Everyone loves bloopers. All Hollywood movies have them, but we don’t get to see them unless we watch the blooper reel. That changed for 32 million people this year who watched one of the greatest mix-ups in Oscar history happen on live television.

The Oscar’s this year featured many heartbreaking, heartwarming, and creative movies such as La La Land, Moonlight, Hacksaw Ridge, and Hidden Figures. The awards went smoothly, run by the hilarious Jimmy Kimmel, until the last and most important award. I’m sure many of you watched as La La Land was announced to be the best picture of the year – only to have the title taken away because of a mix up backstage. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, the stars of the 1967 classic Bonnie and Clyde, were the announcers of the best picture award.

After their introduction, and the clips of the nominated movies, Beatty opened the envelope with the winning movie. A look of confusion came over his face, and he hesitated to read the winner, so Dunaway, his co-announcer, read the results out loud. The envelope read “Emma Stone; La La Land,” which was the wrong envelope. There are always two envelopes holding the results for each award, just in case something happens to one of them. There had been confusion backstage, and the announcers had been handed the alternate envelope for the Best Actress in a Leading Role. As the cast of La La Land came onstage, were given their Oscar, and began their acceptance speeches, you could see chaos break out behind them.

I noticed something was wrong when I saw a man, seemingly a backstage worker, come on stage and take the mixed up envelope. I saw the smile on Emma Stone’s face change to confusion, and knew there must have been a mix up with the awards. Fred Berger, one of the producers of La La Land gave an acceptance speech, even though he knew the wrong movie had been announced, and then ended his speech with “we lost by the way.”

Even though Berger did not handle the situation very graciously, I think Jordan Horowitz, one of the other producers of La La Land, definitely did the right thing by the cast of the actual winners. He went to the microphone and announced that Moonlight was the actual winner of the award. He then held up the correct envelope to the camera saying “No, it’s not a joke,” to show everyone that Moonlight was the actual winner of best picture. Before he left the stage, he said he was going to be very happy to hand his friends from Moonlight the award. A very classy move if you ask me.

After Warren Beatty explained what happened to the audience and the viewers at home, the stage was cleared for Moonlight to give their acceptance speeches. Each speech was extremely touching, and the man who the movie was based on even came up to accept the award with the cast.

Personally, I’m very glad Moonlight won. It was a heartbreaking, and touching story about the childhood and early adulthood of a young African American man growing up in a ghetto in Miami. He was gay and constantly bullied for it, his mother was a drug addict, and he was eventually taken under the wing of a local drug dealer in his neighborhood. This film was the first ever all African-American cast, and LGBT-focused movie to win the best picture award. The movie was extremely eye opening, and fully deserved the Oscar for best picture.

However, the cast did not get to have their big moment. They didn’t hear their name announced as winners, and they didn’t get to walk on stage surrounded by applause and music. They walked on stage amidst confusion, and chaos, missing the Oscar winner experience.

Now everyone is wondering who we can blame this mistake on. The two people responsible for the envelopes, and the only two people who know the results of the Oscar’s ahead of time, have stepped forward to take credit for their mistake. Brian Cullinan and Martha Ruiz of PricewaterhouseCoopers, a special services agency, were in charge of all the results backstage at the Oscars. Each of them were on the opposite side of the stage from the other, and each of them had one envelope with the winners.

Cullinan has come forward and said that he mistakenly handed the backup envelope for Best Actress in a Leading Role to Dunaway and Beatty, instead of the Best Picture envelope. Only a few minutes before the best picture was announced, Cullinan posted a picture to his twitter of Emma Stone backstage after winning her award. Maybe he was too starstruck by Stone to notice that he had given away the wrong envelope. Cullinan and Ruiz have been fired from their coveted positions, and they won’t be in charge of the Oscar results next year.

People are calling this the greatest Oscar fiasco of all time. It was shocking to watch, and I was disappointed that Moonlight didn’t receive their big Oscar moment, but in the end everything worked out, and I think overall it was handled pretty well. There was chaos around this huge event, but c’mon people, it’s just an awards show. Hopefully next year everything will go smoothly.
