See the Looks on the Faces of Meryl Streep, Matt Damon, and the Rock as Epic Oscars Flub Is Revealed

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but when we look at this, we see just three letters: OMG!

On Monday, hours after the Oscars aired and included an epic flub of the Best Picture category (La La Land was announced as the winner when it was really Moonlight), a photo capturing the reactions of audience members including Meryl Streep, Matt Damon, Michelle Williams, and the Rock made its way to social media. Talk about best picture — the genuine, truly shocked looks on the faces of these actors are a sight to behold.

Busy Philipps, who attended the show with BFF Williams, shared the shot, writing, “Just woke up. 4000 of my closest friends have texted & emailed me about this picture. I’m so glad there’s visual evidence of what it was like to be sitting there in that moment. I MEAN!!!!”

If you slowly go face by face, you’ll see what we mean. Damon’s expression perhaps said it the best… until you see Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson’s eyes. Streep looks horrified. Salma Hayek looks like she had the wind knocked out of her. Mel Gibson is in shock. Williams and Philipps were giving some good jaw-dropping OMG faces. These are the best actors in the biz, after all.

Now, we’re not sure what Ben Affleck is looking at. He’s either trying to make eye contact with BFF Damon (Did that just happen?), or maybe he was still processing his brother Casey’s Best Actor speech, which made him tear up. (Don’t let me get caught crying on camera after the commercial break too!) Sting and Trudie Styler weren’t really showing big reactions either — perhaps they were just in the midst of one of their (mental) marathon tantric sex sessions. (Just spitballing here.)

Warren Beatty, who along with his co-presenter Faye Dunaway was responsible for the gaffe (they had the Best Actress envelope, but inexplicably still read it), spent the better part of the post-show defending himself. Outside the Dolby Theatre en route to the Governors Ball, the 79-year-old actor told a small cluster of reporters, “I read the card that was in the envelope. I read it, but I didn’t say La La Land. I thought, ‘This is very strange because it says Best Actress on the card.’ And I felt that maybe there was some sort of misprint. As planned, I gave it to Faye, [who said La La Land]. And that’s all I want to say on the subject.”

Beatty even carried the envelope, which was wrongly handed to him by producers, around with him to the parties as proof of his innocence, according to the Daily Beast.

No matter how the mix-up happened, the dramatic moment at the end of the show certainly gave everyone a kick in the gut at the end of a long, drawn-out (did we say long?) awards show. The A-listers in the audience, included.

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway Announce Wrong Best Picture Winner

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, stars of 1967’s classic Bonnie and Clyde, appeared at the Oscars on Sunday to mark the 50th anniversary of the film.

The duo presented the best picture Oscar at the 89th Academy Awards, taking the stage to resounding applause from the audience.

Beatty and Dunaway announced the wrong best picture winner, announcing La La Land instead of Moonlight the correct winner.

“This was not a joke,” Beatty assured everyone, after admitting to the mistake.

This was Dunaway’s first time presenting the best picture award on Oscars night, but Beatty has done it twice before – once in 1975 and again in 1990. Beatty recently made a return to the screen, with his first film appearance in front of the camera in the 2016 drama Rules Don’t Apply, which he also co-wrote, produced and directed.

The 89th Annual Academy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, were held Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center and aired on ABC.

Trump decides to skip White House press dinner

By Mike Stone and Andy Sullivan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he would not attend the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, a high-profile event that draws celebrities, politicians and journalists.

“I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!”, Trump wrote on Twitter.

On the campaign trail and in the White House, Trump has had a strained relationship with the press, calling journalists “the enemy of the people” and frequently criticizing outlets and individual reporters whose coverage he does not like.

The reporters’ group said it would go ahead with its April 29 dinner despite Trump’s absence. The Washington event typically draws movie stars, politicians and business leaders to hear a humorous speech by the sitting president.

The dinner “has been and will continue to be a celebration of the First Amendment and the important role played by an independent news media in a healthy republic,” said Jeff Mason, a Reuters White House correspondent who heads the association this year.

Ronald Reagan was the last president to sit out the event after he was shot in 1981.

Some news outlets such as Bloomberg News and the New Yorker have said they will not host the lavish after-parties that have been a fixture of past events.

On Friday, the White House excluded several major U.S. news organizations, including some it has criticized, from an off-camera briefing held by the White House press secretary.

Reporters for CNN, The New York Times, Politico, The Los Angeles Times and BuzzFeed were not allowed into the session in the office of press secretary Sean Spicer, a decision that drew strong protests.

The event occasionally makes news: in 2011, President Barack Obama delivered a scathing evisceration of Trump, joking that the mogul, who sat stone-faced in the audience, would move on from questioning Obama’s citizenship to figuring out “did we fake the moon landing.”

Critics say the event encourages journalists to cozy up to politicians they should cover aggressively.

NASCAR Fans Suddenly Upset by Monster Energy Girls’ Revealing Outfits

Monster Energy Drink is in hot water. The beverage brand paraded around its famous Monster Girls at Clash at Daytona, a NASCAR event that took place this past Sunday. The girls were scantily clad, as car-racing models tend to be. But this time, for some reason, viewers were not happy about it.

The uniforms consist of black leather corsets, black leggings, necklaces with the drink’s logo as a pendant, black boots, and a lot of makeup and hairspray. That’s more than the average Kardashian wears to a meeting. But fans were outraged by the look, and took to Twitter to express their feelings.

Some were upset because NASCAR is apparently a family program, and they didn’t want their children seeing such scantily clad ladies.

Others went as far as to liken their look to hookers.

And some wished NASCAR would revert back to the girls they used at last year’s Sprint models, who were covered head to toe in racing gear.

Some users made the point that this is actually a lot of clothing compared to the outfits models have worn in previous races, which included bikinis.

Another pointed out that, compared to the cheerleaders in most sports, this is a lot of coverage.

“Look at the old races when the girls wore bathing suits,” Mitch Covington, Monster’s vice president of sports marketing, toldESPN. Needless to say, Monster is not budging. “Monster has always been about racing and girls, and that won’t change,” Covington said.

He compared this year to when Monster first started with NASCAR in 2009: “Our models today were conservatively dressed compared to what they had on back then.”

According to ESPN, Covington has had no discussion with NASCAR officials about changing the outfits and “doesn’t expect to.” In fact, you can expect to see these lovely ladies and their leather corsets at the Feb. 26 Daytona 500.

No. 2 Team Penske driver Brad Keselowski understands why parents watching might be upset but thinks they need to look at the bigger picture. “When you have kids and you start to see the world through their eyes because you’re raising them, you see how much differently we all look at the world,” Keselowski told USA Today. “Because my daughter doesn’t see a scantily clad model — she just sees another person who’s wearing black or whatever colors or a lot of leather. She doesn’t see sex appeal. She’s a kid. … So sometimes people say, ‘What about the children?’ No, it’s more reflective of you seeing this as over-zealous than your kids, because your kids have no idea, and that example could be applied in a number of other areas.”

Keselowski added: “I always feel like how you feel about situations like that is reflective of your own baggage, and it’s not fair to apply it to others.”

What do you think of the outfits? Par for the course or an accident waiting to happen?
