Warren Beatty said the envelope said "Emma Stone, La La Land" (the best actress winner). He didn't know what to say. Faye Dunaway took the envelope and said La La Land. It should have been Moonlight.
Don't they check the envelopes? How embarrassing for both movies!
It sounds like Beatty wasn't the one who fucked up, but he also made sure he took himself off the hook quickly.
Somebody is in big trouble.
It was probably the most interesting thing I've ever seen from an Oscars show, and I also thought that Kimmel sort of saved the day by stepping in and making a joke or two when it was total chaos on the stage and no one knew what to do.
Overall I thought he did a real good job as host, except maybe going with the Matt Damon bit a little too long.
Emma Stone says she was holding the card that was used to announce her as best actress the whole time Dunaway and Beatty were reading the Best Picture winner, so they either duplicated the Best Actress card, or something doesn't add up.
I actually hadn't watched the Academy Awards in many many moons. When I first started watching I thought I might get bored, but somewhat surprisingly found it interesting. So I stuck with it to the end.
Kimmel did well though I agree with Lance about the Matt Damon bit being silly, or overplayed. It was ok funny at first but then yawn after the third or fourth time.
The end though. Wow. If there was a movie like that folks would say nah, that could never happen.
I'm going to sleep thinking La La Land won because I changed the channel the second Fay said it (I was hoping for Moonlight or Manchester by the Sea but of course the Academy would choose La La Land) and started watching Cubs/Indians Spring Training baseball. Then I come on here a read the first two posts and then start watching again where I stopped it.
They picked the right movie I think, which is rare. Obviously, that is a nightmare for the people who were experiencing one of the greatest moments of their lives before it was yanked away from them. How Warren/Faye were given the wrong card or maybe the wrong envelope is beyond me. Maybe have someone check before sealing those things in the future---a little quality control.
Moonlight was astounding though...really happy they got it right.
Also, I hate musicals...I've been to Phantom of the Opera and Les Mis and been bored out of my mind wile I turn to the person I'm with and she is sobbing. I think I have a chip missing when it comes to those but I really liked La La Land, which shocked the shit out of me.
Moonlight Director Barry Jenkins Reveals His Real Best Picture Acceptance Speech
Now that he's had some time to reflect on his film's achievement, director Barry Jenkins released what he had wanted to say all along:
"[Moonlight playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney] and I are this kid. We are Chiron," he says, referring to his background as a child from Liberty City, Miami, whose mother once struggled with drug addiction. "And you don't think that kid grows up to be nominated for eight Academy Awards. It's not a dream he's allowed to have. I still feel that way. I didn't think this was possible. But now I look at other people looking at me and if I didn't think it was possible, how are they going to? But now it's happened. So what I think of possibility, let's take it off the table. The thing has happened."

Maybe they should just blame Matt Damon.
