You'll like this one Granty.
Price Waterhouse, a very large and very expensive Accounting Firm has done the vote tallying for the Oscars for the past twenty some odd years. I'm not sure why they need an Accounting Firm to add up about 350 some odd votes to determine who has the most votes and thus the winner of whatever Oscar they are giving out, but the "Trusted Name",....cough, cough, has been Price Waterhouse. I bet they won't be next year.
It seems as though Price Waterhouse demands the envelope back from the presenter(s) of the award as soon as they are done presenting. The next to the last award went to Emma Stone as Best Actress for her performance in "La La Land". The envelope was returned to the "Bean Counter" at Price Waterhouse, and the next award was for Best Picture. Well, the Bean Counter gave Warren Beatty the wrong envelope. he gave him the one that was just returned to him for "Best Actress" for her performance in La La Land. So, Warren Beatty, being about 185 years old and barely able to maintain a vertical position, much less navigate the earth's directional spin, declared La La Land as the winner of the best picture.
As I am watching this on TV last night and listening to the acceptance speech(s), I noticed a guy grabbing the Oscars out of the hands of the La La Land cast......and then, the Aw Shit happens. It was announced that La La Land did not win the Best Picture Oscar, but "Moonlight" did (Denzel Washington). It was one of the funniest scenes I have ever witnessed.....some guy wrestling Oscars away from Matt Damon, Emma Stone and about 10 others while the Director giving his acceptance speech. It couldn't happen to a more deserving cast.
Now then, maybe you don't know this, but two years ago the Black community complained that the Oscars were prejudiced because no Black Actors won any awards. So, last year there were a lot of Blacks nominated, but I don't remember any Black actually winning an Oscar. Thus, and I firmly believe this, "Moonlight" was awarded the Best Picture because Denzel Washington was the lead actor. The facts kind of speak for themselves....La La Land won a bunch of Oscars for various other things, like Best Actress, but Moonlight didn't win squat except "Best Picture"? Seriously?
It's all rigged and so damn political it isn't worth watching. The only reason I watched it was my wife kidnapped my TV in the bedroom before I got there.
She'll pay the price when the football season starts up again.
