According to AV Club, Twitter, outrage police, etc.: I wanted La La Land to beat Moonlight. I'm racist.

Cool story bro.

I'm able to separate what somebody does in their personal life vis-a-vis what they do professionally, with their art. If someone isn't able to do so, that's their choice, and I understand and respect it. But please, keep showing us your moral police badge.

The award is for best performance. Not best human being.

Given how different Moonlight is from everything that's been nominated before - let alone won - it still would have been remembered as a turning point without the flub.

I fell asleep even before Best Picture was announced. I'm on the East coast, and I'm in my 30s. Last night I felt really fucking old.

It would have been perfect if Denzel jumped on stage as the commotion was going on and yelled, "Casey Affleck, you ain't got shit on me!!"

Top 10 Oscar winners for me (fluid list):

Lost amid all the kerfuffle is that Moonlight became the artsiest film to win Best Picture, and certainly one of the best. Definitely in the conversation for Top 10.

Can't blame Beatty - or Dunaway, for that matter - for their reaction. Not really on them.

While I'm glad Moonlight won, it'll always be remembered for the fuck-up. It's not a "clean" win.

Hillary Clinton is President.

Dhalsim was annoying as hell to fight.

My god does this bring back memories.

I'm still in utter disbelief at that utter shitshow of a press conference. This is beyond words now.

Calling that mildly funny is charitable. At best.

Cool story bro

Everything that ends, ends badly.

Why is this a story on A.V. Club? Put your interns to better use. Make them go wait at Shake Shack or something.

La La Land isn't a bad film. It's also not a very good one. So, of course, it's going to win. Academy loves awarding Best Picture to bland, flavorless, middle-of-the road fare.
