Warren Beatty gave Faye Dunaway what she demanded during rehearsal ... the honor of reading the winner of Best Picture, and he watched as she failed in spectacular fashion. Sources who were present at Saturday's rehearsal tell us, both Faye and Warren wanted to announce the winner and went back and forth, but eventually Warren backed off and Faye got her way.
In fact, we're told their rehearsal was contentious from start to finish ... they wouldn't go onstage together to block their walkout ... they did it separately. Watch the clip closely ... you see Faye angling to get the envelope as Warren tries to make sense of it ... as if she fears he might jack the moment and read it himself. Warren didn't warn her ... he just passed the envelope. And watch how quickly Faye reads the winner ... it's almost as if she worried Warren would beat her to the punch. It's pretty apparent ... Warren knew something was wrong and she just jumped. We've reached out to Faye and Warren's reps for comment ... so far, no word back.
Right afterwards she was probably wondering if Beatty pulled a stunt on purpose by switching the envelopes.LOLOL
and the winner for the best black tranny is—

“This is the guy who we’re told is responsible for the biggest screwup in Oscar history ... the guy who handed Warren Beatty the wrong envelope.
His name — Brian Cullinan — an accountant at Pricewaterhouse. He’s a veteran ... 30 years at the accounting firm.
Here’s the thing ... Brian was supposed to discard the spare Best Actress envelope and hand Warren Best Picture.
As for why ... we know this. Brian was tweeting like crazy during the ceremony, posting photos ... so he may have been distracted. Brian has since deleted the tweets, but one was a pic of Emma Stone with her Oscar. If it was tweeted right after her win, that’s exactly when Brian should’ve been prepping for the next category ... Best Picture.
No word on whether discipline is in store.
We’re told the firm is issuing an apology to all concerned.”
Is everyone going to beat up on this guy now?
Were they able to get back to the nursing home in time for pudding?
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple! Whoever did the plastic surgery on her should go to jail.Yikes!
the only profession in the world where they give themselves awards every year. Oy vey!
Am I supposed to care about the Oscars? Or TMZ?
Three and three quarters hours of hate, and the only thing people will remember is the last few minutes.
Excuse me...this is a chat thread..you don’t have to come to it you know
I prefer the theory she was set up by Beatty. It’s a lot funnier.
I love watching the video. The switch was especially sweet coming right after the virtue signalling speech, LOL!
Bonnie and Clyde. Know this: the movie had A LOT of fabrication contained therein.
The Warren Oates Dillenger was also total BS. If anyone is interested in Dillenger read the Toland book, if you can find it. It us becoming scarce.
I have no idea who this is but will be looking for the pics have they post the guesses. Sounds really weird looking

“This actress was in the audience while her husband was up on stage at The Oscars. An observer who saw her close up last night tells us:
There was definitely something wrong with her face! When she was not smiling she looked fine, but when she smiled big, she had this freaky horizontal line between the bottom of her nose and her upper lip. It looked like the line was trying to smile when she smiled!
A plastic surgeon tells us:
It’s common for patients get that transverse horizontal line occur after excessive lip filler on the upper lip. With the swelling, there’s just no where else for the skin to go, so it creates a valley when the patient animates. Her upper lip looks overfilled and out of proportion to her bottom lip. That’s what’s causing that “second smile” line when she genuinely animates.”
There may always be part of her that will always wonder if Beatty didn’t conspire with someone to make her look like a fool.
This is my favorite story out of all of it.
Pure Karma
when Adele won her Grammy, she couldn’t wait to rip the statuette in half to give to Beyoncé. I love to see the Hollywood snowflakes push each other out of the way to honor the gay black love story movie actors. hahaha. That’s some good vaudeville
Moonlight won the electoral college.
LaLa Land swept the popular vote.
The Untouchables with Deniro was complete fiction also...never understood why they do this to gangsters from that era...the real stories are amazing. Especially the Chicago bootleg wars from the 20’s.
I was thinking ... if I were to ever win this award, what would I say. I would not thank my family, because I think that would be silly. Nothing great has been accomplished.
I would say "I'm glad you voted to give this to me." If my colleagues did a great job, I would say "my colleagues did a great job."
But since making a movie everyone likes is really no different from making a car everyone likes, or a widget ... the real question is ... did I make it in a way that God likes, whatever piece of crap or gold came out.
Also, I would never ever ever consider 'people liking my product' to be a very good judge of its quality, and certainly not a judgment that I had reached something notable as a human being.
It's nice to be liked or have people like your stuff, but it's on the level of eating a good ice cream. These people must have no sense of self, apart from others' sense of them, and because of that ... they are just engaged in a group hypnosis of licking eachothers' egos.
The smarminess of the La La Land graciousness and virtue signaling bordered on ... no it crossed into ... condescension to the black recipients.
But for those who have worked hard at their craft, including that part of the actors and actresses lives that have in fact been dedicated to craft, and more so to the sound engineers and technical staff -> good on 'em. But don't shower yourselves with praise because other questionable characters praise you.
