Boycott the Academy Awards!

[Ns1]

I wonder if Beatty originally got the wrong envelope or if he really fucked that up.

It seems from what Beatty stated, that they gave him the wrong envelope.

 

[McLovin]

I guess I dont understand how La La Land can win 6 awards, all in major categories, vs Moonlight's 2, both in major categories but still 4 less than La La Land, and La La Land not win Best Picture?

Also, better comeback Moonlight or the Patriots?

Beatty made it sound like he got a duplicate card for Best Actress, which was Emma Stone for La La Land.

He must have. Remember that he handed the card to his co-presenter and she read out La La Land.

They got the wrong card.

Hard to blame the old people when they were given the wrong card to read.

sounds like Leo gave him the best actress envelope. and Feye fucked it up. Warren knew it was wrong but didnt know what to do.

so pwc printed two best actress envelopes?

i dont think so. something happend backstage and the envelopes got mixed up. you see two envelopes on stage during the confusion. and when warren held up the correct one you will see best picture at the bottom. when he opened up the wrong envelope he saw best actress on the bottom and was confused on what to do and why he didnt read it.

so instead of using their brains and just saying we got the wrong envelope, Feye read it guessing....

 

[MrSquished]

I think so. In an interview afterwards Emma Stone said she'd been holding onto her best actress envelope the entire time this all transpired.

Therefore there must have been two identical envelopes printed.

I suspected there would be some geriatric sh!t when I saw those two old geezers with the "oops I crapped my pants look."

He got the wrong card, because he was confused by what it said: "Emma Stone for La La Land," so handed it to Dunaway to fall on that sword. lol.

You probably use that excuse every day, eh?

 

[soulcougher73]

Cant remember the last time i did watch them. 30 years ago maybe as a kid. And im not even boycotting them, i just dont like them.

 

[ch33zw1z]

I've never watched stuff like that, so guess I'm with the OP...but not intentionally lol.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I haven't seen any of the movies nominated but my wife did watch the show. I might watch if I've seen a couple of the movies.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

I showed up as I do every year, this time they gave my seat to some Meryl Streep bitch.

 

[RLGL]

I never watch any of that shit. All it is for is to sell advertising

 

[Homerboy]

Why boycott it?

The announcers were given the wrong envelope, which said Emma Stone & La La Land. Turns out it was a duplicate for the Best Actress category.

So you can't really blame the announcers this time.

I guess if they were really on the ball, they could have questioned why both were listed, but they didn't.

 

[Ns1]

Well the Envelope did say best actress....

But yeah sounds like PwC's fault. I find it reasonably amusing that the accounting firm didn't have the necessary policies and procedures to verify the correct envelope was being handed out.
