The Internet Is Shook After the Wrong Winner Was Announced For Best Picture

Feb 27 2017 - 6:30am


The Oscars are always full of surprises and this year was no exception. When Faye Dunaway called out La La Land as the winner for best picture, the cast and crew went on stage to say their thanks. That is, until Jordan Horowitz realized the mistake and announced that the real winner is Moonlight. The internet then totally lost it.

PLOT. FUCKING. TWIST.

Others were glad Moonlight won.

The LaLa Land guy was like "let's keep making movies that celebrate diversity" and God was like, Hmm I have an idea
