It is being hailed as the biggest cock-up in Academy Awards, ney all awards, history (maybe even all of history itself) – when La La Land was mistakenly announced as the 2017 winner of the Oscar for Best Picture.
But the winner was really Moonlight, whose makers were eventually given the gold statuettes only after La La Land‘s producers had delivered their acceptance speech.

The epic fail capped off a typically hours and hours upon hours long Oscars ceremony that was this year regularly punctuated with digs and put downs of the newly installed President Donald Trump and his deeply controversial administration.
The typical Hollywood lefty elite taking free swings at the alt-right poster boy. Well, until the gripping #OscarsFail climax, and then Trump’s riled up cheer squad had a field day…
The Hollywood elite were so busy calling Trump a racist, they forgot to give a black man the biggest award of the night #Oscarfail #Oscars pic.twitter.com/epyBhMKkDT
