Warren Beatty completely to blame for Oscar flub — but then again, he’s just a dumb actor $1:
Line? Line?
That’s all Warren Beatty had to say to defuse one of the most colossal Oscar screw ups since “I Just Called to Say I Love You” won best original song in 1984 (um, “Purple Rain” anybody? Helloo).
The mistake is being blamed on the PricewaterhouseCoopers accountant who handed Beatty the Best Actress envelope instead of the Best Picture envelope — and certainly that accountant needs to be sent to whatever white collar prison that’s currently housing the thousands and thousands of Wall Streeters who caused the 2008 collapse and are paying their debt to society (just kidding!).
Because of said affliction, Beatty has spent his entire adult life avoiding having to think at all. His job is to feel, not think. When actors think, it really does get in the way. Directors get upset. Writers grumble. Producers order costly reshoots.
So when presented with a card that said, “Emma Stone, La La Land,” Beatty didn’t know what to do.
He obviously couldn’t think — from years of disuse, Beatty’s brain has atrophied to the size of the box office grosses for “Ishtar.”
