Oscar Embarrassment: ‘La La Land’ Vs ‘Moonlight’ for Best Picture

Embarrassment at an Oscar scale at the Academy Awards announcement for Best Picture.

It was a big boo boo for the 89th Academy Awards night after Warren Beatty announced the wrong name for the most awaited honour of the night - Best Picture. Beatty along with Faye Dunaway had a few confused moments on stage before he announced La La Land as the Best Picture.

The La La Land team were in the process of giving their ‘thank you’ speeches when it was announced that the wrong film had been read and that Moonlight was the real winner.

Apparently someone had handed over Beatty the wrong envelope.

"Actress in a leading role" - who handed that to poor Warren Beatty. Feel so sorry for him. #Oscars pic.twitter.com/0bFg2m5v6M

So when Beatty, read Emma Stone for La La Land in his envelope - he just guessed that was the Best Picture as well.
