Det burde ikke kunne ske, men det gjorde det. Oscar-statuetten for Bedste Film blev fejlagtigt tildelt ‘La La Land’, inden producer Jordan Horowitz meddelte, at ‘Moonlight’ var den rigtige vinder. Warren Beatty og Faye Dunaway havde fået en forkert konvolut med på scenen – hvordan det end er muligt.
De sociale medier eksploderede, og alverdens skuespillere og Hollywood-folk har meldt sig på banen med deres reaktioner på det, der ikke kan betegnes som andet end en kæmpeskandale.
Reaktionerne varierer fra rendyrket overraskelse til dem, der naturligvis gerne vil have lidt humor ud af situationen. M. Night Shyamalans tweet kandiderer til nattens bedste, mens Rainn Wilson også er deroppe af. Hertil er der dem, som ønsker, at det samme var sket under det amerikanske valg – blandt andre Michael Moore (selvfølgelig) og Billy Crystal.
»Det var virkelig surrealistisk«, har ‘Moonlight’-skuespillerinde Naomie Harris udtalt til Entertainment Weekly, mens Emma Stone til en pressekonference prøvede at sætte ord på, hvad der var sket: »En mærkelig begivenhed i Oscar-historien«.

It would have been a better ending if Suicide Squad had somehow actually won Best Picture.

You know what the problem is — millions of Academy members voted illegally.
