‘La La Land’ and the historic Oscar mistake
‘La La Land’ not only went down in history as one of the most nominated films, also gave to the Academy one of the worst mistakes.
During the 89th Academy Awards ceremony, the actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were in charge of making the last and most anticipated announcement: The best film of the year, what nobody knew is that they would say the wrong movie.
The actors announced to ‘La La Land‘ as the winning film, when it actually was’Moon light‘ who took the award.
