This is apparently an 'actress in a leading role' envelope in Warren's hand? Can't confirm -- (link) - ty97 Feb 26, 22:07
and watching the replay that will hopefully the only time that one of the nominees announces the winner for one of their fellow nominess -- nm - JD Feb 26, 22:05
Rewatching video, it was one of the La La folks who announced the mistake? - ty97 Feb 26, 22:04 7

  - He was hilarious. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 26, 22:08
- I can't imagine anyone from the production side wants to go anywhere near the microphone, on pain of lawyers. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 26, 22:06 1
  - Someone could have had a heart attack watching that. - Loyola Feb 26, 22:08
- Yes and he struggled to convince the Moonlight people he was serious. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 26, 22:05 1

Lost in his insanity is how huge it is that Moonlight won. -- nm - Tim Feb 26, 21:54 14
- I am THRILLED it won. I am pissed that it had its moment stolen and I am pissed that the La La Land people had to go through that. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:55 1
  - Moment stolen and forever immortalized at the same time. I will never forget that movie now -- nm - Bacon Feb 26, 21:57
- [deleted] 11
  - black gay people, to boot. -- nm - Tim Feb 26, 21:56 3
    - [deleted] 1
      - I said all along it could never win. I wanted it to win, but this is an amazing shocker. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 22:11
    - black gay impoverished people to boot. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:57

  - It's sad that it is such a meh movie.. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 26, 21:55 4
    - Mmhmm. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 21:57
    - Art is subjective of course, but it is an utterly phenomenal movie and completely deserving this honor. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:56 2
      - I don't hate it, and I wanted it to speak to me, but it didn't.. - Marlowe Feb 26, 22:00 1

Emma Stone backstage: "I was also holding my Best Actress card at that time ... I don’t know what happened." -- (link) - budice Feb 26, 21:53 3
- [deleted] 2
  - yeah. Now *that* looks bad for PwC. -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 22:09
  - E! just showed a close up of the envelope in Warren's hand and the outside said Actress in a Leading Role -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 21:59
This will make future montages a bit awkward. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 21:53
Hell, I was annoyed 3:39 into the ceremony, Warren was stalling on an obvious winner. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:50 4
- I said to you right about that point, look, his hands are shaking. I don't think he's trying to be funny! -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 21:55
- When he looked into the envelop again, I thought something was wrong, like it was a nominee lists or something like that. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 21:54
- Right. "Quit grandstanding, Warren." -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 21:51 1
  - It still doesn't count as relevance, Warren. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 26, 21:52
Okay, aside from that, what was the worst joke/moment of the Oscars? The OJ joke? -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:50 6
- I think the Jimmy Kimmy / Matt Damon feud / bromance was the best thing, by far.. - Marlowe Feb 26, 21:53 1
  - Zoo was great, but it dragged. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 26, 21:56
- I loved it. The bits worked and Kimmel was funny. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:51 2
  - Kimmel was FAR better than I would have ever expected. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:51 1
    - That's what I'm thinking, there really weren't any groaner moments. Sting's song was boring, and The Rock was a little full of himself, but -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:53
- the 50 Shades actors attempting chemistry. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 21:50
Hollywood picks up quick -- (link) - budice Feb 26, 21:49
"Gee, I wonder what people will be talking about at work tomorrow." - Academy Producers - Mop Feb 26, 21:49 2
- Kind of embarrassing for Hollywood if they can't even run an awards show right. -- nm - Loyola Feb 26, 21:50 1
  - It was crazy...and embarrassing...but, entertaining. Had that happened opposite (Moonlight ---> La La) I'd be pissed...but La La had their share of - Flavorize Feb 26, 21:52
There must have been 2 cards in that envelope. There was nothing on the card the LLL producer held up that said 'Emma Stone' or 'La La Land'. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 21:44 20
- You can see Warren looking in the envelope for another card. I'm assuming they had brought out the correct envelope by then. -- nm - kelly Feb 26, 22:06
- Matt Damon had the last laugh. Kimmel's place in history is solidly to be remembered for hosting this Oscars. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 21:51 7
  - In the beginning, he kept saying how great a movie was, but no one saw it...did it 3-4 times in a row...Letterman-esque running a joke into the ground -- nm - Flavorize Feb 26, 21:57
  - His last jab...about hoping Damon loses an Oscar, was one step too far -- nm - Flavorize Feb 26, 21:53 1
    - that look on Damon's face was "jesus, enough" -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:55
  - though he had precisely zero to do with this. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 21:52 3
    - Are you sure?.- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 21:55 1
      - I mean, Guillermo, maybe. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 21:57
    - That's what he wants you to think... - Mel Profit Feb 26, 21:54
- [deleted]
- Though Emma Stone just said that she was holding her envelope the whole time. -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 21:49
- Daryl was in the rafters and shot the offending card out of his hand with an arrow. -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:48
- It's a literal example of "you had one job". -- nm - David's iPad Feb 26, 21:47
- One of the guy was obviously chasing the red enveloppes. At some point I saw him pick one from someone, then kept searching and found another one - Guigue Feb 26, 21:47
- They had brought out the right card by then. -- nm - Dano Feb 26, 21:46
- Unless they brought out the winner card and took Beatty's. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:46
- It was two envelopes. So either there was a duplicate Emma Stone one somehow, or Leo handed his to the wrong stage manager in the wings. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 26, 21:46 3
  - There's always a duplicate. -- nm - Ender Feb 26, 22:11
  - The RCA on this is going to be very interesting. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:48 1
    - American Crime Story's next season writes itself. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 21:50
And to be fair, this is only the second biggest disaster Warren Beatty's been involved in in the past six months. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 21:43 3
- beatty never said the wrong winner, right? it was faye, let's get her! -- nm - dogbert Feb 26, 21:53 1
  - Something was obviously off, and she thought he was fucking around. - ty97 Feb 26, 21:54
- Heyooooo -- nm - Tim Feb 26, 21:44
Love this tweet -- (link) - Flavorize Feb 26, 21:42 1
- There are good tweets from M Night Shyamalan and Nate Silver out there. So good. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 26, 21:44
Two days ago: -- (link) - Reagen Feb 26, 21:41 3
- Interesting that the person who came out was neither of those people. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:50 1
  - ah "they are prepared to tell the nearest stage manager, who will immediately alert the show’s producers. " -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:51
- They forgot to knock on wood -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 21:45
you know, this might explain shakespeare in love - dogbert Feb 26, 21:41 2
- hot damn, this is like when the cop in the movie/tv show goes down for corruption and all his previous cases are reopened! -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:42
- I still want a recount on that one. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 21:42
I'd love to hear what happened backstage. Who caught the error? He ran out on stage to correct it? That must have been a chaotic 60 seconds. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 21:40
People who would have handled that less gracefully: Phil Hellmuth. Jim Harbaugh. -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:40 2
- Kanye. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 21:43
- Donnie Drumpf.. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 26, 21:41
This could become a fantastic meme -- (link) - Max Feb 26, 21:36 1
- Gonna be like Trumps EOs -- nm - budice Feb 26, 21:36
I want after party livestreams so badly. -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:34
We really all are on Earth-2 you know right? You all do realize that? -- nm - Jovian Feb 26, 21:34 2
- Someone point me towards Gorilla City. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 21:35
- The computer simulation is starting to glitch. -- nm - David Feb 26, 21:35
"And the Oscar goes to.... Hidden Fences!" -- nm - TWuG Feb 26, 21:33 2
- The Academy Twitter acct had it wrong too -- nm - budice Feb 26, 21:36
- " ~ Gladiator ~ " -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:35
In offense of Beaty, looking at the Moonlight card, there probably was a Best Actress note in his Emma Stome card.. -- nm - Marlowe Feb 26, 21:32
I thought a random, crazy person was attacking La La Land cast/crew--I saw folks running behind them...that was crazy -- nm - Flavorize Feb 26, 21:32
CNN has the story wrong. Warren Beatty announced "La La Land" as the winner of the Best Picture award -- nm - Bacon Feb 26, 21:32 1
- He did his best to not...what a cluster -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:36
[deleted] 28
- fairly or not, agreed. -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 21:36 27
  - There's no fairly or unfairly. They are supposed to step in immediately. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:39 26
    - What's worse? Turning them away in the aisle or breaking the news on stage? -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 21:54 3
      - On stage a minute into their triumphant speech. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:56
      - Turning them away 90% into their acceptance speech is far worse. Don't let them get on stage if you can avoid it. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:55 1
        
        Having the La La Land people turn it over to Moonlight seems to have been the best of a horrible situation. -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 21:58
    - [deleted] 8
      - The story Reagen linked above says the accountants (2 people who both know ALL winners) relay the flub to the stage managers - TWuG Feb 26, 21:53 2
        
        “Whether that entails stopping the show, us walking onstage, us signaling to the stage manager — that’s really a game-time decision, - JD Feb 26, 21:56 1
        
        Wanna guess what gets proceduralized next year? - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:58
      - Because its a theater production and live television broadcast with dozens of moving parts, involving people who don't know most of what's actually going on. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 26, 21:51 4
        
        This. - Ender Feb 26, 22:22
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        "immediately" is a relative term in showbusiness. -- nm - znufrii Feb 26, 21:59 1
        
        If the 45 second rule was in effect, La La is off the stage and Kimmel has signed off. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 22:01
    - They have one job. Hand the people the right envelope. -- nm - pmb Feb 26, 21:43 4
      - Well there's the sending of the ballots, collecting them and counting part.... -- nm - JD Feb 26, 21:46 3
        
        Ok they had one job tonight. -- nm - pmb Feb 26, 22:04
        
        THEY HAVE TWO JOBS... AND ALSO PROBABLY ANOTHER, MORE REGULAR ONE - Reagen Feb 26, 21:48
        
        and keeping results secret...though might have gone a step too far with that one. The presenters should probably know at the appropriate moment -- nm - JD Feb 26, 21:48
    - I'm pretty sure that no other accounting firm is held to a live reflexes standard. Though no other firm does the Oscars - JD Feb 26, 21:42 1
      - Unless their own stories are bullshit, the rep is there to head this exact issue off -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:45
    - I can't imagine too many people knew -- nm - JaxSean Feb 26, 21:41 3
      - The rule is the guy or guys are standing in the wing. Like literally close enough to be to the podium before the 'winner' -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:43 2
        
        Read the link above. They are. But they don't step in, they alert production. -- nm - ty97 Feb 26, 21:53
        
        [deleted]
    - you have 30-plus people crowding onto the stage, thinking they know what they're supposed to be doing, it takes time to head that off. - znufrii Feb 26, 21:41
    - Yeah, it's always been said that they know what should be read and are ready to step in if things go awry. That shouldn't take 60 seconds. - TWuG Feb 26, 21:41
*angrily snatches card, holds high* "MOONLIGHT, BEST PICTURE!" - David Feb 26, 21:31 7
- I thought he handled that very well but in retrospect the snatching may have appeared hostile. Was Beatty holding the envelope? -- nm - Mop Feb 26, 21:51
- I was fascinated by that. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 26, 21:35 1
  - In some ways I think this what The Mighty Mighty Bosstones song "The Impression That I Get" was really about. -- nm - Reagen Feb 26, 21:36
- That dude saved that moment as best as anyone could have. - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:35 3
  - seemed at first he couldn't read the card because he wasn't wearing reading glasses -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 26, 21:43 1
    - Rewatching...he knew something was hinky -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 26, 21:44
  - That guy was great. -- nm - Diva Feb 26, 21:35
In non-Picture screwup news -- (link) - Reagen Feb 26, 21:29 2
- During that moment it looked like his eyes had already watered up. -- nm - Max Feb 26, 21:30
- Second most awkward moment of the night. Not by that much -- nm - Guigue Feb 26, 21:29
PERIOD. -- nm - Sean Spicer Feb 26, 21:28
