Updated | Critical favorite and underdog Moonlight won best picture at the 89th Academy Awards, but only after La La Land was mistakenly announced as the winner. Presenter Warren Beatty said he paused so long before the name was read because it was the wrong envelope—it read Emma Stone, La La Land, after Stone had just won the award for best actress.
The New York Times is right—the truth really is hard to find.
Casey Affleck won best actor for Manchester By the Sea. La La Land did win a six Oscars, including best director, best original score and best song.
