Come on people you really think announcing wrong winner was a mistake? It was all staged. the people who knew the real winner (like the President of the Academy) were present at the ceremony. Between the moment Faye announced La La Land a winner and the producers of the movie starting their acceptance speeches there was more than enough time to intervene and correct the mistake. If it wasn't corrected it's only because it was planned that way. Way you ask? I have no idea but it actually fits the all time low level of the ceremony. Perhaps it was Kimmels' idea which would be on par with unprecedented stupidity he demonstrated the whole night. And no I'm not talking about his Anti-Trump ravings. I actually think Trump haters were pretty disappointed with them. Which proves just how bad he was.

I’ve already seen comments on the internet that black filmmakers can never get a break in Hollywood even when they win.

Just watch what happens in the next 24 hours.

At least now people will have something to talk about, from what I heard, up to that point the ceremonies were as lame as could be.

When that black matron President of the Academy got up to politick, notice she stumbled ‘music’ for ‘majic’. Maybe the switch happened at opening and she was non-plussed by it enough to mis-read? the teleprompter or she Freuded it.
