David Edelstein, CBS film critic, did an Oscar preview segment that aired on CBS Sunday Morning today. He gave a good rant about how many of his favorite movies from 2017 aren’t even on the best picture list. He also rightly bashed the stunt pulled in last year’s Oscars with the faux false announcement of “La La Land” for best picture. Then, while venting his outrage about the injustice the stunt served “Moonlighting” the actual winner, he said “The first black gay movie ever to win has to come in through the back door?”
Did he actually say that? Yes. Yes he did.
