Yup, you read that right. It's the only way to describe what went down last night. I will never be over that awkward, confusing and embarrassing ending. It took me a while to put my thoughts into words (my heart, stomach and liver are happy after another successful Oscars party). Warren Beatty looked a little confused as he hesitated announcing La La Land as the Best Picture winner. Halfway through their acceptance speech, Warren, Jimmy Kimmel and a producer rushed the stage to say there was a mistake - Moonlight won. Holy effing shit. This was not happening, it must have been a joke gone wrong. Turns out the people responsible for the envelopes gave Warren the wrong envelope - the one for Best Actress that had "Emma Stone, La La Land" on it. The producers of La La Land were extremely classy in the way they handled it inviting the Moonlight peeps onto the stage to have their moment. Like I said before, I will never be over this. Miss Universe tweeted The Academy saying, "Have your people contact our people, we know what to do." Steve Harvey even put in his 2 cents as he was the butt of all jokes when he announced the wrong winner at Miss Universe. Did I say that I'll never be over this? Other things happened, like Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel taking their feud to the award show, candy fell from the ceiling, the kid from Lion (Sunny Pawar) killed us all with cuteness, Justin Timberlake had us all dancing right at the start of the show, and tourists stumbled into the Dolby Theatre not knowing they were walking into a place filled with the biggest stars. As for the winners of the big awards, La La Land's Damien Chazelle won Best Director, Emma Stone (La La Land) won Best Actress and Casey Affleck (Manchester By The Sea) won Best Actor. That's the best I can do in summing up a wild night. Did you tune in? What were your highs and lows? Comment below! |
