At the end of this year's Academy Awards, Faye Dunaway announced that La La Land, the hot favourite, had won Best Picture.

Only seconds later, her co-presenter revealed that the envelop actually said that Moonlight has won.

Confusion reigned, and no one knew what was real anymore.

There's just too much emotion.

We struggled to understand what was happening

Does this change the past?

Was there a secret guest director?

Was it a Choose Your Own Adventure book?

Was it a conspiracy?

Did Beatty do it on purpose?

Some people were happy with the outcome.

But we can agree that they're both good films, right?
