Actually Leonardo DiCaprio loving with the Oscars is my new favorite conspiracy theory.

How did Zootopia win? It was the worst of the bunch. Bizarre. It was actually surprising that it was nominated.

I agree, the Oscars have been renowned for picking deserving winners throughout history, so this was a surprise.

But really, this particular award will always be won by a major american studio if they made a non-sequel movie, so turtle and zucchini never had a prayer. Kubo winning was the best possible outcome, but Zootopia's unsubtle pro-diversity message was just too on-point for this year's political zeitgeist.

Imagine the thoughts going through the heads of the two people with the briefcases as Dunaway announces the wrong movie. They have the winners memorized, do you think they're just kinda going through the motions and then they hear something that sounds wrong and go into emergency "someone done hosed up" mode?

I can agree with all that, but I expected Moana because of the Grrl Power aspect. Kubo was extraordinary. I suspect the voters didn't actually watch all the films so didn't actually see Kubo and the two foreign flicks.

If that's just how lax they are in terms of preventing this from happening then they had it coming. Even worse as the decision to just get the gently caress out of there and not give the Moonlight folks a full chance to express themselves.

Someone must have put the wrong result inside the envelope for Best Picture. Maybe the slip of paper for Best Actress got printed twice? :iiam:

Zootopia had animal main characters, simple jokes that will get kids rolling, and hidden jokes for their parents. It's pretty much tailor-made for the Oscars.

Apparently they printed out two Emma Stone best actress envelopes and one Moonlight best picture envelope, and for some reason gave Warren the second Emma Stone envelope.

There's two of every envelope. They're handed to the presenters off stage by one of the two people who have a copy of each envelope, so it's entirely possible that the actress envelope was handed off by person A, and later person B tried to hand off best picture envelope, but handed out his copy of best actress.

This is a really poorly thought out process but at the same time it's never happened ever so...

I think he kinda set her up for the fall. he knew something was up, and instead of, like checking, he showed her the thing like he was just trying to be cute and she read the name she saw on the card.

I don't know why they don't just tell the presenters ahead of time or have a digital database tied to a teleprompter or any of the millions of better ways to run this there could be.

Warren knew what was up, showed the envelope to Faye to kill time, and then Faye was all OH LOOK IT SAYS LA LA LAND THEY WIN BEST PICTURE YAYYYYYYY

Fun fact: Leo DiCaprio was the one who brought out the envelope and gave it to Beatty.

This is, unfortunately, not true. Emma Stone has come out and said that Leo gave her the envelope and it never left her hands.

unless she's in on it as well...
