“Moonlight” won the Oscar for best picture on Sunday, beating favourite “La La Land” for the movie industry’s most prestigious award.
But in a highly unusual mishap, presenter Warren Beatty first, mistakenly initially announced that musical “La La Land” had won, causing confusion and uproar on Hollywood’s biggest night. Beatty said he had been given the wrong envelope to open.
Here’s how social media reacted to the goof up:

Warren Beaty is never going to do the #Oscars again. He must be so pissed at whoever gave him the card.
