Cinema Sight by Wesley Lovell – Looking at Film from Every Angle. At the 1. 98. 4 Academy Awards, a befuddled Laurence Olivier, nearing the end of his storied career, came out to present the Oscar for Best Picture. Instead of reading the names of the films nominated for the award, he immediately announced the name of the winner as Amadeus. What wasn’t known at the time was that Olivier hadn’t opened the envelope revealing the name of the winner. He looked at the name of the first nominee on the back of the envelope, which happened to be Amadeus, and announced that as the winner. Fortunately, Amadeus was the actual winner. Nothing like that has happened since, but something similar happened at last week’s presentation of the 2. Academy Awards. This got me to thinking that instead of the mix- up occurring at the Best Picture presentation, suppose an incident like the Olivier one happened with the presentation of another award, such as Best Supporting Actress. Imagine that Mark Rylance had looked at the back of the envelope instead of opening it, and announced Viola Davis in Fences as the winner, but after giving her acceptance speech, it was revealed that the actual winner was Naomie Harris in Moonlight. It would have been devastating for both actresses. Instead, this year’s awards ended on a high note when Warren (Rules Don’t Apply) Beatty and Faye Dunaway, his Bonnie and Clyde co- star of fifty years ago, were given the wrong envelope, resulting in the announcement of tinsel- town favorite La La Land as the winner, when underdog Moonlight turned out to be the actual winner, resulting in a heartfelt expression of movie love between the producers of the two films. Coincidentally, both Moonlight and Beatty’s Rules Don’t Apply were released on Blu- ray and standard DVD two days later. There’s still more. Click here to continue reading.
