Oscar Pix Mix

The worst Oscar miscue in its history will overshadow the winners and losers to a degree. How such a thing could happen and not corrected for several minutes will haunt the TV crew but especially the accounting firm who blew it....I was a bit surprised when Moonlight won Best Picture over La La Land which was starting to gain steam with multiple awards especially Director and Actress for Emma Stone. The vote may have been close. (Moonlight as a film does linger in the mind an

d heart.) Casey Affleck winning was a tiny surprise after Denzel was gaining steam with SAG. Viola Davis' winning set things right and this won't be her last visit to the podium. Mahershala Ali was gracious in his win.

Jimmy Kimmel did a fine job moving things along and ad libbing moments with good effect. The tourists being brought to meet the Oscar front row was funny and the snacks from the ceiling in parachutes were a nice touch. No major political speeches although there were a few statements that made their point. Ah, 365 days til the next Oscars....
