WATCH Oscars Mix-Up: Faye Dunaway Announces Wrong Oscar for Best Picture (Not Her Fault)

Hollywood stars Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway came on stage to present Best Picture. Beatty paused momentarily after the reading of the nominees, then handed the announcement to Dunaway who declared hot favourite La La Land, a musical about an inspiring actress, the winner.

However, as the producers made their speeches, host Jimmy Kimmel and La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz came up to reveal that the real winner was Moonlight, a three-part feature about a young man growing up in a rough neighbourhood in Miami.

Beatty explained that he was accidentally given the “Best Actress” envelope, hence the pause when he saw Emma Stone’s name.

Footage shows a delighted Charlize Theron, from South Africa, who was clearly a supporter of ‘Moonlight’.

The speeches then carried on as normal… See the list of Oscars 2017 Winners below.
