Sorry, just wrapping up my reaction to the bizarre ending to last night’s Oscars.
No matter how accurate your Oscar predictions were if you called “Moonlight” for Best Picture…but only after the award is briefly given to “La La Land,” then there are some people at Price Waterhouse Cooper who would like to speak with you.
What a crazy night.
“La La Land,” you will always have that minute and a half…and these tweets—the Dewey defeats moment of the 21st century:

And of course, “Moonlight,” congratulations. I hope your hearts have recovered.
And now both of you, you are grace, poise, and class incarnate and handled that moment as well as I imagine it could have possibly been handled.
Let's face it, it's kind of @jehorowitz for the win here after the Best Picture #Oscars mistake! https://t.co/Dev9dVkuRP pic.twitter.com/Qg25m1qeUY

Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, there’s a Bonnie and Clyde joke to be made here:
If you've never seen the ending of Bonnie and Clyde, they just reenacted it on live TV. #Oscars

But to be clear, it was not their mistake (or Emma Stone’s)…
Accountants from PriceWaterhouse stand on opposite ends of stage with an identical bag of envelopes – surprised this hasn't happened before. https://t.co/1vYjP2u8io

If you think you’re having a rough start to the week, just remember no one took your Academy Award back after 90 seconds of glory. And if that’s not enough motivation for your Monday, I don’t know what to tell you…
…bi-daily smile…
