He won't get the credit he deserved. Not to long ago, he was getting crushed. I even assumed it was because his pagent was low rate. Now to see his peers get it amazingly wrong. Wow.
Even their response, quick, showing people the envelope, trying to correct it on stage and quickly.
Emma gonna help fuel some fire but there is a pic showing the wrong card in Beatty's hand.
And him rechecking the envelope, like, 'is there another form in here' kinda shows some goof just handed him the wrong card. They need to release a statement, confirming there are back up cards or something. A backup card makes sense. If you lose one, the whole show looks like a mess. So, you have a second one.
Now they need a procedure where Beatty announces that he has the wrong card. He knew and let the lady announce it, instead of stopping everything in it's tracks. This is not one person's fault but a series of missteps by multiple people that creates this mess.
Things would be a lot easier if LL Land never got on stage. Or held the oscars. Or Jimmy Krimmel trying to joke his way out of it. Every joke he made was off. I kinda wish we didn't have his ass on there trying to be comedic relief at that point. Every re-watch makes me want him to STFU. Some people went home last night and cried because they touched an oscar that wasn't theirs.
I'm kinda wanting the Steve Harvey approach. Just 10 minutes of apologies would have been better than off-the-top wise cracks. Every time someone stepped to the microphone to correct or speak in a respected manner, did more for the show than any wise cracks.
But in retrospect, Steve got shitted on for a terrible card layout (why even put anyone else on the card but the winner?) and this one seemed much worse.
