MORE Oscars drama?? Apparently so… solely this one you wouldn’t have heard about on TV. And truly that’s the place the troubles start…
According to Puck News, Best Song nominee Diane Warren was livid at how Ariana Grande and her Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo dealt with presenting the award! And apparently she let everybody round her realize it, even going as far as throwing a “mini tantrum”! It wasn’t about dropping out to Billie Eilish for the tearjerking What Was I Made For from Barbie, per the publication. It was the very fact Ari went straight from the banter to studying out the title of the winner — with out ever itemizing the nominees! Meaning Diane’s title didn’t get talked about earlier than Billie’s win…
Warren is a perennial nominee within the class however all the time a bridesmaid. She’s been nominated 15 TIMES, together with nearly each single yr since 2014. Often, like this yr, her nomination is the one space wherein its film will get anyplace near an award. This yr’s track was The Fire Inside from Flamin’ Hot — the primarily based on a not-at-all-true, born-in-a-marketing-meeting story of the origin of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Yeah, not precisely Oscar bait. And but Diane will get these nominations, it doesn’t matter what. Not all the time for plain bangers that get airplay or go away a cultural footprint. But Oscar noms, these she will rating each time. She simply has the knack, we guess.

But Diane apparently wasn’t pleased with only a nod. It wasn’t sufficient that her track was carried out by Becky G onstage on the prestigious ceremony. The approach Puck News stories it, she needed the namedrop. And truthful sufficient.
But she did truly get one.
This wasn’t Ariana’s mistake, btw. For some cause the present didn’t suppose it was essential to recap the classes that had been introduced all through the evening. You understand how viewers had been confused as to why Al Pacino didn’t learn the nominees for Best Picture earlier than saying the winner? Well, they did the identical factor with songs. Each one received a efficiency as an alternative, and within the intro to that efficiency they introduced the film, the songwriters, every part. Here’s that one, hear carefully originally…

But one point out apparently wasn’t sufficient for Diane, per this report. According to them, eyewitnesses noticed her leap up instantly because the present continued, working across the orchestra stage looking for somebody to complain to, like a member of the Board of Governors. It was so embarrassing, per the report, that Flamin’ Hot director Eva Longoria noticed it and “bailed for the lobby.” Oof.
Honestly, we agree they need to take the notice from each incidents and simply recap the nominees subsequent yr. Heck, if for no different cause than we’re positive Warren will probably be there once more!
What do YOU suppose, Perezcious readers??
