

 

[MIMIC]

Watching this on E! right now. Mess

 

[shira]

LOL @ the title change.

I prefered M.Night of Possibilities

 

[TWrecks310]

Thank god for whatever mod changed the title

 

[jack_package_200]

There were tons of morons just in this thread

Thats fair.

 

[msdstc]

Yeah I realize that

You know what I think I just hate his character too much. I can really relate to him and I'm letting a bias get to me. I hate myself the way he hates himself.



That was weird I heard that from the other room like what the fuck

Why do you hate him?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Forget about this Oscar talk, Black Twitter is on a roll right now.

 

[Ithil]

What's with this guy just snatching the card out of Beatty's hand. Have some respect you clown.

Dude he just had the Best Picture Oscar put in his hand, had him give a speech thanking his family and co-workers, then ripped it away from him. A mix of emotions is quite ok in such a scenario. That he went to show everyone the real winner right away was the correct thing to do.

A shitty reaction would have been refusing to accept the mistake.

 

[Floridian]

Approved Title Change.

 

[FTF]

With the way the nights been going it's going to be toss up between it and LLL.

Maybe LLL best director, Moonlight best picture to spilt it up?

oh sweet summer child...

just saying

 

[Rhaknar]

When Warren hands her the card he has a "this cant be righ, right?" look on his face and she just blarts out La La Land lol

 

[KRod-57]

#TrumpWasRight

lol well why not? that's the same rationale people used to say he was right about Sweden

 

[Memento]

that bald guy was too angry towards Warren Beaty though,

like jeez, relax

Yeah, really weird
