Shareables: Oscars Envelope Gate Breaks the Internet

We here at Collider pride ourselves on the diversity of our content, but there are only so many hours in the day—we can’t possibly get to everything. That’s where Collider Shareables comes in. It’s your one-stop shop for anything from the week that falls more on the side of entertaining or amusing rather than newsworthy. And since we can’t write about everything that pops up on the world wide web in a week, this is the place to find smaller, intriguing curios and behind-the-scenes looks from the projects we’re looking forward to most.

This week was a busy one in the world of shareable content! First up, we’ve got tons of Oscars-related content following the insane Best Picture mixup termed "Envelope Gate" that left both La La Land and Moonlight fans reeling. Behind the scenes looks include Emma Stone and Brie Larson emotionally reuniting after Stone's win, the Internet's obsession with Gary, and our own Collider crew's stunned reaction to the mixup. Then, we’ve got a touching, Twister-related tribute to the late Bill Paxton, a sweet message of support from Taron Egerton to Hugh Jackman in honor of his performance in Logan, and a new Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 poster. Plus, Emma Watson stops an interview to help a reporter, the cast of Life answer fun questions in a quick-fire Q&A and we uncover an old music video from Oscar winner Mahershala Ali, back when he was rapping under the moniker "Prince Ali".

Bonus! If you like any of these shareable stories, you can get more by following Collider’s official Facebook page.

Envelope Gate

The Internet was abuzz Sunday night in the wake of one of the strangest moments in Oscar history: when it came to read the biggest winner of the night, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were handed the incorrect envelope, and announced the winner as La La Land. Midway through the team's acceptance speeches, the news came through – Moonlight was the rightful winner of the Oscar. Mania (and memes) ensued.

The Collider Crew Reaction

As the Collider team prepared to go live to discuss the exciting ceremony, the strange switcheroo was revealed – and everyone promptly went nuts.

Gary Becomes the Internet's Favorite Person

One of Jimmy Kimmel's more notable comic moments of the night came when he brought a group of (apparently) unwitting tourists into the ceremony, and the gregarious Gary quickly became a meme in his own right.

In the wake of the Best Picture confusion, Emma Stone hardly got to enjoy her win before the mayhem began. But in a touching behind-the-scenes video, we see Stone reuniting with her good friend Brie Larson, who congratulates her and brings Stone to tears. So sweet.
