In the most shocking mix-up in Oscars history, Moonlight won best picture at the Academy Awards — but only after presenter Faye Dunaway announced La La Land as the winner, setting off mass confusion inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
“I want to tell you what happened,” co-presenter Warren Beatty explained after the mix-up was revealed. “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.”
“Well, I don’t know what happened. I blame myself for this,” Kimmel joked after the moment. “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 have 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!”

A fitting end for a disgusting show. Of course you will mess up when your focus in on POTUS and not your entertainment business. I only watched 10 mins of it and just when I thought I could watch a little more I see Robert DeNiro with his nasty comment for a mean tweet (which wasn’t mean at all). He used to be one of my favorites but recently has shown to have a few screws loose. A pity.
I guess Price Waterhouse won’t be doing the Oscars next year….
