Moonlight has won best picture at the Oscars – but only after Faye Dunaway initially announced La La Land had won.<\/p>\n
Dunaway’s co-presenter Warren Beatty said “Emma Stone, La La Land” had been written in the envelope he was given.<\/p>\n
The team from La La Land were in the middle of their acceptance speeches when the mistake was discovered.<\/p>\n
Moonlight director Barry Jenkins said: “I don’t think my life could be changed any more dramatically than it has in the last 20 or 30 minutes.”<\/p>\n
His coming-of-age film about a young gay black man also won adapted screenplay and best supporting actor.<\/p>\n
La La Land won six Oscars including best actress for Emma Stone. Damien Chazelle, director of La La Land, became the youngest filmmaker to win a best director Oscar, at the age of 32.<\/p>\n
