The whole world was watching the Oscars this morning. La La Land was poised to grab the Best Picture Award. It won several awards already and it was still the sure favorite to win Best Picture. Several films were also nominated for the top award for the night such as Moonlight, Arrival, Fences, Hacksaw Ridge, Manchester by the Sea, Lion, Hell or High Water, and Hidden Figures. Warren Beatty took to the stage to announce the final award and everyone held their breath.

La La Land! The crowd went wild and the cast and crew of the award-winning movie musical went up the stage. The director started his thanksgiving speech and started to tell everyone who he was grateful for. BUT WAIT! Someone went to the group and told them that it was in in fact “Moonlight” who won the Best Picture Award! Stunning silence and confusion ensues. Memories of Steve Harvey announcing the wrong winner for Miss Universe came flooding in. But there was an error for real! They gave the announcer the wrong card with Emma Stone and La La Land written on it! Moonlight was the actual winner!
