Because 'La La Land' is either the best movie ever or the worst.
La La Land is Finally Winning Things
It was a rough first few hours for white people on Twitter, as the tweets disappointed at La La Land's losses were only slightly more diverse than a Make America Great Again rally. I'm not sure what John Legend or Sara Bareilles (I forgot she still existed, to be honest) have to do with La La Land winning, but it seems like they both performed and the most self-indulgent movie about LA I've ever heard of won a few different categories. Cue the comparisons to Adele beating Beyonce.

Nicole Kidman Doesn't Know How to Clap
Arguably the most disturbing thing I've seen all night is this GIF of Nicole Kidman clapping. Not only is it the most awkward white person applause I've ever seen in my life, but her fingers look unreasonably long while she's doing it.

Seriously, this is worse than 50,000 people trying to clap in sync at a music festival, and it looks more painful than anything. It's like the golf clap and the awkward white bro handshake had a baby, and it was still trying to figure out how to applaud on its own. If this clap was any stiffer and more forced, it'd be the Nicole Kidman of applause. It might be the only image I remember from the entire evening.
