When you get down to brass tacks, Lord of the Rings was a glorified trip back to Jared.

Everyone knows that the finale of the Oscars was pretty much a disaster, but still a pretty funny one, especially Warren Beatty's reaction to seeing the envelope and promptly throwing Faye Dunaway under the bus.
But why are you listening to me? Why not get the story from the host, Jimmy Kimmel.
In a clever ploy to fill seats without paying seat fillers, the Oscars a brought a group of unsuspecting tour bus riders to sit front row at the Oscars.
But what really made the night was when Gosling whispered a secret to one of the riders, who is still getting over whatever the hell is happening to her. Twitter blew up with people theorizing what the secret could be. Here are some of the best guesses.
Having done this thing 89 times already, the Oscars sure did screw up last night, botching both their Best Picture winner and giving Best Costume to this:
They also accidentally put a living person in the In Memoriam, paying tribute to Janet Peterson but using a picture of Peterson's friend Jan Chapman, who is alive.
This is some next level, Steve Harvey kind of shit. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway ended up stealing the show, and igniting pure unadulterated outrage/confusion from people tuned in to the Academy Awards when they read that La La Land won the award, though Moonlight was the actual winner. This is the kind of show-stopping, cringe-inducing FAIL that almost hurts to watch.
As we've mentioned, there was a big, huge, embarrassing mess up at the Oscars last night, when Warren Beaty read the wrong card for Best Picture, accidentally giving Moonlight's Academy Award to La La Land.
While this is bad for La La Land, it's great for the internet, which exploded with memes about the mess up. Check it out:
Can we just give the bad-mouthed merc the big shiny golden trophy he so damn well deserves, and at the very least for his string of stellar performances amidst some pleasantly raunchy marketing campaigns. Speaking of which, let's take a quick trip down memory lane...

Would expect nothing less from Reynolds. Here's the 'award letter'!
And can we take it back to that phenomenal 'interview' he staged for GQ as Man of the Year recently as well?
Whatta guy. We love you, Ryan, and sincerely wish you the best on your journey to bring home Deadpool's righteous and well-deserved Oscar.
Admit it, unless you're a really big movie fan you probably didn't watch all of the Oscars. That's why we're here to sum up all the most important parts. From Leonardo DiCaprio finally winning that Oscar, to memes about Leonardo DiCaprio FINALLY winning that Oscar... we've got it all.

After everyone (even Oprah herself!) online pointed out the obvious to @TotalBeauty, they did try to smooth it over with a charitable donation.
The Tumblr blog Don't Call Me Oscar is run by photographer Maggie Storino. These adorable recreations of the Best Picture nominees are not just cute, they can tell the future. Storino told Mashable, "A little known fact about 'Don't Call Me Oscar' is that it's a good predictor of the Oscar winner; since we've been on Tumblr, the photo with the most notes has won Best Picture 3 out of 4 years."
