The OSCARS 2017 took place overnight. The nominations are here, and the winners are as follows, with the Best Picture firstly mistakenly read out by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as La La Land, when he was given the wrong envelope, and the error was only rectified AFTER the cast and crew were on stage with the OSCAR statues in their hand! What a kerfuffle! Perhaps it was a reference to 2014’s Magic in the Moonlight, also starring Emma Stone? 😉
Anyhoo, everyone knows it should’ve gone to 10 Cloverfield Lane!:
