Warren Beatty was announcing the winner of Best Picture and looked super confused. He was even looking for another card. Faye Dunaway then takes it from him and announces La La Land. It sounds like Beatty says something like "it says Emma Stone."

La La Land entourage goes on stage to start accepting award, then the accountants who certify the results run up on stage and say "No, Moonlight is the winner."

I watched Moonlight on Saturday to get in front of the Oscars and I really liked it. La La Land was incredibly forgettable but Moonlight had a way of really sticking in my mind. The way Barry Jenkins shot a few key scenes really captured the way memories feel when they come back to you and how a few key moments in your life stick with you and make you who you are.

Seems like a bit of a down year for movies, but I really liked Moonlight. Glad it won. La La Land was a total nothing. It's not like it was bad. It just didn't leave any kind of impression on me other than Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling are likable and that's not exactly news.

I'm assuming you mean what lead to the "I'm [expletive] Matt Damon" video? Here's an article I found : http://time.com/4473441/jimmy-kimmel-ma ... -timeline/
It all began during the third season of Jimmy Kimmel Live! when the host off-handedly ended a discouraging show by apologizing to Damon for bumping him from the episode. After the joke got a laugh from one of his producers, he started doing it every night. "We had a bad show. … The guests were bad, and I was feeling pretty bad about myself at the end of the program," Kimmel told NPR in 2013. "And I decided to say, for the amusement of one of our producers who was standing next to me … 'I want to apologize to Matt Damon. We ran out of time.' … And he got a kick out of it, the producer, so I just started doing it every night to amuse him."
Just a random joke and Matt Damon has a sense of humor about it.

I watched Hush on Netflix last weekend. It's an effective horror/thriller. I recommend it.

I had it semi-spoiled for me but it's really good. I thought it was really well shot for a horror movie.

I think the expectation play would have been more effective had she dated some white men. Some other really minor plot holes.
