Two days on and we’re still cringing at the awkwardness of the Oscars’ finale when Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were given the wrong envelope, incorrectly announcing La La Land as Best Picture, only later to find out the winner was in fact Moonlight (See the moment for yourself here). However, the internet has of course had great fun with the ceremony’s blunder, and so we’ve complied some of the best reactions from that very awkward incident:
Call me Warren Beatty. I can help you get through this! #Oscars

And even Oscars’ host Jimmy Kimmel has mocked the moment on his own show:
But jokes aside, it was a strong ceremony, which saw Barry Jenkins’ sublime Moonlight win three big awards. See the full list of winners here. And we’ll close this article with another bizarre moment from the eventful night, behold Nicole Kidman’s strange clapping technique:
