I wonder if this ‘mix-up’ wasn’t related to yesterday’s DNC shooting down the black man for a Latino white-hater.

Maybe Carville called up the black Oscar President and said ‘fix this or lose the blacks from the plantation forever’.

She was nervous, and mis-read her teleprompter.

Huffington Compost with La La land at 98.2% chance of winning best picture.

Interesting. So he had a warning. Why two printed? Puts all of them in question.

I still remember her in the original Thomas Crown Affair. Her and Steve McQueen playing Chess. Amazing scene.

"Hacksaw Ridge was very good."

I just watched that on Friday, and found it a very moving picture. I'm 69, grew up knowing all about Audie Murphy, but had never heard of Desmond Doss.

Better if the tweets were bitter and mean spirited, unfair and exaggerated.

Perhaps there was a second best actress card in error. I read several years ago, that only one person in the accounting firm knows the winners. He is required to memorize the winners in case there is a mistake and this person is backstage watching.

Yes, miss m, I was wondering that myself. He definitely was not quick on his feet, but he probably never expected to be in that situation.

miss m., I have not seen one of your posts in a while, so nice to see one.

Both of my parents were WWII veterans... I’m amazed I also had never heard of Desmond Doss before.

"Same here... a real shame at only age 61. I believe Bill was from Texas. "

Just checked. He was born in Fort Worth. In the latest episode (#4) of his TV series "Training Day," Paxton's character opens the program with a brief comment about the brave men who fought together at the Alamo. At one point towards the end of the episode, when Paxton and his fellow cops are under fire from a large Yukuza gang, the creators chose to play a recording of Johnny Cash singing his "Remember the Alamo" ballad. Up until that time, I don't believe I'd ever heard the song before.

At this level, there shouldn't be this type of error. Should be, as Rush says, double sourced and triple checked. Whomever that 'one person' is at the accounting firm should have gone over these envelopes many times. Letting two envelopes go that were exactly the same is highly suspect.

Yeah but “Moonlight” pleases the gay lobby so it’s a two-fer, blacks and gays happily on the libtard plantation in one “Best Picture”....

No, Hollywood won't go down that route. The accounting firm is the only one that knows the winner anyway, but this will overshadow their self righteous speeches/comments which is OK with me.

No, Trump needs to stay out of it. He should be above stuff like that. I think he is slowly learning his tweets only provide fodder to mock him. Tweeting about Streep was not advisable. The other side got much more mileage out of it than he did.

There is a place for his tweets, but not this. His tweets should be strategic and policy oriented and not about Hollywood.

Trump does not need to get even by tweeting a response. Instead, Trump gets even by having his agenda passed by Congress.

Just think how many people are flushing their money away to support these ingrates’ movies in America.

but SomeCallMeTim "LOVE[s] movies.. I always have. I hope I always do."

Some people just don't understand the consequences of their actions.

To be fair to him, he had what he assumed was The envelope, and he probably didn’t look at the cover of it, they read the nominees, and he opened the one envelope he had, assuming it was correct. Then he sees it read “ Emma Stone - LaLa Land.” So he didn’t read it aloud. He looked in the envelope for another card. He looked at the monitor to see if it would help. Nothing. Faye is growing impatient. He shows her. She reads the film title, ignoring the Emma Stone name.

And the fact that there were two identical Emma Stone actress win envelopes doesn’t put any wins in question at all. There weren’t two winners of best picture.

No, am not faulting Beatty. He got dealt a bum card. :) (It's late) and you are correct in it really doesn't put any wins in question. Just puts a pall on the whole evening.

FWIW, I'm not an avid moviegoer, but hadn't even heard of the movie that won.

You are correct. An error of this sort should never happen at such a high profile event. I just saw on the LA Times website that there are always two cards - one for both sides of the stage. I have not read the story yet, but they have several articles on how it happened. I went there since I assumed LA Times knows how to cover their local industry. However it happened, Steve Harvey is probably a bit relieved at the moment.

Steve Harvey should be ecstatic. He is no longer the biggest screw-up in awards history!

The announcement of the Best Picture Oscar Winner was yesterday’s Fake News.

coming on the heels of the previous fake news announcement of some beauty pageant winner.
