1. WOW. JUST WOW.

2. I know! I was watching at the time and I was awfully confused!

I thought it must be some kind of joke...

3. I made it to 11:30 the "Ben Affleck and guest" bit

Kimmel was excellent in my opinion.

4. I thought he was very good, too.

He was funny and good humored, handled everything that was thrown at him - including this! My friend agreed and said that probably means he won't be asked back...

7. Are we SURE Wolf Blitzer didn't read the card wrong too?

[Rhiannon12866]

8. If he did, would he ever admit it?

He strikes me as lacking in humor. I think Warren Beatty really tried to step up to the plate on this one, made a point of explaining exactly how it happened. And he has to know that this will be replayed and talked about for as long as there are Oscars!

11. I thought Kimmel was surprisingly good

I really didn't have high expectations for him, but he was one of the best Oscar hosts I've seen. He was so relaxed as if he'd been doing it for years.

5. That was surreal!!

[Rhiannon12866]

6. Definitely one for the record books!

9. Huh. I turned off the TV as soon as they announced best picture.

I told my daughter this morning that La La Land had won.

You can imagine my surprise when I turned on the morning news.

10. This really was unprecedented!

I was confused, but it looked like everyone there was, too. I can't imagine how it happened, but since it was Best Picture, of all things, I imagine they're going to be obligated to get to the bottom of it. Nobody's going to forget this, that's for sure! They'll be talking about this as long as there are Oscars!

12. There should have been only one more envelope backstage to hand them. Kimmel took the blame. nt
