So the new story is that they screwed up..which happens, granted. But....Warren Beatty says that the awkward little pause was because the card read "Emma Stone-La La Land"...which was the award given out two awards before (the order went actress, actor, picture)...so now we're supposed to believe they resealed the envelope with the card inside? I say that because if you watch the video we have a new, freshly opened envelope with the "Moonlight" card being shown.
Still dont buy it...admit it was the payback awards for OSW and you got caught. Beatty's pause could just as easily have been because they knew "Moonlight" was supposed to be the winner.
BTW, since I know most of you havent heard of, much less seen, the "best picture"...its about a young gay black man growing up with his addict prostitute mother and drug dealer friends, who grows up to become a dealer himself and reconciling with his first gay experience at the end. Nothing uplifting like "Hidden Figures" (the real best black headed film of the year. "Arrival" was my best picture overall, with HF coming a very close 2nd), nothing soul searching like "Fences" (where Denzel got screwed out of his Best Actor prize).
Nope...we get drug dealer/addict/whore stereotypes, but hey...at least this time the protagonist is gay.
Good work Oscar. I'm done with you.
