Let the debates begin.
Hi!
As a fan of Musicals I did root for La La Land, but Moonlight was the better film. The best film of the year? That’s up for discussion but I think they made the correct choice out of the nominees.
But in the name of all things holy, that blunder was unforgivable. I actually don’t blame Warren Beatty and Faye Dunway. They could hardly have done anything else, though I kinda feel annoyed at the way Beatty pushed the envelope and responsibility to Dunway.
Mistakes do happen and i think the real issue is why they didn’t correct it sooner. Like the accountants and the responsible parties must have realized what was wrong the second they Heard ‘La la land’ and we’ll probably never know why there was a delay.
Okay my second grievance is how it was left to the producers of La La Land and the actors to announce the mistake and invite the moonlight team on stage. Jordan Hurwitz was humble and gentlemanly.
I guess this really is the worst mix up in Oscar history!
Here’s to the fool’s who dream of making more and more great musicals in the coming years! At least La La Land rekindled the trend again. With Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins and Wicked to look forward to I think we’re good.
