Remember when Steve Harvey royally f*cked up the Miss Universe pageant by announcing the wrong winner? Well last night was so much worse.
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced that La La Land won the Best Picture Oscar. Sadly the cast’s happiness only lasted a few minutes when the two presenters corrected themselves and declared Moonlight the actual winner. It was the most entertaining part of the night by far, and by Monday morning, the academy was still at a loss for words as to how the mishap happened.
Let’s refresh:
