Twitter has a ball with historic Oscars flub
LOS ANGELES – Best Picture Oscar presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway apparently took the wrong envelope -- the one for best actress winner Emma Stone – onstage – leading to “La La Land” being named the winner of the night’s top prize.
When representatives for ballot tabulators Price Waterhouse Coopers realized a mistake had happened, they raced onstage to stop the acceptance speech for “La La Land.”
“Moonlight” actually won.
Then, reports CBS Los Angeles, Twitter went berserk with satire.
