Last year, comedian Maron Maron writer Chuck Klosterman A guest on him WTF podcast. Two He discussed many things (Including Klosterman’s new book at that time, What if we are wrong?He was there to introduce), but one of them was sport – and the excitement they offer to the audience. Sports events, Klosterman, promised the most dramatic things: an unknown result. Unlike other commonly monitored events – the primary point of the sporting activities of the Grammys, Oscars – Sports Activities between Super Bowl Circuit, is that the end of the end is that it is unpredictable. Everything can happen in them.
Well. Although you can say a lot about the Oscars on Sunday, you cannot say that the showy prizes show is boring. The 89th Annual Academy Award Ceremony brought a confusion and full pleasure to its audience because they came together to announce the best painting of Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway and announced the wrong film because of the backdrop of a scene. Chaos – and really, really good TV – try. Tired Eastern cups were called back from bedrooms to living rooms on the grounds of “Ohmygodooou’vegottoseethis”. Twitter exploded with jokes – About the repetition of Bonnie and Clyde Schrödinger’s envelope“They beat Dewey Truman” An Oscar -friendly update. It was late on a Sunday evening and it was unexpectedly in the most unexpected ways and my colleague was everything like Adam Serwer perfectly summarized– In the moonlight.
However, everything was really unexpectedly, reminding how rare the audience had become collectively witnessing. This was a live TV, all the potential human error that he can bring in the depths of live TV and heights. On Sunday, the people who left their sharks to the world roughly gave the same mechanics and “still insisted” tattoos and the term “wardrobe fault”: Oscars looked surprisingly. The best picture Flub has become disgraced overnight for the reason of its predecessors: To prevent expectations, it is very rare in mass media produced at a rate of high rates.
We know a lot these days. Actually we are Of course Too much – about politics and human psychology and Hollywood awards and the right components of Guacamole. At a time when Google has made a lot of information accessible instantly, knowing has become an assumed being in American cultural life. Oooh, this show had to be perfect. This movie had to be terrible. Poke bowls are something now. Great cultural events, Grammys and Emmys and Oscars are the culmination of this stance in many ways: we know exactly what to expect from them. As they played, we can report that everything went according to the plan, because we knew what should be from the beginning; We can also make this reporting with a disappointment note. After all, there is less than meet expectations.
In this context, Beatty-Dununway-Ocar Flub was a gift to the audience (and perhaps for ABC’s future live-appropriate ratings). It was also a proven and proven thing for Chuck Klosterman’s Maron at once. Hollywood’s highest, most ceremonialized and most expectation-oriented rituals applied to the live sports activity was everything-Happen logic. This was a powerful thing: for a moment in the United States, the best painting that frequently accepts that “reality” is something that can be produced and experienced, Oscar Flub reminded that reality still has its own production values.
Yes, the fluB was also a lot of things: MoonlightIt deserves to win the best picture and threatens victory with error and subsequent dramas to be in the shade. A shame for La La LandThe producers made full acceptance speeches before learning that their “winnings” was wrong. For both professional and non -non -photographers, a field day has made reaction shots on stage and behind the stage and between famous audiences. A moment of grace La La LandProducer Jordan Horowitz met Jimmy Kimmel’s cheeky proposal that everyone should buy an Oscar politely challenging “I will really be excited to deliver this to my friends Moonlight.”And also, of course, a metaphor for the sling and arrows of the 2016 elections. Alternative facts. A tool for many jokes At the expense of Steve Harvey.
Mostly, with the appearance of something, a bending end in the most bizarre ways: a shock to the hands of interesting reality, not an insightful manufacturer. Twist Sons, the events in the early 2016 and 2017 may be a descriptive feature of the 2016 presidential campaign, the reality show, in the last chapter Pundit-ratta has found that the premise of the pioneer; 2016 World Series Another Muzaffer Underdog; Super Bowl Li won the expected winners, but only after the game has overtime. However, their bending took place in unknown events by definition. The Oscars were shocked. Expectation, forced to be blocked.
And so: he was stronger in a world that knew too much and in the end waiting for a few things. Inside One trial for Screen paste Last year, Erin Whitney said, “Ours is a culture built on an expectation that the films ended with scenes that mocked the next installment in Franchise, and that a moment does not allow what we have just seen. Analyze TV Land BendsAnd Find the albums Years before hearing a single song. ”This process has led to the slow death of surprise, Whitney, Whitney.
The best evidence for this may be that marketers have recently focused on amazing consumers – capitalism is doing their best to keep such a spell alive. . Droped album. . Surprise TV show. . Secretly produced trailer. Live, anything Coull-Happen TV musical. They are trying to catch What Klosterman transferred to Maron he WTF Interview: “Sport is a connection with authentic vitality” Author bay comedian. “This is not something that no one can control or do a script. This is the unknown thing.” “There is something interesting about ‘nobody knows’, because you don’t experience it anymore.”
Until he did – until it enters the most brilliant and sacred of all stages of Hollywood. The best picture of Sunday is not just iconic; Also, in addition to other things, your mistake The result of President Trump’s revenge on Jimmy Kimmel’s revenge; or A joke taken by Kimmel; or Leonardo Dicaprio’s Dark Procedures. It may have a meaning; For now, it is unclear how the wrong card enters Warren Beatty’s hands. What they forgot is what Klosterman knows and all these happy masses know with him on Sunday: the best conspiratory people are often the great capacity to make big and dramatic mistakes.
