Last year at the Oscars, a crucial mistake was made in declaring the winner for the best picture.: the winner Moonlight was not declared, but another movie: La La Land. How could this happen? Actor Beatty opened the envelope with the winner and saw the name Emma Stone, who played the female lead in La La Land. This envelope was the wrong one, this was possible because two of each envelope were made. He hesitated and actress Dunaway probably thought he was joking and shouted "La La Land" with conviction., the wrong winner. Only when the entire cast of La La Land had gathered on stage to receive the statue, the producer of La La Land found out that his film hadn't won at all. The real flaw in this awkward story actually isn't with Beatty and Dunaway, but with the fact that they had the wrong envelope in their hands. The person responsible for the envelopes would check extra next time whether he is handing over the right ones, but unfortunately he will never get the chance to prove this, because that person was fired. Fortunately, the presenters get a second chance.
