Whoa, they handed out the Best Pic Oscar to the wrong film!

[JudyM]

Crazy.

Whole group from La La Land was on stage and handed it over to the Moonlight crew.

Warren Beatty explained, "I opened the envelope. And it said Emma Stone, 'La La Land'. That's why I took such a long look at Faye and at you. I wasn't trying to be funny."

[Tracyjo]

1. Saw that

Crazy indeed!

[elleng]

2. Meaning what?

[Upthevibe]

4. HOLY FU###### OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elleng]

7. Oh NOW I understand

NOT!

[bettyellen]

11. He said he opened the envelope and saw Emma Stone so thought "La La" !?!? What? Best picture and you

Wing it?

[Brother Buzz]

17. No, he saw Emma Stone "La La land" and freaked...and stalled....

because they were announcing best picture, then passed the envelope to Faye, and all she saw was La La Land. Weird.

[bettyellen]

22. Wow. I just saw like three people from La La make acceptance speeches!

What the hell? Thank god they figured it out before it was over I guess. But damn!

[onecaliberal]

3. They gave the presenter the wrong envelope

[JudyM]

8. How embarrassing. Like the White House was running the show.

[longship]

5. Mistakenly gave Best Pic Oscar La La Land.

It was really won by Moonlight.

They corrected it.

6. Was Steve Harvey involved in this?

[bdamomma]

12. that is what

Jimmy Kimmel said.

Wow envelope screw up. Well the cast of La La Land were very gracious.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

14. No, but I bet he's feeling a lot better about his screw up

That was just a beauty contest. If it hadn't been Warren Beatty, the man would never work in this town again.

[miyazaki]

21. Or not. Now that he's probably an official meme for something like this. n/t

[GaYellowDawg]

23. No

But I bet Steve Harvey is the happiest man in the world tonight.

[MrPurple]

9. Are those awards envelopes one of Rick Perry's new responsibilities?

[Freedomofspeech]

10. They were given the best actress award envelope by mistake.

Warren Beatty knew there was something wrong when he looked at he card.

[MissB]

15. Oops!

[Cirque du So-What]

16. You had one job...

You know the rest.

[SunSeeker]

18. Yep.

[Cirque du So-What]

19. Sometimes...

even color-coding isn't sufficiently idiot-proof.

[JudyM]

20. The left hand didn't know what the right was doing. Beatty was confused & Dunaway just glanced.
