From what I read, they were given the wrong card and it said "Emma Stone" on it. Should have been for a different award. But since Emma Stone's movie was La La Land, that's what he announced.
The accountants at Pricewatercooper fucked up. They hand the envelope to the handler who gives it to the celebs...It clearly said "actress in leading role", Beatty was trying to buy time and didnt want to say the wrong name as it said Emma Stone on the card. So he let Faye Dunaway take the fall, who was like stop wasting time. So she saw the top that said La La land and just yelled that. hahaha. What a G Beatty!
As authentic as they made it seem that had to have been planned to push for ratings for next year. You ain't that slick Hollywood.
People in general don't care for a party that rich people throw for rich people and make it out like it's a privilege for others to see that party. It's vanity at its zenith, it's scary how people are brainwashed into thinking that this garbage is important.
Their other major gaffe: http://www.metro.us/entertainment/d...segment-is-still-alive/zsJqbA---VRIp3Y7tC8Yc/
2016 - boycotts about black actors not winning Oscars 2017 - a giant, attention-getting gaffe bringing attention to the winning picture that's directed by and stars black people almost exclusively. Yes, total mistake by the academy, LOL.
