Remember last year's Oscar Best Picture mix-up? Here’s how it happened

With the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oscars 2018 kicking off this weekend, you're probably thinking back to last year's awards ceremony and one particular, unforgettable moment. That's right, I'm talking about the Best Picture mix-up which saw a Hollywood-style screw-up of epic proportions as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:La La Land was incorrectly announced as Best Picture instead of the actual winner - 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Moonlight.

So… what exactly went down? Let’s go through it step by agonising step and keep our fingers crossed that it doesn't happen to any of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oscar winners 2018:

It’s proཧbably best to start with the moment itself, if you can bear to look from through your fingers. Yes, it really is as t⛎oe-curling and embarrassing as it appears.

On a second-look (once you know what’s coming), youဣ can see Warren Beatty take way too long to read the envelope, a sure-fire sign that someone messed up big time. Despite checking constantly, he hands over to Faye Dunaway who blurts out La La Land. Oops!

In a twist ending straight out of the big book of Hollywood clichés, it turned out that Moonlight actually won Bes𓂃t Picture – cue laughter and a few gasps. They’ll make a movie about this one day…

It turns out that the blam🅘e lies with an accountancy firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, who set into motion one of the bigges♒t errors in Oscars history, all thanks to a rogue envelope...

It would be best to remove any tin foil hats, though, as two Oscars producers have duplicates of envelop🍃es and are waiting at opposite ends of the stage in case one set of envelopes goes missing. My💛stery solved.

Even better (or worse if you’re an Oscars producer) is that Warren Beatty was handed the envelope for Best Actress, which was already handed out to Emma Stone earlier in the evening, hence the confusion and hullabaꦐloo.

But the real hero was the La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz who ran on strange to procl♔aim that Moonlight won after being told by a stagehand and “That it’s not a joke.” He even showed off the winning card as proof:

Thankfully, everyone took it in good spirits, probably helped by the fact that La La Land had already picked up 🌌its fair share of Oscars. Emma Stone reacted with good graces, in her own NSFW style.

M. Night Shyamalan himself couldn&rsqu🎀o;t have made it up... or did he?

Tܫhe internet, as ever, were sharp as a tack in their responses:

And, hey, at least the Moonligh💝t cast have a story to dine out 🐓on for a long, long time.
