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.
So when Beatty, read Emma Stone for La La Land in his envelope - he just guessed that was the Best Picture as well.
With the HUGE oops! moment, the 89th Academy Awards goes down as a truly historic one.
