I woke up this morning and o m g, I've missed the best (or worse) of the show. A first in the academy awards history I think.

Warren Beaty wasn't trying to be funny when he checked the inside of the envelope for another card. The one he got read "Emma Stone" La la Land.

Did they use the same envelope given a few minutes ago? I could remember Warren opening a sealed envelope. So unlikely.

Then I've watched Emma Stone backstage and she says that she has no idea how that happened, but one sure thing:

She has her own winning card!

So it's a second card reading Emma Stone that was delivered.

One sure thing, next year the card will read:
"Best picture winner
Is ... "

Congrats to Moonlight!

I loved moonlight, I haven't seen La la land yet.

But for me Moonlight is the best movie i've seen in decades. And i'm not a homosexual.
This movie was for incredible. If you can make a movie where in quiet scene's the viewer is emotionally invested into the movie then that is Best Picture for me. No way around it.

I've seen alot of movies but this one astounded me in a million ways.

I've read wonderful things, just like you said, and he's up there in my watch list.

"I loved moonlight, I haven't seen La la land yet. "
For me the other way around (though I noticed on our local theatre's coming attractions announcem,ent Moonlight IS heading 3/17/17, maybe due to the Award and on its strength, La La land already came and went but I took two oppurnities to see it and have several songs from the soundtrack, thanks to..IMDB's owner AMazon (SEE? They're good for something)
