MESA, Ariz. – Movie buff John Axford followed the Oscars at a Mesa-area restaurant Sunday night long enough to learn that La La Land had won, as he’d predicted it would.
He packed up and headed home, secure in the knowledge that he’d successfully picked 20 or the 24 winners correctly. Once he got home, however, his phone exploded with text and Twitter messages.
Axford had missed the part where the wrong call had been made and that Moonlight was the real winner. His Twitter followers wanted him to know that he was right on 19 of his picks, not 20.
