The blackest film possible apparently about a black kid with gay problems.

Squeaky wheel gets the oil.

Even though they tried not to

Everyone happy now?

Here is a transcript of the scene, from beginning to end. Grab your popcorn.


Warren Beatty: And the academy award [hesitates] for best picture… [hesitates again]

Faye Dunaway: You’re impossible. C’mon.

Mr. Beatty hands her the envelope.

Dunaway: “La La Land.”

The crowd erupts in applause, and the “La La Land” cast approaches the stage.




Jordan Horowitz, a “La La Land” producer: Thank you, thank you all. Thank you to the academy. Thank you to Lionsgate. Thank you to our incredible cast and crew. We’re all up here right now. Thank you to Jamie Feldman and Gary Gilbert. Thank you to my parents for supporting my choice to pursue a career in the arts, even though it was a little bit crazy. Arthur Horowitz, you are my fantasy baby. And to my kind, generous, talented, beautiful, blue-eyed wife and creative partner, Julia Hart, you have inspired me to become the man I am right now and more importantly, the man I’m still becoming. There’s a lot of love in this room, and let’s use it to create and champion bold and diverse work — work that inspires us towards joy, towards hope and towards empathy.

Marc Platt, a “La La Land” producer: Here’s to the fools who made me dream: my uncle Gary Platt; my mentor, Sam Cohn; my parents; my children; my wife Julie, on whose shoulders I’ve stood for 40 years because she insisted I reach for the stars. And to the Hollywood community that I’m so proud to be a part of. And to the Hollywood and the hearts and minds of people everywhere, repression is the enemy of civilization. So keep dreaming, because the dreams we dream today will provide the love, the compassion and the humanity that will narrate the stories of our lives tomorrow. Fred?

At this point, people onstage have clearly begun to pass around the disorienting news.

Fred Berger, a “La La Land” producer: To the love of my life, Ali Loewy, I love you. I love you so much, to my family, Mama, Papa, Jeff [unintelligible]. Matt Plouffe, you kicked this off — and Damien Chazelle, we’re standing on your shoulders. We lost, by the way, but, you know.

Horowitz: What? You guys, I’m sorry, no. There’s a mistake. “Moonlight,” you guys won best picture.

Members of the “Moonlight” team rise from their seats and begin to approach the stage.

Jimmy Kimmel: Guys, this is very unfortunate, what happened. Personally, I blame Steve Harvey for this. I would like to see you get an Oscar, anyway. Why can’t we just give out a whole bunch of them?

Horowitz: I’m going to be really proud to hand this to my friends from “Moonlight.”

Kimmel: That’s nice of you. That’s —

The “Moonlight” cast members ascend to the stage and exchange embraces and, possibly, condolences with the cast members of “La La Land.”

Warren Beatty: Hello. Hello. I want —

Kimmel: Warren, what did you do!?

Beatty: 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.

Kimmel: Well, you were funny.

Beatty: Thank you very much, thank you very much. This is “Moonlight” — the best picture.

Barry Jenkins, “Moonlight” director: Very clearly, even in my dreams, this could not be true. But to hell with dreams — I’m done with it, because this is true. Oh, my goodness. I have to say — and it is true, it’s not fake — we’ve been on the road with these guys for so long, and that was so gracious, so generous of them. My love to “La La Land,” my love to everybody. Man.

Adele Romanski, a “Moonlight” producer: Thank you to the aca—? I don’t know what to say. That was really — I’m still not sure this is real, but thank you to the academy. And it is so humbling to be standing up here with, hopefully, still the “La La” crew? No, O.K., they’re gone, but it’s very humbling to be up here. And I hope even more than that, that it’s inspiring to people — little black boys and brown girls and other folks watching at home who feel marginalized and who take some inspiration from seeing this beautiful group of artists, helmed by this amazing talent, my friend Barry Jenkins, standing up here on this stage accepting this top honor. Thank you.

Jenkins: You know, there was a time when I thought this movie was impossible, because I couldn’t bring it to fruition. I couldn’t bring myself to tell another story. And so everybody behind me on this stage said, No, that is not acceptable. So I just want to thank everybody up here behind me. Everybody out there in that room. Because we didn’t do this. You guys chose us. Thank you for the choice. I appreciate it. Much love.

Kimmel: Well, I don’t know what happened. I blame myself for this. Let’s remember, it’s just an awards show. I mean, we hate to see people disappointed, but the good news is we got to see some extra speeches. We had some great movies. I knew I would screw this show up, I really did. Thank you for watching. I’m back to work tomorrow night on my regular show. I promise I’ll never come back. Good night.

rumour its happened before,best supporting actress,1980s, but they didnt change it

Turns out that for each category, there are two cards waiting in the wings, one on each side, as explained in a 2016 Los Angeles Times story by Valli Herman:

"In an undisclosed location, the partners tabulate votes and stuff two sets of winning envelopes, partly as another security measure and also to aid the show's flow. Stationed with their signature briefcases on opposite sides of the stage, either [PricewaterhouseCoopers partners, Brian] Cullinan or [Martha] Ruiz can dispense envelopes to presenters. At the end of the evening, each accountant will have given out about half of the envelopes.

"And the third set? 'There is no third "set" sitting somewhere that has the winning cards in the winning envelopes,' Cullinan said. However, the remaining, unstuffed envelopes and nominee cards are shipped to a second secret location, just in case some disaster prevents access to the completed sets. After the ceremony, unused cards and envelopes are destroyed by an industrial document-destruction company."

This is not the first time an incorrect winner has been announced at the Oscars. In 1964, Sammy Davis Jr. announced the wrong winner for the best music score. But he quickly realized his mistake, before an erroneous winner was giving an acceptance speech.

watching it like its live - highlights

so much better & painful
