London cinema admirably trolls audience in light of Oscars Best Picture blunder

A cinema in London reacted to the biggest screw-up in Oscars history by 'mistakenly' showing La La Land in a screening of Moonlight.

“A cinema in London reacted to the biggest screw-up in Oscars history by 'mistakenly' showing La La Land in a screening of Moonlight. Staff at the Rio in Dalston eyed an opportunity following the blunder which saw La La Land incorrectly named as Best Picture by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in place of actual winner Moonlight, and craftily played 20 seconds of Damien Chazelle's musical in place of Barry Jenkins' acclaimed drama. ‘It wasn’t the actual feature film, but a few seconds from a teaser trailer,’ the Rio's duty manager told Time Out. ‘Then we shut it down, and did a bit of fumbling to make it look like we made a mistake.’ The assembled audience reportedly burst into applause and laughter as soon as they realised what the community cinema was up to. The Rio has extended its run of Moonlight by a week following its Best Picture win. The film, which features an Oscar-winning performance from Mahershala Ali, has soared up the UK box office following Sunday night's ceremony”, source Independent, see the entire text in the link above!

Fearing Further Failure

So afraid of disappointing everyone who finally believes in me. For the majority of my life, I have always been the screw-up, the stupid one, the problem. Always falling short of what was expected of me.

For once, I’m doing everything right. I’m getting great grades and no one is mad at me for anything. Now I’m feeling the pressure and flinching at everything just waiting for the other shoe to drop.
