If Faye Dunaway's looking for the Steve Harvey career bump, she needs to take full responsibility and apologize. Then maybe she'll get an afternoon talk show and the adulation of hundreds.

It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
I LOVE boring, woeful indie movies and Manchester was boring even for me. I guess it's the conceit of the movie but it was frustrating to see a film where the main character refuses to participate in any aspect of the story. The big climax in the last scene is that he finally decides to do a thing.

TMZ has interesting article as a companion piece that talk about how Beatty and Dunaway were feuding. Wouldn't even practice their walkout together and fought over who would announce the name. Faye won.

So some of her actions make a bit more sense. She seems to be pawing at him a bit like she's afraid he's going to steal her thunder, when he's just trying to make sense of the card. Also explains why she reads it out so quickly. There's some debate as to whether Beatty set her up "you wanted to read it, here you go". Or whether he was trying to show her the card so she could see the issue.
But Beatty screwed this up, because he was afraid to look dumb. He knew the card made no sense. All he had to do is turn to the side and say "Will someone confirm this is the right card?".
The producer for La La Land, handled it with class and a "take charge" attitude.
PS - I feel like I'm analyzing the Zapruder tape.

This Brian Cullinan guy from PWC had one of the easiest, most glamorous jobs in the world. And he managed to royally screw it up. Amazing.

Ha!
I just watched the whole edit for the first time and so many thoughts come to mind albeit in hindsight.
What took the PW guys so long to rush the stage?
Warren Beatty looked like a dunce trying to save face.
If I was up on stage and this went down...I don't know how to say it but I'd almost worry this was some sort of distraction for a terror attack...I mean PW supposedly has(d) super tight security over the envelopes...if that fails what else is going on? Almost like something out of a movie no pun intended. - Maybe that's a weird take sorry
And of course good for Jordan Horowitz...I didn't see anyone else up there ready to take charge.
Hell or High Waters is fantastic.
One of the best westerns in many years. It takes a hilarious look at the Texas gun culture on top of the main story line.
It's authentic West Texas.

I know that Warren Beatty isn't everyone's favorite human being, but I'm not sure how anyone could blame him or FD for that mistake. If I read a card that said "Emma Stone / LaLa Land," I'd assume I was losing my mind and be very confused. This is clearly on PriceWaterhouseCoopers.
Too much hate on this thread for Manchester By The Sea, particularly by people who didn't see it. It was not boring. Yes, it had some sad parts, but no harder to watch in those parts than many other great movies. Saving Private Ryan, Silence of the Lambs come to mind. Fantastic, realistic dialogue and I laughed a lot more than I got sad. When I walked out of it a couple months ago, I didn't think I'd be ready to see it again for a while, but would like to now.
I will see Moonlight and Hell or High Water when they come to video. LaLaLand was great and all wannabe/failed artists like me should see it. Hidden Figures was a compelling story. Didn't see the other best picture nominees.
Glad to see Zootopia get recognized. A surprisingly subversive and substantive big studio kids movie.
Stick to your guns.

Been watching Westerns since Shane and flicks about robbing banks since Gun Crazy. Hell or High Water is terrific. Great music too.

Finally saw Moonlight last night, and man, is it a beautiful movie.
