The Oscars and That Flub and the Rare Power of Shock

The Oscars and That Flub and the Rare Power of Shock

Last year, the comedian Marc Maron brought the author Chuck Klosterman on as a guest on his WTF podcast. The two discussed many things (including Klosterman’s then-new book, But What If We’re Wrong?, which he was there to promote), but one of them was sports—and the particular thrill that they offer to audiences. Sporting events, Klosterman argued, promise that most dramatic of things: an unknown…

Controversial Wins

The most common source of controversy over Oscar winners is that viewers believe there were better contenders that year. While the Academy Awards can be criticized as predictable by viewers, some award winners pulled upsets that put the voting process by the Academy into doubt. Awards season campaigning has been prevalent in recent decades, leading the cynical to believe that the Oscars are given out as a result of producers shaking hands with voters behind the scenes rather than objective quality.

1986: 'Out of Africa' wins Best Picture

With a director with the pedigree of Sydney Pollack and stars like Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, "Out of Africa" seemingly had all the right ingredients for an Oscar-worthy picture. But upon release, the romantic drama film ended up with more of a lukewarm reception due to a long running time and for Redford's performance. Even today, critics are baffled by how "Out of Africa" took the top spot that night, especially over Steven Spielberg's adaptation of "The Color Purple."

2017: 'Moonlight' wins Best Picture after presenter flub

The win for Barry Jenkins' coming-of-age drama "Moonlight" wasn't particularly controversial, but rather how the win during the televised ceremony came to be. Initially, presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty accidentally announced the winner of Best Picture to be the musical film "La La Land." However, that was the result of a mixup by accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, who was in charge of tallying up the votes and handing envelopes to presenters. "La La Land" producer Jordan Horowitz announced the real result to the confused audience. The musical film had been previously predicted to be the winner but was criticized for its whitewashing of American jazz.

1999: 'Shakespeare in Love' wins Best Picture over 'Saving Private Ryan'

Steven Spielberg's war drama "Saving Private Ryan" is considered by critics and viewers to be not only one of the best war films of all time but one of the greatest films period. Imagine their surprise when period romantic-comedy-drama "Shakespeare in Love" pulled an upset win for the most prestigious film prize. The win is attributed to producer Harvey Weinstein's aggressive campaign for the film, which has set the tone for Oscar campaigning since then. But the win didn't age well due to the accusations of rape and sexual harassment toward Weinstein that garnered much attention in 2017.

2003: Roman Polanski wins Best Director for 'The Pianist'

When Roman Polanski won the Academy Award for Best Director with "The Pianist," he did not walk up on stage to accept the trophy; in fact, Polanski was not in the United States at all, as stepping foot in the U.S. would have resulted in his arrest. Even after his guilty plea for statutory rape, Polanski's peers in the filmmaking community supported him at the time. In the wake of Time's Up and Me Too, however, Polanski's work and accolades have been reexamined. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expelled Polanski from its membership in 2018.

At the 94th Academy Awards, Will Smith took home the prize for Best Actor for his performance in "King Richard" as the titular Richard Williams, the father and longtime coach of tennis superstars Venus and Serena. Smith's acting had earned him acclaim in the months leading up to the awards, but during the ceremony, before the Best Actor winner was announced, Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock who'd made a joke at the expense of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The show went on, and Smith apologized during his acceptance speech, but the fallout came in the weeks after. Smith ultimately resigned from the Academy and was banned from attending the Oscars for the next decade.

While Smith's win was immediately met with backlash, other Oscar wins may not have been controversial at the time but become questionable in retrospect. Sometimes the wrongdoings of individuals involved in decorated films are later unearthed or are resurfaced after such a win.

New ‘First Man’ Trailer Blasts Ryan Gosling Off To The Moon

With the possible exception of Ryan Coogler, there isn’t a young director whose star is burning any brighter than Damien Chazelle’s, who was free to write his own check after coming one Beatty and Dunaway flub away from an almost-sweep at the 2017 Oscars. Check cashed, Chazelle immediately enlisted his “La La Land” lead, Ryan Gosling, to play the stoic and famously colorless Neil Armstrong in “First Man,” a period biopic set to open on October 12 (though it’ll premiere at the Venice Film Festival first in late August).

When the Oscars ended on Sunday night with the biggest flub in recent memory, thanks to Warren Beatty mistakenly reading La La Land out as the winner of best picture, when, in fact, the prize went to Moonlight, the night ended with an uproar — and more questions than answers.

That's why just after midnight PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accounting firm that tallies the Oscars, released an apologetic statement.

"We sincerely apologize to Moonlight, La La Land, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture," the statement read. "The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected.  We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred."

Despite last year’s infamous best picture mix-up, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty are expected back at this year’s Oscars to again present the final award. Sources confirmed the duo will give it another try on Sunday, this time with much more attention to the handling of the envelope.

The “Bonnie and Clyde” actors rehearsed the moment in advance of Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony at the…

WHO WON BEST PICTURE? LA LA LAND OR MOONLIGHT? #EPICOSCARBLUNDER

The best film goes to LA LA LAND… oh no wait we made a mistake… it’s MOONLIGHT …. #OscarBlunder #lol #funny #89thAcademyAwards#Oscar Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway went on stage to announce the best film award, opened the envelope to see the card was for best actress (Emma stone for La La Land) but announced the film’s name as LA LA LAND anyway. When almost the entire crew had given their speech…

[kurenai24]

Some of black tumblr is really weird sometimes, y'all really getting mad that the La La Land producer was mad at Warren Beatty for getting it wrong.

He deserves to be angry, that shit is embarrassing, Warren Beatty would have rather embarrassed the cast and crew of La La Land, himself, and the Academy instead of just the Academy.

If they gave you the wrong envolope announce that shit, don’t assume that the card that said best actress means that the movie Emma was in won Best Picture, like what sense does that even fucking make, it makes none, you can’t even defend that shit, the presenters were being complete dumbasses.

Just b/c you’re rooting for Moonlight to win or don’t like La La Land, or don’t like the actors in La La Land, does not mean y'all can make up shit.

You either have sympathy for the La La Land cast or don’t, but don’t make someone’s legit anger at being embarrassed some shitty reason for putting yourself on a pedestal.

And I can’t believe some y'all (some of black tumblr and non-black tumblr alike) is caping for Warren Beatty when his lack of common sense (along with Faye Dunaway’s) is gonna be the reason why Moonlight’s win is gonna be overshadowed by this mistake, when all they needed to do was speak the fuck up, but now instead of talking about Moonlight and what this win means, everybody will be talking about this Oscar flub; this the hill y'all really wanna die on.

So everybody on the La La Land producer’s dick (who I found out is called Jordan Horowitz) b/c he is legitimately angry can kick rocks for real for acting like someone is not allowed to be angry or upset.

Edit: I got an ask, and that anon was right Faye was the one who made the mistake and deserves most of the ire. I also got a reply from someone known as @missrewe and I don’t fucking care if you think Jordan was rude to Warren and I don’t fucking care if you think Jordan was being fake about his joy at Moonlight winning that’s not what this post is about, and stop trying to defend that old as dude, Faye might have been the actual dumbass of this situation but Warren still didn’t speak the fuck up. This post addressed two things, one being that everyone and anybody is allowed to feel legitimite anger and that Warren and Faye not speaking up on the fact that they got the wrong envolope is why Moonlight’s win is gonna be tarnished.

Warren Beatty & Faye Dunaway Reportedly Returning To Present Best Picture At The Oscars

When it came to last year’s historic Oscar Best Picture flub (that ruined the awards for Barry Jenkins forever), Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway unfairly got most of the heat. What has largely been forgotten is that the whole envelope mixup happened because PriceWaterhouseCoopers partner Brian Cullinan was tweeting photos from backstage (read: distracted) shortly before he gave the wrong envelope to Beatty. The incident led to a handful of policy changes moving forward, including PwC accountants being forced to leave their gadgets and phones at the door on the day of the ceremony.

Did the Academy’s ‘predictions’ accidentally spoil the Oscars?

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts owes you an apology.

Last week, the honorary organization debuted their new “Prediction Experience” widget that would […]
