Funniest Tweets Best Picture Mixup
The Internet Was Shook After the Wrong Winner Was Announced For Best Picture
The Oscars are always full of surprises and this year was no exception. When Faye Dunaway called out La La Land as the winner for best picture, the cast and crew went on stage to say their thanks. That's until, Jordan Horowitz, realizes the mistake and announces that the real winner is Moonlight. The internet then totally lost it.
PLOT. FUCKING. TWIST.
