Um, the 2017 Oscars just pulled a Steve Harvey.
Specifically, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway just pulled a Steve Harvey, announcing "La La Land" as the Best Picture winner instead of "Moonlight," only to have the mistake cleared up well after the (incorrect) winners accepted the award.
So for anyone who turned off the TV just after midnight East Coast time -- after a 3.5-plus-hour show -- you got the wrong news!
The whole "La La Land" team already went on stage to accept the Best Picture Oscar -- and they had a lot to say -- before it was revealed in super-awkward fashion that Beatty and Dunaway had read the wrong name for the winner. It was insisted, over and over, that it was not a joke, and they even held up the card with "Moonlight" on it as proof.
Beatty tried to explain that he saw Emma Stone's name as Best Actress for "La La Land" and that led him to think that was the Best Picture winner. (What's Dunaway's excuse? She's the one who said "La La Land." By the way, why would they have the Best Actress card when Leonardo DiCaprio presented est Actress?)
It reminded everyone of Steve Harvey reading the wrong name for Miss Universe. At least he's off the hook for gaffes now!
Watch the painful moment play out:
