which film was the true best picture winner at the academy awards after la la land was mistakenly announced?

The true Best Picture winner was “Moonlight.”

What happened on the night?

At the 89th Academy Awards in 2017, presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were mistakenly given the wrong envelope for the final award of the night. The envelope they opened was for Best Actress, which had Emma Stone’s name for “La La Land,” leading Dunaway to announce “La La Land” as Best Picture.

As the “La La Land” producers were giving their speeches, the mistake was discovered onstage. Producer Jordan Horowitz then announced to the audience that there had been an error and that “Moonlight” was the actual Best Picture winner, showing the correct card to the cameras.

The real Best Picture winner

The Academy’s official Best Picture for the 89th Oscars is “Moonlight” (2016) , directed by Barry Jenkins. “Moonlight” ultimately took the stage and its producers delivered their proper acceptance speeches after the correction, making the mix‑up one of the most talked‑about moments in Oscar history.

TL;DR: After “La La Land” was mistakenly announced, the true Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards was “Moonlight.”
