Well then why call it dumb?

Just a assumption, honestly. Wouldn’t be surprised if I’m wrong.

I’ll just say Zootopia is definitely not a “dumb” film.

I never said it was dumb, I said that it winning was dumb…and I admitted I have no idea what I’m talking about. 😉

I think Price Waterhouse is in a lot of trouble for that Oscar screwup. Maybe the Academy could give the La La Land people a consolation prize? 😉

Pixar usually dominates the category, but hasn’t been doing much besides sequels lately.

As you have kids, that’s kind of a surprise you haven’t seen it.

I’ve seen more kids movies this year than I would have preferred (including Secret Life of Pets, Trolls, and Storks) but I somehow dodged (or missed out on?) Zootopia, Moana, and Two Strings. My wife took my girls to see the first two and I don’t think any of us saw the third.

You pretty much saw all the wrong ones Frink. Well done, I don’t think you could have messed that up more.

When I first saw the commontion, I thought there might’ve been a tie (having noticed Beatty’s hesistance). That’d’ve been cool.

Whomever is responsible for the wrong card getting in Beatty’s hands, should be fired.

Storks sucked. The other two weren’t as terrible as I was expecting (although Trolls was still pretty bad).

When you’re married with kids, you count yourself lucky if you don’t have to go to every kids movie. Seeing the wrong ones is an unfortunate and sometimes unknowable side-effect of not having to see all of them.

All I see here are excuses.

Because they covered up Beatty’s screw up, right?

I believe I admitted I was in error about that.

You did? Your post read to me as sarcasm but if so I’ll drop it now.

Sorry it wasn’t meant as sarcasm, just making a joke by kind of imitating the apology from Price Waterhouse.

Ha, I completely missed that part of it, my bad.

We’re ignoring the far greater problem from the Oscars. Suicide Squad won the Hair and Makeup award. We now live in a world with Academy Award Winner Suicide Squad. Star Trek: Beyond used makeup and prosthetics to create 50 unique alien species, and was beat by Suicide Squad. “Damaged” forehead tattoo, pale goth loser, Sharpie®-skull-face, smuged, ugly Suicide Squad

I saw someone on Twitter say (paraphrasing) “thank god that Warren Beatty wasn’t given Suicide Squad’s Hair and Makeup card.”

Yeah, they definitely deserve to lose their livelihood over handing somebody the wrong envelope about a movie. That’s a fireable offence if I ever heard one!

I sincerely apologize to Frink and the other posters and viewers of this thread for the errors that were made during my posts. I had been mistakenly convinced by the video that the category envelope Beatty originally had was the same one that was taken from him and displayed on camera and when discovered, this was unfortunately not immediately corrected. I am currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred.

LOL. No sense of humour my left foot.

They caused the wrong movie to be announced as the winner. They embarrassed the Oscars and Price Waterhouse and caused difficult for the people involved in the making of the two movies. How you like to win a huge award, only to find out they announced you by mistake? How would you like to be the actual winner have your moment ruined due to something like this? Someone screwed up royally.

I wouldn’t like it, but I also wouldn’t seek to ruin the livelihood of the person who made the mistake, because I’m not a narcissistic asshole.
