Best Picture is the only category where the Academy members do preferential voting. Ranking the nominees.


The academy has done that to make a tie impossible in this category. ⭐️

So thrilled to see what happened tonight. 👏 Even though it came at a loss for La La Land.

WOW!!!


Envelope mix up.

So nice of LA LA LAND team to acknowledge the goof up and call MOONLIGHT on stage...👏


I can assure you this goof up never happens in our home grown BOIFA...where the votes are tallied 10 times and only the right winner name is revealed.


BOIFA Rocks more than Oscars😎

Totally staged. It just takes the credibility away. Warren was smart to let Faye announce. It's unfortunate that they made Warren look bad.

The producer of LA LA LAND snatched the envelope from him to show to the world "Moonlight"won but the man was seething from within.Emma too, later at the press address, stated that she had the winner's card with her name with her all along. Makes you wonder how many of those they have there. It just seems like unlikely for it to be an honest mistake.

You don't expect such stuff at the Oscars.It would have been spoken of anyway.Sigh!

Exactly my thought. Something like this takes away from both. You gave the award away to the blacks and kept the sympathy for the whites.( sensing foul play). Both were fantastic movies but to pull such a stunt, to create such commotion when people are amidst their speech : TACKY.

PWC should be sacked.
