Did you watch the Academy Awards last night?
If so, you might still be a bit confused!
Yes…the movie, Moonlight won the best picture!

According to CNN- Entertainment:
In one of the strangest moments in Oscars history, “La La Land” was announced as the winner — but that was wrong. After giving their acceptance speech, the producers of “La La Land” took the mic and said they actually lost the award to “Moonlight.”
“This is not a joke.’Moonlight’ has won Best Picture.”
How difficult for everyone. I feel sorry for the “La La Land” cast and the “Moonlight” cast. Thank goodness this kind of mistake does not happen often!!
So…the winners are:
- Moonlight is the best picture
- Emma Stone won best actress of “La La Land”
- Casey Affleck won best actor for Manchester by the Sea
- Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali for Moonight
- Supporting Actress: Viola Davis, for Fences
- Both Original Song and Score went to La La Land
I thought that Jimmy Kimmel did a great job as the host of the evening. I loved the candy coming from the ceiling and the busload of tourists!!

I had the opportunity to watch the Academy Awards on TV with my family. They invited me to their home to share the fun.
My grandkids set up a party and even cooked and set-up the snacks for the evening. They are 10 so it was a big deal ! It made for a special event!
So…please understand that this blog is rather short tonight. I couldn’t get home until the show was over!!

Do you remember Clay Aiken singing Fantasy on Season 3 of American Idol? It was a catchy song from the group.
Clay was a guest on the show and sang with the Top Four contestants.
What a fun memory!
Clay…we miss you! A tweet would make us feel so much better!
I must have missed that Idol show. It was nice that they had him back for a visit. The song was very good. So were the final 4 as back up singers. I didn’t watch the awards show Sunday because I don’t think Hollywood shows should be a place for political opinions. They showed all the gowns on one of the iPhone news sites. The mid show commercial video was available but I didn’t watch that either. I’m glad Jimmy did a good job. Thanks for the video. It was new to me. ❤️ UNCONDITIONAL love for you Clay.
I watched the Oscars last night and most of my favorites received the honored statue! Love the Claymemory from 2004 on Idol!
I did watch the Academy Awards last night, but because I'm on the east coast it was sometime after 11:30 when the Best Picture was announced. Can you believe that I fell asleep and woke up at 12:30 am! Had to wait until this morning to learn about the mix-up. I had forgotten about Clay singing with the girls on season 3. Looking back, I noticed how casually they were dressed. In the later seasons every contestant was trying to outdo the others in their attire.
Love that video! He looked so happy singing! My how long ago that was!
i dint watch last night the oecars but ive herd about the mistake and i also waned to say congradulations jimmy kimmel you did a good job iliked the video on idol when clay was singing with those girls in season 3
