The Oscars had a variety of choices this year choosing every option more wisely than ever. Mahershala Ali is the first Muslim actor to ever win an Oscar and Viola Davis is the first black woman to win an Oscar, Emmy, and Tony. Let’s hope Oscar’s jury will remain unbiased and have a versatile range of winners every year.
A similar incident happened in the year 2015 when Miss Universe’s host Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner of the pageant as Miss Colombia when it was actually Miss Philippines; he immediately apologized for the blunder.
