While the "La La Land" cast was onstage hugging one another and giving their speeches, producer Jordan Horowitz made an announcement that shocked everyone. "Moonlight" had actually won.
He then held up the card that proved "Moonlight" was the winner.
Actor/director Warren Beatty, who had presented the award with Faye Dunaway, took responsibility for the mistake, explaining that he and Dunaway had been given a card with the winner for best actress -- Emma Stone for "La La Land" -- and that Dunaway had then mistakenly read that as the winning film.
"I opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone, 'La La Land.' That's why I took such a long look at Faye, and at you," Beatty told the crowd amid the confusion on stage. "I wasn't trying to be funny."
The Moonlight crew then came on stage to receive their award as host Jimmy Kimmel tried to lighten the mood.
La La Land led the night with six awards, including Best Director for Chazelle and Best Actress for Emma Stone while Moonlight took home three awards

-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
This a behind the scenes problem. Had nothing to do with the presenters.
There are TWO ENVELOPES for security purposes, it wasn't the Warren Beatty or Faye Dunaway's fault. They are given the 2nd Best Actress envelope by mistake. The two envelopes for Best Film were still at the back unopened so this was a behind the scenes auditing issue. Fortunately the matter was resolved quickly.
It was dramatic for sure! something dat Stevie would've done.
i just hope they don't react same scene at the AMVCA come this Saturday

They were not given any two envelopes, if you watched the show last night, you would know that he gave an excuse that he saw Stone as best actress 'lalaland' but Stone said she had her best actress card all night. So how could he have made such a blunder as an excuse? Forget whites, they know what they're doing.
