I long for the day when black people/movies can win Oscars for being...happy...like in La La Land rather than being broken.

I I suppose our brokeness is entertainment to those who do not live our lives.

 

[overcast]

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

Almost.

Suicide squad has more oscars :[

They have more than one copy of each card.

There's a dupe card backstage for win confirmation. That was the one that Warren ended up with it. Makes perfect sense; no conspiracy nonsense at work.

The card snatch is a producer singlehandedly trying to regain focus and get a ship back on track.

Which is kinda what producers do.

You can see him trying to stop his crew from stomping off, trying to get the moonlight crew to come up and get those awards, and trying to make sure the audience understands what the fuck is actually happening, as fast as he can, all at the same time, on live television, while processing the fact he just lost Best Picture.

I'm not gonna begrudge him whipping the card out of Warren's hand.

Yeah, there's some edge there, but it's not like you can expect him to grasp everything about the situation, including whose to blame in the moment, and he's obviously affected by it all. No problem with how he handled it.

 

[Via Purifico]

Yeah! Not like his dream or anything was ruined live on TV in front of billions and within seconds of thinking he realized it, right? What a DICK.

/s

Right? like where the fuck are these posts even coming from?. All he did was snatch the card out of his hand and for good reason as they were stalling and he wanted to make sure Moonlight got its award.

lol

So there's multiple copies of the winner cards or what?

Pretty sure there are back up cards just in case one if misplaced.

Lol tin foil hats time.

That was easily the best Oscars of all time. I can't BELIEVE I almost didn't watch.

Yeah, DiCaprio had put the card back inside and so someone on Twitter with a checkmark tried to start some shit and say he must have handed it to a producer. Glad Emma Stone is clarifying already.

 

[msdstc]

Because he's a hypocrite, he's a drunk and like I said I can relate to his character. There's a deep self-loathing there. I was being too inflammatory towards the acting I admit

Meh I feel bad for him, I don't hate him at all.

[What did he mean by this?]

Could it be....

The absolute madman!

This is very true, btw.

 

[Kaizer]

Hah! Yesssssss

 

[outunderthestars]

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."

That is my take as well. He is embarassed, angry, and upset that the audience thinks that he is joking. He takes the award seriously and offers to hand them the Oscar himself.

I think people here are overreacting to him snatching the card.

 

[Qwyjibo]

They have more than one copy of each card.

Done.

Exactly. How is that so hard to realize? Someone fucked up and gave the presenters a copy of the Best Actress envelope. This is all on the people running the Oscars.

 

[GabeTheGrouch76]

By the by guys, this is a legendary thread in the making. We'll probably not have another Oscar choke like this again, let's cherish this fallout.

 

[manzoman96]

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.

Yeah that's gotta be crushing. Props to them with handling it with such poise. If that were me I don't think I would be able to hold my disappointment back.

The best is how he reintroduces himself to the crowd to explain it

He has NO right to be mad at Beatty

How do you even function in a professional environment if you're assigning this guy's frustration and wanting to quickly clear up the audience's confusion as personal anger towards Beatty? I mean, seriously. I'd hate to be the guy that raises their voice within earshot of you at the office, lest you think you're being personally accosted.

Completely agree. I thought he handled the situation really well. That could have gotten a lot more chaotic.

He definitely took the backup card.

 

[depths20XX]

Glad they took it away from "my beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed wife" guy

Very weird thing to say

He didn't said "blonde haired".

He said he was inspired by his beautiful blue-eyed wife.

What the fuck is wrong with some of you? Dude cant compliment his wife?

 

[Granjinha]

He didn't make the god damn mistake

He didn't announce it. He was obviously confused?

Whoever handed him the wrong card is fucked. No need to shit on a great actor for something that wasn't even his fucking fault.

Who cares? The guy's rightly pissed. He didn't offend Beatty nor anything. I would think that he is being far more understanding than a bunch of guys on forum getting offended by someone who probably understands the producer's position.

Just stop, really.

 

[PlatypusDude]

Bloodborne just so good it won two years in a row.

 

[j-wood]

The worst part of this fuck up is Trump is going to be like "haha look at these amateurs! Sad!"

And his supporters are going to fucking eat it up.

She's a charmer, for sure.

I lol'ed at the crack whore tweet, haha.

La La Land blew a 28-3 lead to Moonlight.

Somehow, someone gave Beatty the backup Best Actress envelope instead of the Best Picture envelope. That someone is getting fired tomorrow.

 

[JTripper]

Leo was behind it the whole time!

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Now you just know this is what Trump will respond with right? He'll make fun about how the Hollywood elites poking fun are just fuck ups.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

...why the fuck did the presenters continue on when it clearly said EMMA STONE on it?

Because it also says La La Land.

 

[uncredited male]

I want to see the card they first had that made them decide LLL was the winner.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Imagine if Beatty got the Editing envelope and we all briefly thought Mel Gibson was king of the world again.

Man the possibilities are just endless!

 

[Radec]

Lmao @ the title change.

Saying he has a right to be mad at Beatty is wrong, and I pointed that out. If someone gets mad and takes it out on others not responsible? Yeah that's a problem.

Almost.

Oh God, don't remind me of this.
