AND THE WINNER IS...

In the most shocking mix-up in Oscars history, Moonlight won best picture at the Academy Awards — but only after presenter Faye Dunaway announced La La Land as the winner, setting off mass confusion inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. “I want to tell you what happened,” co-presenter Warren Beatty explained after the mix-up was revealed. “I opened the envelope, and it said ‘Emma Stone, La La Land.’ That’s why I took such a long look at Faye and at you. I wasn’t trying to be funny.” “Well, I don’t know what happened. I blame myself for this,” Kimmel joked after the moment. “Let’s remember, it’s just an awards show. I mean, we hate to see people disappointed, but the good news is we got to see some extra speeches. We have some great movies. I knew I would screw this show up, I really did. Thank you for watching. I’m back to work tomorrow night on my regular show. I promise I’ll never come back. Good night!” (Entertainment Weekly website)



I expect that, nearly everyone on planet earth has found out about the snafu that occurred last evening during the Oscars telecast. What needs to be determined is why this happened. So, today, I offer a multiple choice test.


WHAT EXPLAINS THE MIX-UP DURING THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BEST PICTURE AWARD DURING THE 2017 TELECAST OF THE OSCARS?

A.  The Russians hacked the voting of the Academy
B.  The Academy is racist and simply would not acknowledge the true winner of the voting.
C.  La La Land won the popular vote, but not the definitive ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
D. Warren Beatty who clearly knew something was amiss, was still too stupid to prevent the error and  allowed his co-presenter to blurt out the clearly wrong winner from the obvious wrong envelope.
E.  If we ask Barack Obama why this happened, the answer is... George Bush.
F.  FBI Director James Comey, who announced that he was reopening the investigation of the crimes committed by Hillary Clinton.
G.  Donald Trump won the election and all the Hollywood snowflakes should just get over it.
H.  Who cares? As Jimmy Kimmel said last night, "It's just an awards show." For example, when the Obama Administration announced the laughably wrong explanation for the Benghazi attack, the reaction to a youtube video that no one ever saw - that was much worse. But that was not a mix-up, that was a complete lie being perpetrated by the US Government.

and the correct answer is.....(drum roll, please...)

STREAKING

Streaking is the act of running naked through a public place as a prank, a dare or an act of protest. It is often associated with sporting events but can occur in more secluded areas. It usually involves running quickly which also reflects the original meaning of the word before it became associated with nudity. Streakers are often pursued by sporting officials or by the police


THAT IS NOT THE TYPE OF STREAKING THAT I AM INVOLVED WITH.
My 'streak' is that I have noticed that as of yesterday, I have walked 10 miles (at least) or more on eight consecutive days.  That is my walking streak.

streak: an uninterrupted series: The team had a losing streak of ten games.

Since I am a streaky guy, the pressure is on to keep it going...
