After a few moments, one of the “La La Land” winners announced that “Moonlight” had in fact won the award.
Presenter Warren Beatty said that he had opened the envelope to find a card that read, "Emma Stone and La La Land," leading him to pause in confusion. "I wasn't trying to be funny," he said. Faye Dunaway then looked over and read "La La Land" off the card.
"Moonlight" director Barry Jenkins took the stage in stunned amazement.
It was quite the Hollywood ending for Jenkins and his moving coming-of-age drama about a young, gay black man in a rough Miami neighborhood.
