Poor Warren - he really should have just stopped and made someone come out to tell him what to do.

Well, it's time for me to say goodnight.

KevinH · « **Reply #332 on:** February 26, 2017, 09:20:56 PM »

Goodnight!

And one of the few times in recent history where best director didn't mesh with best picture.

I wonder if John turned off the TV before they caught the error?

I have never seen a bigger F**k-up on the Oscars. Not Warren Beatty's fault.

Somebody handed him the wrong envelope.

I think it happened once before when they gave the wrong envelope to Sammy Davis Jr. He realized it and adlibbed about calling NAACP

Yes, but Sammy just announced the winner before reading the nominations. Then, after he read the nominations, he said "Guess who won".

I'm now watching The Oscars from the beginning and recording it onto my DVD burner to make DVDs for a couple of friends.

Oh, really Druxy - you, who couldn't be bothered to attend our partay because they weren't going to watch the Oscars, watched the Oscars. I don't forget anything, ever.

Everyone on everyone's favorite site, Facebook, was so very quick to blame Warren, when a) he clearly was befuddled at the card, which is why he said NOTHING - it was Ms. Dunaway who finally announced the wrong winner. But that's Facebook for you.

At least we got to twelve pages, and thanks to those who attended our Bash. I don't forget anything, ever.

I think a hot shower is in order. My voice has been funky today, but I feel okay so hopefully I'm still winning the damn fight.

I'm watching the 16 year old girl sing the nominated song from Moana and noticed that she got bonked on the head by one of the dancer's flag/wing/things! She kept singing without (literally) missing a beat!

The fun part of these last two performances was that we followed the competition rules.

TCB · « **Reply #346 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:22:10 PM »

At the start of the performance, all of the set and props and anything else we need for the performance must be contained in a 10' X 10' square on the stage.

TCB · « **Reply #347 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:24:34 PM »

When the judges say go, we have ten minutes to assemble the entire set and place all the props for the show. If you exceed the ten minutes you will be allowed to continue but will be disqualified at the end of the performance.

TCB · « **Reply #348 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:25:47 PM »

The timers are then reset and we have exactly sixty minutes to present the play.

TCB · « **Reply #349 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:26:56 PM »

When we finish the play, the clocks are reset again and we have exactly ten minutes to strike everything and return it to the 10X10 square.

TCB · « **Reply #350 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:28:47 PM »

All three sections are carefully timed and exceeding the time on any of the segments disqualifies the entire production.

TCB · « **Reply #351 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:29:46 PM »

It was fun.

TCB · « **Reply #352 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:31:05 PM »

Our set up today took just over five minutes, the play ran just over 55 minutes and the strike took a little less than four minutes.

TCB · « **Reply #353 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:31:57 PM »

The audiences really seemed to enjoy watching all three sections.

bk · « **Reply #354 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:35:17 PM »

Still no official explanation about the mixup, which seems odd.

TCB · « **Reply #355 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:44:46 PM »

I need to switch computers.

TCB · « **Reply #356 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:57:13 PM »

I have returned to find an empty room.

TCB · « **Reply #357 on:** February 26, 2017, 10:59:19 PM »

Now I have to wait until Friday for our competition.

TCB · « **Reply #358 on:** February 26, 2017, 11:02:22 PM »

Then Sunday morning we have our awards' brunch.

TCB · « **Reply #359 on:** February 26, 2017, 11:05:31 PM »

And we also find out which theaters are going to the Regionals at the end of March.
