There was shock, chaos and confusion in the Dolby Theatre when the wrong film was announced as the big winner of the night at the 89th Academy Awards.
Last night, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway presented the award for Best Picture and unfortunately for them they read from the wrong envelope. (Oops!)
The duo mistakenly announced that La La Land won the Oscar for Best Picture. The La La Land team was already up on stage giving their acceptance speech, when they were stopped mid-way and an announcement was made that Moonlight was actually the real winner!
La La Land was the night’s overall winner, taking home six Oscars for Best Director, Best Actress, Best Production Design, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score and Original Song.
Other winners include:
Best Actor
Casey Affleck

Emma Stone

Best Supporting Actress
Viola Davis, Fences

Mahershala Ali, Moonlight
