Having made just over $22 million as of Sunday at the box office, it’s one of the lowest grossing best-picture winners ever - but also one of the most critically adored.

Barry Jenkins’ tender, bathed-in-blue coming-of-age drama, made for just $1.5 million, is an unusually small Oscar winner. It was, nevertheless, a shocking upset considering that La La Land came in with 14 nominations, a record that tied it with Titanic and All About Eve. Later the actress, who pledged her deep love of Moonlight, added, “Is that the craziest Oscar moment of all time? Cool!” “I think everyone’s in a state of confusion still,” said Stone.

Host Jimmy Kimmel jokingly blamed Warren for the mess:Īnd this was Emma Stone’s reaction on realising what just happened:īut backstage, Stone said she was holding her winning envelope at the time.

When they realized the mistake, representatives for ballot tabulators Price Waterhouse Coopers raced onstage to try to stop the acceptance speeches. Presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway apparently took the wrong envelope - the one for best actress winner Emma Stone - onto the stage.
