The ending was very unfortunate. Holy shit...
Jaws dropped as it was announced that âLa La Landâ was prematurely named the winner.
At the end of the evening on Sunday, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway presented âLa La Landâ with the Best Picture Oscar at the 89th annual Academy Awards. The thing was, âLa La Landâ didnât win ââMoonlightâ did.
Midway through the acceptance speech, Jordan Horowitz, a producer on the Damien Chazelleâdirected flick, stopped to announce that there had been a mistake. Host Jimmy Kimmel and presenter Beatty came out to reveal that âMoonlightâ was the actual winner. Apparently, Beatty was accidentally given the envelope for Best Actress, which was handed out right before to Emma Stone for her role in âLa La Land.â He saw the movie title and passed the envelope to co-presenter Dunaway, who announced âLa La Landâ as the winner.
As Beatty explained onstage:
âI opened the envelope and it said, âEmma Stone, âLa La Land.ââ Thatâs why I took such a long look at Faye and at you â I wasnât trying to be funny ... This is âMoonlight,â the Best Picture.â
