There were two sets of thank you speeches for best picture at the Oscars last night. Presenter Warren Beatty opened envelope, and handed it to co-presenter Faye Dunaway, who announced La La Land as the winner. But in fact Moonlight was the victor. Informed of the mistake, La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz said from the stage, “There’s a mistake. Moonlight, you guys won best picture.” Beatty explained he had opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone. “I wasn’t trying to be funny,” said Beatty.
Other winners included Emma Stone (La La Land) as Best Actress, Casey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea) as Best Actor, Mahershala Ali (Moonlight) as Supporting Actor, Viola Davis (Fences) as Supporting Actress and Damien Chazelle (La La Land) as Best Director.
