Craziest thing I have seen. Feel bad for the Moonlight crew who didn't get their win in the way they should have gotten it. It is a terrific film, not an argument on the choice, but embarrassing to win like that. Credit to the La, La Land team for being very gracious and handing the statues over that was classy.

Bad karma for turning the show into a political statement.

Nobody knew how getting the right envelop to the presenter could be so complicated.

Reportedly the accountant responsible was distracted, posting backstage pics of Emma Stone to his twitter account.

It was a fitting end to another politically laced debacle. Instead of celebrating acting and movies they always ruin the evening with their liberal bias speeches. Good, I'm glad they f'd up the money shot. Bunch of asholes
