Wow, was that a hilarious and exciting Oscars last night OR WHAT?
My only complaint is that with Jeff Bezos in the audience, they should have delivered the Junior Mints via drone. Maybe they thought the egos would be filling up the airspace. (“They” were wrong.)
Andrew Garfield wins for best catch.
But Gary from Chicago…? Congrats on the nuptials, but please put the phone down!

I’ll not dwell on the epic mix-up because I hope it does not overshadow Moonlight’s win. Let’s remember the victor and not how it was announced.
Let’s get to announcing more Storystorm winners here, shall we? While I cannot promise delivery via drone either, I will promise to get the prizes right.

Gary from Chicago was KILLING me with his phone!!! I couldn’t believe he walked into the Oscars like that and just kept taking pictures like it was nothing.

Gary, chatting with Jimmy and taking snaps at the same time. LOL. And I also have to say, didn’t Warren Beatty take improv classes? I still partially blame him. All he had to do was say he thought he was given the wrong envelope.

His fiancée with her selfie stick was pretty funny too. I just can’t imagine being in their shoes and the only thing I can think to do is shove my phone in the celeb’s faces for a shot. And I agree about Beatty! Look at the envelope even if you are questioning if you had the right one! It sad best actress on the exterior! Jeesh.
