Large lettering could have saved a whole lot of Oscars drama.
Actor Warren Beatty walked onstage at Sunday’s Oscars meaning to announce the winner for best picture, but in his hand was a card with the name of Emma Stone, who had already been declared best actress that night for her role in La La Land. The photo above shows Beatty’s card was not the one meant to end the show, but reading such small type in the heat of the moment — while assuming you were handed the right slip of paper — is a lot to ask. Seemingly puzzled, he showed stage-mate Faye Dunaway the card, and she said “La La Land.”
