Maybe Warren and Steve Harvey were separated at birth.

Harvey had the right name written down and said the wrong thing. Beatty and Dunaway were handed the wrong card. Beatty at least didn't say anything. She was the one that just ran with LaLaLand when the card said "Emma Stone-LaLaLand"

The awards are, and always have been, a popularity contest for the Hollywood elite. Why did Stanley Kubrick never win best director? Because he did not live in L.A.; he lived in England. Because he was not a party animal; he was a recluse.
What is the only movie from 1968 that made the A.F.I.'s top 100 list? 2001 a Space Odyssey.

I figured the same thing. But then I realized that none of them can act well enough to pull it off.

If at least 35 million in the USA alone watched the broadcast last year, how relevant is the term "desperate attempt" here?

Kubrick came close with A Clockwork Orange, but he was unfortunately up against a juggernaut in The Godfather. I've probably watched Clockwork a couple of dozen times. It was a beautifully directed picture, rich with details and perfectly timed scenes. I think his best pictures were Paths of Glory (which wasn't even nominated but would have lost to Mike Todd's Around the World in 80 Days anyway) Spartacus (another film not nominated but pretty much universally considered a classic), and Full Metal Jacket (which ironically enough lost out in nominations to Platoon). I remember the first time I saw 2001. It was definitely a movie you had to watch multiple times to take it all in.

Streep did. With Javier Bardem for Best Cinematography. She lost Best Actress. I don't know if Clooney did.
