Moonlight has won Best Picture at the Oscars – but before that, La La Land was announced as the winner by mistake. Watch the flub below.
The cast and crew of La La Land were already on the stage to give their acceptance speech, when one of the producers, holding the envelope up to the camera, said that Moolight had actually won the award.
Presenter Warren Beatty reportedly paused for so long because he had been given the envelope for the wrong category, which read, “Emma Stone, La La Land.”
Actress Faye Dunaway, however, quickly read the name 'La La Land.
Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel joked following the blunder: “I knew I would screw this show up. I really did.”
La La Land went into the Oscars with a record-tying 14 nominations, eventually winning six, and making 32-year-old Damien Chazelle the youngest person to win an Oscar for Best Director.
La La Land won the popular vote, but it was unable to win the electoral vote that Moonlight managed to win #Oscars
