the 89th Annual Academy Awards - Part 1

[Thundercrack85]

This is 90% on Beatty. You don't get the wrong evelope and decide to guess the winner.

You could tell he knew something was wrong.

He should have just walked over and asked.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Imagine if they accidentally gave Warren Beatty the hair and makeup envelope.

And Guts wins the night. Well done.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Suicide Squad lol.

 

[harryoscop]

Great show.

 

[jmc]

Emma Stone's reaction was priceless. She mouthed 'Oh My god' twice with a look of horror on her face.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I'm surrpised, the bulk of Oscar nominated movies rarely seem to be huge hits, or are you just talking in context of what they are?

Oscar nominated movies see a boost. What they are does matter. So a popular musical with legit stars will definitely do better then another flick. But something that would have made like a few million, suddenly makes 20m. La La Land making nearly 400m WW is crazy. But not when you consider its strong hold during the awards seasons.

 

[Gold Samurai]

So this really was an envelope guy mistake?

but why was the Best actress award still sealed up?

Imagine if they accidentally gave Warren Beatty the hair and makeup envelope.

Or if it was Hacksaw Ridge. The crap and profanities from Mel Gibson would have been epic. He'd probably create a new language.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

but why was the Best actress award still sealed up?

I assume they have more then one envelope for each award, for fear of losing it.

 

[Superhero 101]

Lol that was great television

 

[Jekecy]

Great show.

Agreed, I think it's the best Oscars I've seen in years. Kimmel was a fantastic host.

 

[jmc]

Oh boy, turns out there was another big error. One of the photos used in the In Memoriam segment was of the wrong person.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I assume they have more then one envelope for each award, for fear of losing it.

Maybe put what the envelope is for on the back?

 

[John Locke]

Stone says she had the Best Actress card when they announced Best Picture.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Maybe put what the envelope is for on the back?

Many things you could do. But I would hope those reading the winner would actually read what is on the damn card.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

Kimmel should've blamed Matt Damon.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

I was rooting for Moonlight so I'm happy it won.It's just a really weird awkward situation.I should've known something was off when they were reluctant to read the envelope.

 

[titansupes]

Oh boy, turns out there was another big error. One of the photos used in the In Memoriam segment was of the wrong person.

Oof.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Sara Bareilles did the In Memoriam? I might have to watch it then.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

That is his fault then.

 

[Boom]

That is his fault then.

It also has the award category at the bottom of the card itself.

It literally would have read:

Emma Stone

La La Land

Best Actress in a Leading Role

So unless Beatty decided not to read anything but the title of the movie, lol.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Are we sure Warren Beatty can read?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

It also says the award category at the bottom of the card.

It literally would have read:

Emma Stone

La La Land

Best Actress in a Leading Role

So unless Beatty decided to not read anything but the big text, lol.

I know. But apparently he didn't read it out loud. But he had the damn answer written everywhere.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Beatty grabbed Leo's envelope.

 

[titansupes]

Ouch. Okay yeah, he clearly knew it was wrong and just decided to take a crack at it and hope for the best anyway.
