Moonlight won because of white guilt.  Only explanation as to why such a terrible or at best mediocre film won it all.

 

At least you're upfront now.

If I took out a huge loan and bet it on Trump winning the election then took that money and bet on the Patriots during halftime and then took that money and bet on Moonlight winning BP...

 

I'd be a millionaire right now.

Get a time machine and do it.

So what happened?

[WrathOfHan]

This is the fucking craziest Oscar ceremony EVER. So many upsets in a single night.

[straggler]

Did not watch this year. Too much politics. Hopefully it calms down a bit next year. The ending was the cherry on top of a mess.

LLL should've won. Why did they give to that gay shite? This is one of the bigger upsets I've seen.

Not cool, man.

Warren Beatty read the La La Land Best Actress card, but the BP winner was Moonlight.

[Jake Gittes]

I'm gonna go read a book or something. This is some idiocy for the ages.

There seemed to be a mistake. Warren Beatty said LLL won BP, but he was given the wrong envelope, and instead Moonlight won.

As far as I can tell, the accountant/award people gave the wrong envelope to Beatty and Dunaway and they did not notice when they read the name of the film.

[Jonwo]

Despite the cock up, Moonlight's win shows the rise of A24, they've really come far with films like Moonlight, Ex Machina, Amy etc I wouldn't be surprised if we see Amazon get a best picture win within a few years

 

La La Land should still a boost at the box office with the wins for Chazelle, Stone and best song and score.

They gave the best actress envelope for Best Picture so they called the wrong movie. They originally said LA LA Land but Moonlight actually won. 

[Kraken]

LOLOLOLOLOL. La La Land got Miss Colombia'd. At least this time the correct envelope had the right choice. INSANE. 

[ZattMurdock]

I feel bad for LLL

Uh, hold back on the homophobic crap there, buddy. That's the real upset here right now.

 

Peace,

For the record, I'm not bashing on Moonlight. I'm just in shock rn.
