At the night’s climax, it had seemed “La La Land” had captured Oscar No. 7, winning the biggest award of the ceremony.
Then, in a surprise, it all turned around.
Through some sort of strange screw-up, Warren Beatty read the wrong name on the card and announced “La La Land” as the Best Picture winner of the night. A few moments later, it was announced that there had been a mistake and “Moonlight” had won Best Picture instead.
In the end, “La La Land” took six Oscars while “Moonlight” won its own fair share, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. The full list of winners included:
