What happened last year?
Things did not go smoothy. The Oscars had to apologise after picturing someone who was still alive in their In Memoriam montage, Nicole Kidman showcased the world’s weirdest clapping, and, of course, the Best Picture Oscar (traditionally the biggest award of the night) was mistakenly given to La La Land rather than the actual winner, Moonlight.
