Oscars 2017: See the Complete Winners List

In a stunning upset, Moonlight ended up taking home the top award—after La La Land was mistakenly announced as best picture winner.

A lot of statuettes were handed out at Sunday night’s Academy Awards. All that anybody will be talking about, though, is the fact that best picture category presenter Faye Dunaway ended the event by mistakenly calling out the wrong best picture winner—handing an award to La La Land that actually belonged to Moonlight, and leading to chaos both onstage and off.

So, yes: Moonlight won best picture at the 89th Academy Awards, capping off an eventful evening in which La La Land did also end up as the night’s big winner, taking home six of the 14 Oscars it had been nominated for. Its haul included prizes for best director Damien Chazelle—the youngest person ever to win that award—and best actress Emma Stone.

The film seemed destined to take home best picture as well—though the first half of the ceremony, in which La La Land lost out on a series of below-the-line technical awards, may have signaled that the La La Land-slide many expected would not come to pass. After Chazelle’s film received the award for best production design, though, its fortunes seemed to have shifted—and as the night wore on, La La Land continued racking up prizes. It seemed perfectly predictable that the film would go on to win best picture as well, as Dunaway indicated it had—but in a shocking upset, the world learned halfway through the La La Land producers’ acceptance speech that Moonlight was, in fact, the big-ticket Oscar’s rightful winner.

Before that chaotic best picture announcement, the Oscars proceeded as planned—with most of the big awards being handed to predictable winners. Viola Davis got her first Oscar in the supporting actress category for her powerful performance in Fences; Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali walked away with a supporting actor statuette; Asghar Farhadi received best foreign language film for The Salesman, sending Anousheh Ansari, the first Iranian and first Muslim woman in space, to accept the award on his behalf. All seemed to be business as usual—until that twist ending, of course.
