Repost: Moonlight Wins Best Picture Oscar, After Warren Beatty Gives Award to La La Land

Moonlight has won the best picture Oscar in an unlikely victory, sensationally defeating the strong favourite La La Land.
This was after Faye Dunaway read out La La Land as the victor – and the cast and crew took to the stage and completed many of their acceptance speeches. Chaos then reigned as Warren Beatty, with whom Dunaway had presented the prize, returned to the stage to admit their mistake.
“I wasn’t trying to be funny,” said Beatty, explaining that they had been handed the previous winner’s envelope – for Emma Stone’s La La Land victory. “That’s why I looked at Faye for a really long time,” said Beatty.
Directed by Barry Jenkins and adapted from an unpublished playscript by Tarell Alvin McCraney, Moonlight won near-universal critical plaudits for its depiction of the coming of age of a gay black teenager from a rough neighbourhood in Miami.
Moonlight premiered at the Telluride film festival in 2016, and generated Oscar momentum straightaway, winning a string of awards including best drama at the Golden Globes and best feature at the Gotham awards.
It defeated nine other films in the Oscar race: apart from hot favourite La La Land, it also beat Kenneth Lonergan’s grief drama Manchester by the Sea and the commercially successful Hidden Figures, about black female mathematicians who worked on Nasa’s moon mission in the 1960s.
This makes Moonlight the lowest-budget best picture winner of all time: made for $1.6m, so easily trumping its nearest rival, Precious, whose budget was between $6.5-$10m.

Was She Gang Raped?
As the Asian market seems to be overcrowded, NT was invited by a wealthy clan to go further to another city, where rules are strict when it comes to certain behavior. Thus, NT was well behaved and pretended to be in the said country for work. She traveled with a colleague to make the ruse seem real. Staying in an expensive hotel, the grapevine was abuzz that she was fantastic and worth the payment.
Then, a very rich Businessman (BM) decided to hire NT and see if the stories about her pleasurable talents were true. NT agreed to meet with her new client for a night. The deal was sealed and it was just for him and her. BM was very satisfied and mulled over the idea of hiring NT again.
As the encounter was indeed memorable, BM booked NT a second time. As he was a repeat client, NT felt complacent and went up to the room alone. The moment NT entered the hotel room, she felt odd because the door was shut quickly. Soon, two other men came out from the bathroom and she realized she was set up for three men. She could not escape and had to perform for the three men.
After the ordeal, NT felt violated, but she could not say anything. She could not complain nor report to concerned authorities. She was in a land where women are treated like dirt and selling one’s body would meet the harshness of penalties. Besides, she was allegedly paid handsomely. However, NT, despite all the years in the alleged trade, spent the following days crying and trying to forget what happened.
“A teachable spirit and a humbleness to admit your ignorance or your mistake will save you a lot of pain. However, if you're a person who knows it all, then you've got a lot of heavy-hearted experiences coming your way.” ― Ron Carpenter Jr.
