2017 Oscars: Top Moments From the Ceremony1 of 12
"This is not a joke..."
The night's craziest moment, which will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in Oscar history, saw the Best Picture prize handed to the wrong film.
Bonnie and Clyde’s Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway reunited to present the last prize of the night, providing a long pause before stating that La La Land had won.
But as members of the team behind the hit musical delivered their speeches, it was revealed that Moonlight had actually won Hollywood’s top honor. Beatty explained that he’d been given the envelope for Best Actress, which La La Land’s Emma Stone did win. Amid all the chaos, Moonlight’s shocked representatives got their moment in the spotlight.
