Because 'La La Land' is either the best movie ever or the worst.
Steve Harvey Secretly Hosted
Alright, so around 9:10pm Pacific Time, Twitter descended into chaos. Once the dust, OMGs and Steve Harvey memes cleared, I managed to gather that La La Land was announced as the winner of Best Picture and started celebrating before they declared there'd been a mistake and that Moonlight actually won.

Along with all of those "3-1 lead" jokes and crying Jordan faces, add Steve Harvey memes into the repertoire of the internet's assault on La La Land tonight and into the near future. I didn't even have a horse in this race, but I'm pretty sure this is the best possible outcome from a Twitter entertainment perspective.
I wrote the ending of the academy awards 2017. @jimmykimmel we really got them!

The Oscars Were Full of "Hot Takes"
If you've been anywhere near social media for the last several months, you've no doubt seen plenty of uninformed "experts" giving their boring and/or just plain wrong "hot takes" about various topics. Well, everyone became an amateur film critic for the Oscars and decided to lay into their favorite (and least favorite) winning and losing films about nearly everything and anything.
#Oscars hot take La La Land was dumb and nobody cares about Ryan Gosling's feelings about jazz
