BIGGEST OSCAR DISASTER IN HISTORY...

Epic Oscars Mistake: Faye Dunaway, Warren Beatty Announce Wrong Best Picture Winner

The presenters for the final award — Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway — were incorrectly given the best actress award envelope. A confused Beatty saw Emma Stone’s name and “La La Land,” and handed the envelope to Dunaway, who then announced the musical as the Best Picture winner.

The “La La Land” cast took the stage and producers began their speeches. But they stopped midway when they realized their error.

“There’s a mistake. ‘Moonlight’ you guys won best picture,” Jordan Horowitz said to the shocked Dolby Theater audience. “This is not a joke, come up here” the producer added. “Moonlight has won best picture.”

Beatty then returned to the microphone to explain: “I want to tell you what happened. I opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone, ‘La La Land.’ That’s why I took such a long look at Faye and at you. I wasn’t trying to be funny.”

These perverts are beyond hope and are completely incapable of creating anything anyway resembling entertainment.

And they get paid ungodly sums to put out complete, utter, degenerative trash.

Talk about race pandering.  This kind of shit is why I refuse to go to a movie theater.

============

The award was given to Moonlight after presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway wrongfully announced that La La Land had won best picture. As the film's producers were making their acceptance speeches, producer Jordan Horowitz informed viewers that the category's winner was actually Moonlight, and showed the card announcing the winner to the camera. Beatty then informed the stunned audience of the mixup, as he and Dunaway had mistakenly read off the card for best actress, which was presented to La La Land's Emma Stone just minutes before.

"I hope that it's inspiring to people, little black boys and brown girls and other folks watching at home who feel marginalized," said producer Adele Romanski onstage, alongside fellow producers Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. "Take some inspiration from seeing this beautiful group of artists helmed by this amazing talent [Jenkins]."
