First, you knew something was wrong when Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty seemed really confused after they opened the envelope. Now we know why — it said "Emma Stone, La La Land," according to Beatty.

First, you knew something was wrong when Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty seemed really confused after they opened the envelope. Now we know why — it said "Emma Stone, La La Land," according to Beatty.

The cast and huge crew associated with La La Land got onstage and producer Jordan Horowitz started giving his acceptance speech, like nothing was wrong.

But then he was informed that La La Land, did not, in fact, win, and Beatty came back to the mic to help explain.

Horowitz is like, "This is not a joke." Oh, but who sort of hoped it was?! Look at that producer behind Kimmel in panic mode.

He held up the Moonlight card to prove it.

Oof.

Meanwhile, the Moonlight cast is like, 'Wait . . . we won?!' The confusion is so real.

Then Beatty comes back to the mic to try to save himself and explain what happened (he had an envelope with Stone's name in it), but we were all still really confused.

And the two tried to resolve the biggest screw-up in Oscars history while the world was watching.

Sorry, Jimmy Kimmel.

Then the La La Land crew was like, 'Time to get off the stage!'

And Horowitz graciously handed over the Oscar to Barry Jenkins without a fight.

No beef here — just some real genuine hugging after a supremely awkward moment.

And then the Moonlight peeps finally got to give their acceptance speech.

And the two casts mixed like, 'So . . . that was weird.'

We feel you, Ryan Gosling.
