Oscar Catastrophe

Well looks like even the TV can make mistakes. Last nights Oscars really did make the most embarrassing mistake. When announcing who won 'Best picture' and in translation that meaning best film there was a total mix up with who had actually won. 

The presenters of this award had been given the wrong envelope with the complete wrong category, the envelope they had been given said 'Emma Stone,La La land' moreover that is what the presenter read out causing all sorts of confusion with the audience. The real winner of the award was the film 'Moonlight'. It is said that the mistake was not discovered until half way through the acceptance speeches from the director and actors of 'La La Land' and this was what made it more embarrassing.

Uh oh.  

Beatty's Bonnie and Clyde co-star Faye Dunaway announced La La Land had taken the best picture prize - but then the musical's producer Jordan Horowitz announced there had been a mistake.

He said: "This is not a joke. Moonlight is best picture," and showed the camera the card that revealed the winner" 

I can't even imagine the embarrassment. Just shows not even huge events such as the Oscars can run perfectly. This crazy mix up is said to go down in Oscar history and will never be forgotten.
