‘Moonlight’ Eventually Ends Up Winning Oscar for Best Picture

From awards prognosticators, to the confused, elderly cast of Bonnie and Clyde, to the producers of La La Land, trophies for Best Picture gripped in their hands—pretty much everyone thought La La Land would take home the big prize at last night’s Oscars. But then, after it briefly did, it didn’t:

Yes, if you missed it, last night’s Academy Awards were capped off with a Best Picture announcement of the Steve Harvey-est order. Due to a horrible, confusing mistake unparalleled since Crash was legitimately given the show’s highest honor, the wrong film was declared Best Picture.

As was hastily explained just after the gaff, it seems presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were somehow given the wrong envelope. Instead of getting Best Picture, they got the same card that had, minutes before, revealed Emma Stone as Best Actress for La La Land. Beatty, visibly befuddled seeing Stone’s name, showed his co-presenter as a both public and private “so this is weird, huh?”; Dunaway, seeing the film title written below, just went for it, announcing La La Land the winner. Only after La La Land‘s filmmakers took the stage and began their acceptance speeches that the error was awkwardly corrected: turns out, Moonlight actually won. It was the only noteworthy thing that happened the entire night.

Here’s a full list of the winners and publicly shamed losers:
