Oscars 2017: Moonlight wins best picture after La La Land mix-up

The most coveted award of the Oscars has descended into chaos, with an unprecedented blunder seeing La La Land mistakenly named the Best Picture winner, instead of Moonlight.

The celebrated musical had been widely tipped to win, and its cast and crew were on the stage accepting the gong when they were interrupted with the awkward words no Oscar winner wants to hear: "I'm sorry, there's a mistake."

Shockwaves rippled through the Dolby Theatre as it became apparent there had been a major mishap.

Presenter Warren Beatty tried to explain that he and Faye Dunaway announced the wrong winner because they had been given the wrong envelope to open.

"I opened the envelope and it said 'Emma Stone, La La Land'. I wasn't trying to be funny," said Beatty, who had looked confused as he fumbled with the card for a long time before the ill-fated announcement.

Host Jimmy Kimmel came forward to inform the cast that Moonlight had indeed claimed an upset win, showing the envelope as proof.

La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz repeatedly said "this is not a joke" before graciously passing his statue to the Moonlight team, saying they deserved the golden statuette.

"It is true. It's not fake. My love to La La Land, my love to everybody," Moonlight director Barry Jenkins told the stunned crowd.

He went on to attempt to salvage a normal acceptance speech, saying: "There was a time when I thought this movie was impossible."

Insiden Salah Sebut Pemenang Film Terbaik di Ajang Oscar 2017

Pagelaran Oscar, penghargaan film yang paling ditunggu-tunggu, berubah menjadi kekacauan ketika film ‘La La Land’ keliru disebut sebagai pemenang kategori Film Terbaik (Best Picture) padahal pemenang sebenarnya adalah film ‘Moonlight’.
Film musikal ‘La La Land’ banyak dijagokan menang. Saat kekeliruan disadari, para aktor dan kru film ini sebenarnya sudah berada di panggung menerima piala. Mereka kemudian diinterupsi dengan kata-kata yang tak ingin didengar pemenang Oscar manapun: "Maaf, ada kesalahan."
Kekagetan-pun menyeruak di Theatre Dolby karena kesalahan besar baru saja terjadi.
Presenter Warren Beatty mencoba untuk menjelaskan bahwa ia dan Faye Dunaway mengumumkan pemenang yang salah karena amplop yang mereka terima salah menyebutkan nama pemenang aktris terbaik, Emma Stone, dan film berjudul ‘La La Land’.
"Saya membuka amplop dan di situ tertulis 'Emma Stone, La La Land'. Saya tak mencoba untuk berkelakar," kata Beatty, yang tampak bingung saat membaca tulisan di amplop.
Pembawa acara Jimmy Kimmel kemudian maju untuk menginformasikan para aktor bahwa film ‘Moonlight’ memang menjadi pemenang, sambil menunjukkan amplop sebagai bukti.
Produser La La Land, Jordan Horwitz, berulang kali mengatakan "ini bukan lelucon" sebelum memberikan piala kepada produser ‘Moonlight’, dan mengatakan bahwa mereka pantas menang.
"Ada kalanya saya berpikir film ini tak mungkin," kata sutradara Moonlight, Barry Jenkins, kepada penonton yang tertegun.
"Jadi saya hanya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua orang di sini yang mendukung saya. Semua orang di luar sana di ruangan itu. Karena kami tak melakukan hal ini, kalian memilih kami," lanjutnya.
