Oscar 2017:Moonlight wins best picture after la la land incorrectly called

Very clearly, even in my dreams this could not be true, but to hell with dreams! I'm done with it because this is true. Oh, my goodness. I have to say it is true, it's not fake. We've been on the road with these guys for so long and that was so gracious, so generous of them. My love to "La La Land," my love to everybody. Man.
 Barry Jenkins, on "Moonlight" best picture win
According the Story of Los Angeles Times: In a stunning turn, "Moonlight" won the best picture Oscar after "La La Land" was incorrectly named. The "La La Land" team were in the process of giving thanks when it was announced that the wrong film had been read and that "Moonlight" was the real winner.
Emma Stone, Casey Affleck, Mahershala Ali and Viola Davis won acting awards. Barry Jenkins won the adapted screenplay award for Tarell Alvin McCraney's "Moonlight" and Kenneth Lonnergan for his original script, "Manchester by the Sea."
As the 'La La Land' cast was taking the stage to celebrate, a stage hand in the wings said, "Oh ... Oh my god, he got the wrong envelope." They walked back and forth repeating it.
Stage hands, actors, crew and journalists were stunned. Oscars Producer Michael De Luca was peering into his monitor, trying to figure it out. Champagne glasses sat on the table next to him. They had been poured moments earlier to celebrate a good show.
The Academy doesn't know what went wrong. Stage Manager Gary Natoli came running past just now saying, "Warren is holding on to the envelope. He will not release it."
When Kimmel returned from off stage De Luca told the show host, "Thanks for covering, man." And Kimmel responded, "Yea but no one is gong to remember that now. I don't know what happened. We will analyze every bit of it."
Meanwhile John Legend mused, "One wishes it was the right card. One wishes."
