Best Picture

Why would it be designed any other way?

It also needs the names of the producers who actually get the award.

Because 99.9999999999999% of the time you're getting the right envelope for your presentation.

Its got nothing to do with racism, geesh. Hollywood has been turning out such clunkers that even a movie that isn't really a masterpiece could still win if its competition is also lacking. What the point is, is that they contrived this phony mistake to generate buzz for an otherwise very forgettable Oscars show.
We had Fake News. Now we also have "Fake Reviews". They are paying off nobody movie reviewers or telling them to post favorable reviews to hype lame movies to get people to see these turkeys. Mad Max Thunder Road, Rogue One, bad movies that are somehow supposed to be incredible. If you see an overwhelming positive response, wait a while and look what others are saying about it, not paid reviewers.

That's not the "no defects" way of thinking.

Prove it instead of launching another conspiracy theory.

One man's clunker movie is another man's treasure.

I never see a movie based on a movie review. Blaming movie reviewers for people going to see movies is hysterical. Not. Different people have different likes and dislikes when it comes to movies and everything else under the sun. Obviously movie reviewers will disagree too.

These are Best Picture nominees by definition the masses don't like them. That is why so many are nominated in hopes of drawing in viewers

Regardless of if Moonlight is a good movie or not....it's won for political reason.

Every time a black person or film win an award people always try to minimize it by saying it's for political reasons, it's never because it was deserving.

You do know it was the most acclaimed film of the year.

Wrong. As are most conspiracy theorists. LOL

Price Waterhouse just admitted to the blunder, and even named the culprit. This company survives on its rep, so they would never ever ever admit to making such a momentous mistake if it were not completely true.

Best get your facts straight next time before you pop-off about something being rigged or staged, eh mate?

"Rogue One" wasn't nominated for anything major and its reviews were not incredible, but I guess we should give the studio credit for making you believe it had received great reviews when it didn't.

In fact you prefer what regular viewers think, well looking at several sites including IMDB which has over 251,000 votes for it, they scored "Rogue One" an 8.1/10, so regular moviegoers gave that film far better reviews than paid critics who mostly thought it was so-so.
