OSCARS 2017 | 89th ACADEMY AWARDS – COVERAGE

“The OSCARS” – this name is a complete world itself. All the celebrities, either they are of Hollywood, Bollywood or any other film industry around the world, all struggle hard to hooked that golden statuette in their hands.

This year the 89th Academy Award ceremony was held on February 26, 2017 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. For the prestige of the Films of 2016, there were 24 categories altogether. The nominees of OSCARS 2017 were announced on January 24, 2017, where the most nominations were of “LA LA LAND” and that were 14… a record that is same as to the movie “TITANIC (1997) holds and “ALL ABOUT EVE” holds.

American Broadcasting Company (ABC) telecast the whole ceremony, which was directed by Glenn Weiss and produced by Jennifer Todd and Michael De Luca. The hosting onus was done by the popular comedian Jimmy Kimmel and that was his first time hosting this extravaganza event. Jimmy actually nailed it with his witticism and hilarious speeches. Take a look to his Oscars Monologue.

 Besides the late-night show stopper – Jimmy Kimmel’s gags, the show experienced an unexpected freakish thing. When it comes to the best film of the year award announcement… a blunder occurred.When the 1967’s film “Bonnie and Clyde” co-stars enlighten the stage with their mesmerizing memories.

Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty were handed over with an envelope for the Best Picture award. Beatty opened up the envelope to reveal the surprise but got a little confused by the contents written over it… he passed on the card to his former co-star. There was LA LA LAND written under the name of Emma Stone, without any further delay Dunaway announced the best picture of the year award. The whole theatre filled up with applaud and cheers… All the crew of La La Land was hugging and celebrating the win.

The acceptance speeches had begun then suddenly some disturbance started among the back lined stars of great musical romance.. Then Jordan Horowitz, the producer of La La Land, came forward by saying that

“No no.. there’s a mistake. Moonlight you guys won the best picture.”

“No it’s not a joke… Moonlight is one best picture!”

“I’d like to say in the words of Martin Luther King: ‘Free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty, I’m free at last. Because Warren Beatty made this mistake, does he have to die?” Harvey asked. “Should he lose his life for this? Y’all want to kill him? Will he need security because of this?”

“We apologize to the entire cast and crew of La La Land and Moonlight whose experience was profoundly altered by this error, We salute the tremendous grace they displayed under the circumstances.”
