Warren realized a mistake had been made and didn’t know how to handle it. Faye thought he was joking around and took the card out of his hand and said “La La Land”
I jut hit rewind and went back. Yep, even though it is rumored Warren had Alzheimer’s, there is no fault on the man.
He saw it was weird (Emma Stone, La La Land is not the appropriate winner for best picture and he knew that). He never announced it.
And I rewound to see if I could see who gave him the envelope, but he walked out from backstage with it. Someone gave him the envelope before he ever came out onstage.
He kept looking around like he knew something was wrong but instead, gave it to Faye to read
He clearly didn’t know what to do.
