Or maybe they thought it was a good movie?

Yeah I disagree

[grim22]

Also, this means Beatty and Dunaway really thought the Best Picture winner was "Emma Stone, La La Land"

That's your opinion. Doesn't mean that it's objectively bad somehow.

I hope Warren Beattying becomes a verb from this day forth.

 

"I got called into my bosses office and I heard I was getting a promotion, but it turned out they were Warren Beattying me and I got fired."

.......anyways HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH Y'ALL, AND GOOD NIGHT!

 

 

oh and watch the get down on netflix

Moonlight is a fantastic movie, and it won't be forgotten (with critics and film nerds at least).  No reason to hate on the movie because of the screw up, it's not the fault of anyone who made Moonlight.  

 

And while I could understand people saying, "It's only a reaction to Trump and Oscars so white!"  They could have went with Fences or Hidden Figures (hell even Loving if they had nominated it) for the same effect.  In all reality, Hidden Figures might be the more Anti-Trump film.

 

Moonlight didn't just win because "black and gay", it won because it's a great movie that a lot of people really loved.  This is coming from someone who prefers La La Land to Moonlight.

Clearly Emma Stone was behind all of this. Witch, burn her!

So is Star Wars 8 locked to win the domestic box office this year?

 

 

hmmm

 

Nah that one is certain

But after last year of oscar so white and this year moonlight winning best picture when La La land swept every major predictor for the award seems like it is something other than it being a good movie

You can bet they won't be having older actors doing the BP envelope opening next year and they'll have the envelope with huge letters as well

Don't be so obtuse.

 

No I mean I really don't get it.  I don't see color when I watch a movie, I see either good cinema or bad cinema and it annoys me when people just refer to something as a "black film" solely cause it has a majority black cast.  I don't hear people going around saying something is a "white film."

The envelope still says "Actress in a leading role"

It won precisely because it was black and gay, it was literally oscar bait the movie

Jimmy might be pissed tonight but it's given him some great material for his monologue tomorrow.

Wait a second, Emma Stone had her own card on herself? So what happened here, they had a copy of her card with them or something? Odd.
