The Oscars 2017 will go down in history as the most talked about award show after last night’s major f*ck up!

In a shocking mixup that had jaws dropping everywhere, “Moonlight” was honored as the best picture — but not before “La La Land” was first mistakenly announced as the winner.

The presenters for the final award — Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway — were supposedly given incorrect Best Actress Award envelope instead of Best Picture. A confused Beatty saw Emma Stone’s name and “La La Land,” and handed the envelope to Dunaway, who then announced the musical as the Best Picture winner.

The “La La Land” cast took the stage and producers began their speeches. But they stopped midway when they realized their error.

“There’s a mistake. ‘Moonlight’ you guys won best picture,” Jordan Horowitz said to the shocked Dolby Theater audience. “This is not a joke, come up here” the producer added. “Moonlight has won best picture.”

Beatty then returned to the microphone to explain: “I want to tell you what happened. 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. I wasn’t trying to be funny.”
