Best Picture Award

WHAT A MAJOR MISTAKE! They gave the award to the wrong group/film.

How awful for both groups, the stated winners and the real winners.

This is the only time that's ever happened.

Mistakes happen though in live tv, do you believe warren Beaty? Do you think the wrong card was in there?

I just watched the clip online. Warren showed the card to Faye and Faye barely looked at it and she called it out. Then the guy who was telling about the mistake rudely yanked the card out of Warren's hand. What a mess.

Yes I believe him. It was Faye Dunway who announced it when Warren held up the card for her to see.

I don't know, but she said it, not Beatty.

Jusr a guess, but from what Beatty said, I think there could have been two cards.

One announcing the category ES won, and the Faye/Warren card just saying ES, La La land.

Well, it was just a mistake, it happens:-)

If you didn't see it, Emma Stone did a short interview after it was over saying while the on-stage fiasco was happening, she had possession of the card announcing her win.

I believe they do give the card to the winner. Clearly Warren thought something was amiss with the card. Thats why he delayed and showed it to Faye Dunaway.

Yeah what a mess, but mistakes happen. I was cheering b.c that was DH and my favorite movie of the year..lol. PS) See my thread I won (the bet on the Oscars), then they said its a mistake and I was like WHAT?!?! I was also feeling bad b.c Emma won and Ryan didnt. Well then neither did the film. But anyway, we didnt get to see Moonlight yet, so I cant speak on how good it is sooo.

If you need glasses to read, please put them on. I have my glasses on now. Geez the La La Land people got all the way on stage holding the oscars. I feel bad for Moonlight because by the time they got up there it seemed the thrill was gone.

Hopefully it will be straightened out tonight and we'll know what happened by tomorrow.

How did the wrong card get into Beatty's hands? They robbed Moonlight of their moment and embarrassed and humiliated La La Land. I'm sure Dunaway and Beatty feel awful about the mistake.

What a let down for the actors involved, and for everyone who watched.😨

LIVE:

Just saw Jimmy Kimmel say he saw the card given to Warren and it said, "Emma Stone, La La Land." Just as Warren Beatty told us all.

I just looked at the video of what transpired with Beatty and Dunaway. My mistake. I originally thought he announced the name of the Best Picture recipient; it was Dunaway who did. Beatty appears totally baffled when he first looks at the card, and then he hands it to Dunaway to read. She just zooms right in on "La La Land," and seems okay saying it.

How did THAT card get to them? Did some mischief-maker do this on purpose to mess up the biggest annual Hollywood moment? I don't put anything past anyone.

Seems that Warren did see Emma Stone (but best actress) card. Someone behind the scene gave Warren Emma's best actress card instead of best picture card. I always thought those award cards were sealed & in a vault. What happened to Faye? She flew off the stage fast. Warren did stay & try to straighten it out.

The picture that should have won was HACKSAW RIDGE. True story, very good. The actor has a British accent in real life, but a southern drawl in the film. Shows what the Greatest Generation era went through in WW 11. Today a conscious objector would not be treated like this man was, but he saved about 75 solders on both sides in one day. He did receive a medal. Great movie. Mel Gibson didn,t expect to win, just happy it was nominated.
