The Big "UH-OH" At The Oscars

A night of events takes a turn for confusion at the last second.

The Big "UH-OH" At The Oscars
vistanow

This year the Oscars were definitely one to remember. From having candy fall from the ceiling, to random Hollywood tourists being introduced during the ceremony, to performers being hit in the head, to the big confusion at the end.

To start the night off, Jimmy Kimmel appeared as the host for the Oscars. Many sat on the edge of their seats waiting for what possibly uncomfortable jokes were to be made. Most audience members remained untouched from Kimmel's jokes... unless your name is Matt Damon.

If the Oscars were not already exciting enough, Kimmel made it rain Junior Mints

and Red Vines from the ceiling. This exciting surprise had everyone at home leaping off their couch to grab something sweet to partake in the Oscar's sweet tooth. I guess we know who the new "candy man" is.

The ending was the most exciting part of the whole night. As "Bonnie and Clyde" presented the Best Picture award, utter chaos broke out. Fred Berger, Jordan Horowitz and Marc Platt from "La La Land "made their way to the stage to accept their Oscar that ended up being wrongfully given to them. It turned out that the wrong envelope had been given to Warren Beatty (“Clyde"). "Moonlight" had won Best Picture. SHOCKER.

"La La Land" graciously transferred the rightful awards to "Moonlight." Millions of people sat uncomfortable all around America at this incident while Beatty was trying to hog the mic to explain how he was at not fault for the mistake. Backstage people scuffled all around stage in order to get the right envelope to the stage and ensure the correct recipients took home the Oscar. Utter chaos was everywhere.

As an avid fan of "La La Land," I was outraged at the mistake at first. I thought to myself, "How dare they embarrass such talented people like that?!" After everything settled down, thoughts of clarity overwhelmed me. The moral of this incident should be that everybody makes mistakes. Celebrities are not immortal as we sometimes see them to be, they are human too. Think of your own life for a second; how many mistakes have you made in the last week? Yeah, yours might not have had as big of an effect, but they still are relevant. Let's all agree to not point fingers at who's fault this whole mishap's was but rather celebrate humanity.

Let's be like Emma Stone and take time to hug each other. Let's be grateful for imperfect behaviors that we all share in. Aren't you glad you are not the only one that messes up in life? We are trying to run this race of life all together, celebrities and civilians. So congratulations "Moonlight" and "La La Land," I think everyone deserves an award. Let's hug over it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
