When Russians hack the Oscars … jaw-dropping chaos after wrong best picture award was given!

The Russians did it!

That’s probably what liberal media would be shrieking if the epic Oscars gaffe had not been captured on live TV. After spending two hours needling President Trump, Hollywood got egg on its face bigly after the wrong winner was announced for best picture.

The bizarre turn of events unfolded when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were presenting the Academy Award for best picture. Beatty was handed an envelope that was supposed to contain the winner.

Its even funnier because it was probably the real winner but they had to have the award for most affirmative melanin

It sucks to say it but the Russians hacked the Oscars and tried to promote the views of the great movie director, Vlad the Inhaler ( Vladimir Putin the nemesis of the utopian fascist left.)

I think that we should inform John McCain and Lindsey Graham immediately, this is a matter for the Senate Intelligence Committee.

We can’t afford to have the Russians hacking the Oscar voting mechanism. A whole sector of our economy is subject to attack, the Entertainment Sector. Appoint a special prosecutor NOW!

I agree with the people who say this was a set-up. Maybe Beatty and Dunaway were not in on it. Maybe the Moonlight and the La La Land people were not in on it. But I believe a few people at the top thought that this was a clever publicity stunt that would emphasize the big victory of the affirmative action movie.

That is probably less of an accident than we think. It mirrors how they saw the general election results. Art imitating life.

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?

Absolutely, I never realized how hard the FBI has to work to protect Hollywood.

As the FBI constantly reminds us, we must join together in fighting the most serious threat to America, Piracy Is Not A Victimless Crime!

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"!
