OSCARS LOVE TELLURIDE'S 2016 LINEUP
It was an insane night full of surprises large and small with the largest being the announcing of one Best Picture winner only to have that reversed in favor of a surprise upset winner. Moonlight won Best Picture but only found out after La La Land had been announced and a number of thank you speeches had come from La La Land producers.
Here is that moment from ABC News and YouTube:
Here are your winners from the 89th Academy Awards:

Other Telluride 2016 wins Arrival for Best Sound Editing and The White Helmets for Best Short Documentary.
Telluride's 43rd iteration hosted films with 13 Oscar wins out of 42 nominations.
For the seventh straight year (and eighth of the last nine years) the Oscar Best Picture winner has "premiered" for the first time on the North American continent at the Telluride film festival.
The FAC had a lackluster night going 15 of 24. In the other categories, the "upset" winner listed in Thursday's post won and in six categories the winner was off the FAC altogether on Thursday.
I'm really re-thinking how or even if The FAC is viable in its current incarnation.
Past FAC results:
2016: 15/24
2015: 20/24
2014: 22/24
2013: 18/24 (25 tie in Sound Editing)
2012: 18/24
2011: 17/24
2010: 14/24
So, there's that.
Finally another huge shout out to Barry Jenkins and the entire Moonlight crew. In all the years I've been writing about Telluride and the Oscars there has never been a truer expression of TFF in terms of the Oscar Best Picture winner than this at a number of levels and Barry's a good guy to boot. You can't ask for a better ending than that despite the weird way that it went down.
Congratulations Barry and Mahershala and Tarell.
Now, it's time to return to the first purpose of this space which is to begin to puzzle out the films that will make their way to the San Juans over Labor Day weekend in six months time.
More on Thursday.
