It's that there are sexual harassment allegations against Casey Affleck.I've seen this tweet several times. Is there anything here beyond a relatively famous person saying "I don't agree with Best Actor winner?"
Feel bad for the La La cast.
A managing partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP posted a celebrity photo on Twitter backstage at the Academy Awards Sunday night just minutes before he mistakenly gave an envelope to actor Warren Beatty that set off the disastrous announcement of the wrong best-picture winner.
Brian Cullinan, one of two PwC partners holding envelopes with the names of Oscar winners, tweeted Best Actress Emma Stone backstage! #PWC along with a photo of the actress at 9:05 p.m. Pacific time. That was approximately three minutes before Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway walked on stage to present the award for best picture.
Mr. Cullinan gave Mr. Beatty the envelope that was supposed to contain the name of the best-picture winner, people close to the production said. In reality, however, Mr. Beatty was given a duplicate copy of the envelope containing Ms. Stones name as best actress. As a result, Ms. Dunaway mistakenly named La La Land, in which Ms. Stone starred, as best picture.
Mr. Cullinan deleted the tweet, apparently on Monday morning; The Wall Street Journal has seen copies of the tweet, including a version publicly accessible on Googles servers.
Mr. Cullinan posted other photos on Twitter during the awards show that were also apparently deleted, said a person with knowledge of the matter.
Feel bad for the La La cast.
Authorities have identified the mastermind behind this sinister prank
The biggest moment of the night, perhaps of modern Academy Awards history, and there's Woman Sitting Behind Mel Gibson, casually checking her manicure.
”I think they were focused so hard on politics that they didn't get the act together at the end," President Trump told Breitbart. ”It was a little sad. It took away from the glamour of the Oscars. It didn't feel like a very glamorous evening. I've been to the Oscars. There was something very special missing, and then to end that way was sad."
What the hell? So a Black Gay movie that is fantastic, is the first LGBT movie to win an Oscar, is again fucking fantastic, will be forgotten in comparison to a movie that is good, but not great? A movie that was a musical with two people who can't sing?The people behind La La Land have no reason to be sad. It was a monster hit, won a lot of awards is likely to well remembered for years for helping to jumpstar the Musical again. It will be the Saving Private Ryan to Moonlight's Shakespeare in Love. The superior, more memorable film that lost to a film soon to be forgotten.

Same. Then Twitter blew up. And then I laughed. Suck it La La Land.
I really do not get the hate for this movie.
Oh that's so horrible! Imagine winning and then losing all in the matter of a couple of minutes.
Saying Moonlight will be forgotten in comparison to La La Land is just stupid. If anything, both will be remembered, LLL for being a love letter to older musicals and a decent film to boot, and Moonlight for being a wonderful movie about a subject you don't really see anything about, at least when it comes to black people.Not the person you posted to, but while Moonlight definitely had more important subject matter especially in the current climate and told more touching story imo. I too think that La La Land has better chance of being remembered as an all time classic unfortunately. I think Moonlight deserves that too though. Both are excellent films and while I get it that they were competing for the same prize, I don't think either one deserves bashing on others expense.
They should have just announced Silence as the winner.
The mere fact that more people saw La La Land should tell you it'll end up being more remembered. I don't think it's a knock to Moonlight that La La Land may end up with a longer lasting legacy, it's just the reality of the situation.

I would have been fine with this.

It matters a lot though that a movie about a black gay man and his journey through life and his love and loss won best picture. That people, black or not, want to see this movie. When it comes to tolerance of our LGBT brothers, sisters, and non-binary peers, we kinda fall a bit behind at least in my experience. We're coming back and doing better, but this means a lot.The weird thing about Moonlight is how many people sell it short by saying it's a movie about empathy and LGBT issues and race issues.
It's actually a good ass movie that normalizes those things by not being "about"' them. Instead, it's a movie that usss nagatice space in the narrative to add a lot of subtle layers to a story.
I dunno. I really like Moonlight and it bums me out that the innovative stuff about it gets glazed over by the more obvious social impact.

Oh totally! That's super dope, but even moreso (to me as a movie nerd) is that it's maybe the most aggressively artsy and challenging film to win best picture in my lifetime.It matters a lot though that a movie about a black gay man and his journey through life and his love and loss won best picture.

That's a weird critique to me. Moonlight uses a storytelling device and has recurring themes about absence and negative space.I just wish it was a more complete film.

If you took a cat and drew everything around it's outline, but left the page blank where the cat is, you would still see the cat but it says something different about the subject.

If they were straight white people it would still be something I have never seen.
