The Russians did it!
That’s probably what liberal media would be shrieking if the epic Oscars gaffe had not been captured on live TV. After trolling President Trump the entire night, Hollywood got egg on its face bigly after the wrong winner was announced for best picture.
The bizarre turn of events unfolded when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were presenting the Academy Award for best picture. Beatty was handed an envelope that was supposed to contain the winner.
Beatty looked confused after opening the card. Dunaway apparently thought Beatty was hesitating for dramatic effect, so she jokingly said, “You’re impossible. Come on.”
After Beatty showed her the card, Dunaway said aloud: “‘La La Land.”

After the “La La Land” cast and crew went on stage, a man wearing a headset approached producer Jordan Horowitz, who then said into the mic: “We lost, by the way. I’m sorry, there’s a mistake. ‘Moonlight,’ you guys won best picture. This is not a joke.”
Beatty explained: “I opened the envelope and it said, ‘Emma Stone, La La Land.’ That’s why I took such a long look at Faye and at [the audience]. I wasn’t trying to be funny.”

Emma Stone had won the best actress Oscar earlier that evening. Stone later told the press she was holding the card that had her name “the entire time.”
Accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers released a statement saying they had handed Warren Beatty the wrong envelope. They also explained separately that accountants typically create two sets of winners’ envelopes, so it’s likely Stone had her envelope and Beatty had the duplicate.

The jaw-dropping turn of events was an unprecedented end to another lackluster Oscars ceremony.
Goofball Anthony Anderson went on the post-awards shows and blamed Warren Beatty for the mixup by yelling: “Emma Stone had her envelope! There was no duplicate!”

Twitter reacted by launching the hashtag #EnvelopeGate and needling everyone.
So Hollywood cannot even successfully coordinate the announcement of #BestPicture award, but President Trump is the idiot?

A blast from President Trump’s Twitter past summed up the evening perfectly.

Hillary Clinton had to get her two cents in, of course.
Hillary called. She wants Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway to review the ballots voters cast in Wisconsin and Michigan.#Oscars
