'THIS IS NOT A JOKE'
·Updated:

In what is certainly the strangest ending to a major awards show in a long, long time (probably ever?), La La Land was announced as the Best Picture winner at the Oscars on Sunday… before it was announced that a mistake had been made and Moonlight was actually Best Picture… while the cast of La La Land was still on stage to accept the award: 

 

An envelope mixup was apparently to blame — you can see Warren Beatty's confusion when he opened the envelope to read the winner (his card read "Emma Stone – La La Land"), before having Faye Dunaway read out La La Land as the winner.

Deadspin grabbed footage of the Moonlight cast's reaction to the announcement — it's great. 

At least Steve Harvey has some company now.
