Fantastic Beasts won an oscar while Rogue One didn't win dick. WB > Disney.

It's fucked up that Suicide Squad won an Oscar for Best Makeup, but Ben Affleck didn't win an award for Best Head.
No not at all.
Beatty tried to explain the situation as best he could while one giant group of people replaced another. Also Beatty was aware enough to know something was wrong. He just handled it poorly by handing it over to Dunaway who immediately just read the name of the movie.
The situation needed an explanation. And then the Moonlight people got a good couple of minutes to speek. And throughout all of this, Kimmel handled himself well. He then closed out the show while semi taking responsibility for it all, which he had nothing to do with.

Look at the facts, people thought suicide squad would bomb, it makes a respectful amount. Gets nominated for an Oscar wins said Oscar. No marvel movies what so ever win an Oscar.
Respect must be given and non belevers must hold this L
I can't tell if this is a joke post.

Honestly, I thought for second there he was part of the Oscars, like he was part of the crew and he was trying to contain the fuck up of his own show. Didn't realize he was actually the "recipient" of the award... All things considered, the dude did a splendid job, maybe if he was less nervous and less forceful yank at the envelope from the hands of a legend, things would've been smoother?? sure... but I ain't even mad

The Mandela Effect is growing stronger. The alternate timelines have begun to clash.
Jordan Horowitz is the only hero in this whole situation. Everyone else fucked up.
Here are my ratings:
Jordan Horowitz (5 stars):
Hero, wanted Moonlight people to get up asap. Took control when everyone else was just fucking around and his co-producer had the audacity to give a thank you speech.
Warren Beatty (0 stars):
Knew something was wrong, but didn't have the presence of mind to call a producer. Possibly because he's old. Then spends all this time explaining himself instead of giving Moonlight people the attention.
Jimmy Kimmel (0 stars):
Suggests LLL people should keep Oscar, spends an hour joking, hemming and hawing over the mistake instead of giving Moonlight people the attention.
Faye Dunaway (-1 stars):
Didn't read the card and blurted out the first thing she saw. Maybe your co-presenter isn't fucking around and there's a legitimate issue?
Fred Berger (-34 stars):
Worst of the worst. Knows he lost, gives thank you speech anyway

Just woke up to see this, hah oh boy what a goof.
That director guy took the bull by the horns.
I'm sure Faye just blurted it out instead of reading it like Warren did as he obviously saw it was wrong but she didn't process it and boom.

Good for her, #protectleo2017
"I gave you the card to see why I'm confused, not to fucking READ IT OUT LOUD!"

And props to her regardless of what happened for speaking up and not hiding her anger that Moonlight got disrespected like that

What the hell is wrong with Faye? She (and everyone else) thought that he was just being cute, and he literally handed it to her. If he had a legitimate issue, it's reasonable to suspect he'd voice it instead of flail around. Seems like an ideal time to just blurt out what you see.
This thread is crazy town of harsh judgement.

lol Faye Dunaway is the bad guy, even though her crime is reading a few words off a card that Warren Beatty desperately thrust at her.

man this outrage is absurd. it's a makeup oscar, which is rightly deserved.
if a piece of crap has good visual effects or makeup or costumes or whatever then why not award it.
Jungle Book has more awards than Gary Oldman :3

She seems kinda pissed, though would be hard to blame her. It also seems like she's implying it's not true that Beatty had the best actress card? I thought someone zoomed in on it in his hand and you could actually see it said "best lead actress" on the envelope? Most likely explanation is that there were 2 cards for whatever reason, not that somebody is lying.
Like when you blew your stack on me for calling Michael Vick a scumbag?

Is this a serious post? My god. Jimmy did the best he could. This team just got some extremely terrible news and he was trying to make them feel better. He didn't say to keep Moonlights oscar, he said he wished everyone could get one.
Shame on him for making the losers feel better
But...thats exactly what he did by going so far as to say
And the Academy Award
For Best Picture
*hands over card*
Honestly, don't blame Faye. Don't blame Beatty. Don't blame bald dude for being harsh in a difficult situation. Blame shitty organization that made this possible.

I don't know if you're just being cheeky, but let's try to cut out the whole armchair quarterbacking on what people should and shouldn't have done in the middle of an unprecedented fuckup in front of millions of people in a show broadcast live worldwide.
EDIT: That also goes to me. I said Horowitz was being too rude for snatching the card from Warren, but he was clearly just trying to get the Moonlight crew up on stage as soon as possible to let them have their moment of celebration.
I don't really blame Faye because she's really just there to present and not to apply quick thinking skills when stuff goes wrong, especially when it's been a loooooooong night. BUT let's be honest. It's fucking hilarious that she so blatantly missed the cue and just read it out immediately. It's comically tragic.
Personally thought Trek deserved it a little more mainly because the make-up for SS really didn't feel like it went out of its way to do anything apart from Croc both technical and design-wise.
That being said, I thought we were all just fucking around on getting upset over that win. This shit is not worth getting worked up over whatsoever.

Subete no aware
Yes, there are two people each carrying a set of cards to hand out to presenters.
It's all a gigantic conspiracy, don't you see? The reverse vampires are in collaboration with the rand organisation who have insisted that the Oscars should be given to Moonlight.
There's apparently a backup card, so there are two best actress cards. She probably mentioned it because it only added to the confusion that she was holding the same card in her hands.
No one uses Oscars as a measure of cinematic greatness. Kurosawa never won an Oscar, neither has Lynch.
I'm so sorry.
? That's not Harley if that's what you were trying to say...
I got upset for a lot of different reasons if you wanna bring it up. Mainly because white people have treated Vick like he's still a pos despite doing something that Mel has never done for saying he hoped someone got raped by a pack of niggers, apologizing and atoning.
But that's a different subject entirely.

Question to those who are blaming the incompetence on Beatty (not many here) and those who are blaming Dunaway for the fuck up...
If you were in her position, or Warren's ...You are given the responsibility to announce the Best Picture Oscar with a "legit" envelope in your hand ... You open the envelope, things look a bit off, as in there is a single actress' name along with one of the Movie titles in your (Best Picture) category... You got literally millions of people watching you around the world on TV and a couple of hundred or so in a theater staring at you live!
1) Would you take an executive decision, halt the show and look off stage and say this envelope doesn't seem right..
2) Would you just go with whatever is there and announce the first movie title you see inside the envelope?
You gotta have balls of steel and confidence size of the moon, to take initiative and go with option 1 in my opinion, it's almost impossible, almost...

And thus, 2016/2017 marked the beginning of the age of confusion.

ppfff at that rating
fuck Jordan Horowitz for being so angry and trying to look like "the good guy" for handing over the oscar to Moonlight personally, that's not his job to so.
calm down, chill, get off the stage

There's zero excuse here. The guy on the right KNEW. Meh. Feel really bad for the first guy though.
Yep. Jerk on the right knew well before giving his speech. That's a really really shit thing to do. Then to have the Gaul to have shitty attitude of
"We lost by the way though, but, you know"
What a classless jerk.
There are two cards each. She didn't know this when giving the interview.

I...uh, wait what?
Wait are you serious here? I can't tell with this thread anymore
I do disagree with the Jungle Book and Suicide Squad wins, however I'm not outraged. I'm amused because in this categories the winners are always extremely predictable. With the list I simply wanted to add some humor,so please forgive me for leaving a completely wrong impression.
The production team of the actual awards show was completely incognito and not taking charge of shit.
Really a complete shit show of incompetence by the Oscar producers.

The only logical response is to say "this isn't the right envelope," not to guess that you might get best picture right.
He said that in direct response to Kimmel joking that he should keep it, which he rightfully understood to be disrespectful to the real winners. He was just stating emphatically that the award would go to Moonlight while trying to emphasize he held no ill will toward the winners. Nothing wrong with that.

for instance all the nerd blogs are crying about it as we speak.

Some people do, that's why studios shout it from the hill tops in advertising. As far as any superhero movie in the year Suicide Squad was the only movie the Academy deemed worthy of winning a category.
I think it's bizarre that you think the reason people hate Vick is because of race. Using racial slurs vs. torturing and murdering animals. Both of them have "apologized". I think they're both trash.
