Academy Awards incident

At the 89th Academy Awards, presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty announced that ''La La Land'' was the winner of Best Picture. However, they had mistakenly been given the envelope for Best Actress, a category in which Emma Stone had won for her role in ''La La Land'' several minutes prior.

This occurred after PricewaterhouseCoopers representatives appeared on stage to discuss the mistake with the team from ''La La Land'' and Warren Beatty.
