Let's consider the following:

Bonnie and Clyde were given the wrong envelope. Clyde looked at it first, and was confused. Bonnie then looked at the card which read:

EMMA STONE
LA LA LAND

Bonnie knew "Emma Stone" could not be right, so she stated the name of the picture.

Both of these idiots were too dense to realize that something was wrong and continued to read their 'cue cards' because that is what they do.

Yet we are supposed to value their opinions on complex geopolitical issues that impact millions of people?

All they had to do, if the photo I saw on Drudge is right (I didn't watch), was turn over the red envelope. It said "Actress in a Leading Role" and that would have screamed "wrong envelope"!

Actually Beatty knew something was wrong, and looked at Dunnaway as if to ask ‘do you know what’s going on?’...and she just read the movie off the card.

But what I find interesting, from a ‘fake news’ perspective - last night I saw multiple sources that stated Beatty read the wrong name...only to discover this morning that it was really Dunnaway.

One news outlet (or more likely Twitter post) states the wrong person, and the rest follow without even checking.
