And the winner is…. La La Land… ooops, no it’s not!

And the winner is....

Warren Beatty and Fay Dunaway have made one of the biggest blunders it’s possible to make, in the world’s brightest spotlight.

Announcing the winner of Best Picture Oscar at the Academy Awards, the Bonnie and Clyde stars opened the envelope and Dunaway announced that La La Land had taken the prize.

Except that it hadn’t. Dunaway and Beatty apparently had wrong envelope, and Moonlight was the correct winner.

Unfortunately, La La Land’s stars were already on stage, giving their acceptance speeches, when the mistake became apparent.

Beatty then returned to the stage and had to force his way through La La Land’s cast to deliver the embarrassing admission.

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel also came back onto the stage to help sort out the confusion, saying it was a “really unfortunate” mistake.

Beatty explained that the envelope he opened said ‘Emma Stone, La La Land’ – Stone won Best Actress for her role in the film – and that he suspected he had the wrong envelope.

“That’s why I looked at Faye for a really long time,” Beatty said. “I wasn’t trying to be funny.”
