The last category to be awarded at the Oscars ceremony is
the Best Picture. It’s supposed to be the key moment at the event but this time
it really didn't go to plan, as Faye Dunaway and co-presenter, Warren Beatty ended
up announcing the wrong name.
Dunaway announced romantic musical “La La Land” as winner
and the producer and cast of the movie had arrived on stage, picked up the
award and were in the middle of a hearty speech when someone realised the
error.
The winners card was then flashed before the cameras and it
clearly showed ‘Moonlight’ as the winner.
Warren Beatty then took the mic to explain that he had taken
so long to read the card in the first place because he was looking at something
that said Emma Stone had won. He showed it to Dunaway who announced La La Land
as winner.
“I opened the
envelope and it said Emma Stone, La La Land – that’s why I took such a long
look at you and Faye [Dunaway],” he told the audience. “I wasn’t trying to be funny.”
