As the cast and crew of both films realised what had happened. But it was moonlight, about a boy growing up in miami to a crack addicted mother, which in the end took the award for best film. Its Director Barryjenkins gave his reaction. The last 20 minutes of my life have been insane. I dont think my life could be changed any more dramatically. The early favourite to win best picture, la la land, will feel hard done by. But in the end the team behind it won six oscars including best actress and Best Director. Lets go live to hollywood and our entertainment correspondent Colin Patterson is on the red carpet at the after show Vanity Fair Party. Colin, colin, colin what a night. Colin, colin, colin whata night. I was listening to you on the radio when it all unfolded. How did it go wrong . There was i having to do Radio Commentary on the moment and boy, did it go wrong . It couldnt be more wrong faye dunaway reading out la la land but it all turned into moonlight. So what did go wrong, colin . It will tell as in a minute. Pricewaterhousecoopers have just given as a statement which i can read to you. We can seriously apologise to moonlight, la la land, faye dunaway and Warren Beatty and oscar viewers for the mistake in the announcement. The announcers were given the wrong envelope. We are investigating how this could have happened. We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the academy, abc and jimmy kimmel handled the situation. I am on the green and white carpet at the Vanity Fair Party and it is all anyone here has been talking about. That is an impressive cigar, sir. You are live on the bbc. Thank you. This is a 2k ca rat on the bbc. Thank you. This is a 2k carat gold cigar and i thought it only appropriate to bring it out on a night like tonight. Guess what, this building is only a building but this building is only a building but this moment is everything. Why . Moonlight winning . Moonlight winning. Here is the thing. I love emma stone, i love her. But when moonlight won, and they corrected, it was this type of moment. It was a 24 carat gold cigar moment. I thought that transcended john rhodes, cultures, races, genres. And we really get to see what it means to understand the power of view. That is what i am about. Love and peace. Ithought view. That is what i am about. Love and peace. I thought moonlight represented that and i thought it deserved it. Iwas represented that and i thought it deserved it. I was glad to see that moment. Barry jenkins is deserved it. I was glad to see that moment. Barryjenkins is a good friend of mine. I am so proud of what he is doing. Ali is a good friend. Introduce yourself and then we have got to go. My name is kobe randolph. I am gatsby. We have got to go. My name is kobe randolph. Lam gatsby. I we have got to go. My name is kobe randolph. I am gatsby. I will see you in cannes. We made history tonight. There we go. The vanity fair after show party. That is quite a. Fair after show party. That is quite a cigar this is envelopegate. This is the moment it all went wrong. Applause. And the Academy Award. Go on. La la land. I am sorry, no, theres a mistake. Moonlight, you guys won best picture. This is not a joke. Moonlight has won best picture. Moonlight, best picture. Applause and cheering. I am sorry. Guys, this is very unfortunate what happened. Personally, i blame steve harvey for this warren, what did you do . i want to tell you what happened. I opened the envelope and it said emma stone, la la land. Thats why i took such a long look at faye and at you, i wasnt trying to be funny. I have to say, and it is true, its not fake, weve been on the road with these guys for so long and it was so gracious, so generous of them, my love to la la land, my love to everybody. Warren beatty opened the envelope and then he handed it to faye dunaway because he didnt know what to do. We will talk about all the winners injust a moment. Bbc presenter Martha Kearney was at the Oscars Ceremony Inside The Dolby Theatre because her husband chris shaw was nominated for an oscar for Documentary Watani my homeland. Heres how everyone inside the auditorium reacted to the mistake. Everyone looked at each other and wondered was this some kind of prank because it had been quite a fun oscars programme, maybe this was a joke . And then he just said to the audience, this is not a joke. And everybody around us gasped with astonishment because theyd never seen anything like that whatsoever. And then after that it was chaos because there was the cast of la La Land On Stage and then the people from moonlight came on stage. Nobody really knew what had happened. Then Warren Beatty stepped forward and tried to explain. He said that when he had opened the envelope he had started talking rather slowly and he said this wasnt a joke, it was because he had seen what was written there, which was emma stone, for la la land. Clearly the winner of the previous category. He didnt know quite what to do so he handed the envelope very slowly over to faye dunaway and she read out la la land. If you look back on it, not total conviction in her voice when she said it and then they clearly knew something had gone very, very seriously wrong. That was one hell of a Hospital Pass when Warren Beatty handed faye dunaway that envelope when everyone was filing out of the dolby theatre, obviously thats the only topic of conversation and i gather ryan gosling was in the same limo queue as you. I know how strange that sentence is, but he really was. He was waiting for the limo at the same time as we were and i saw him on his phone and i have to say his face, completely understandably, looked like thunder. Can you imagine that moment . You know, the most widely tipped film, everybody thinking you are going to win, you are up on stage, your moment of glory and then to have it absolutely snatched away from you. I feel sorry for the moonlight people, as well, because their moment was to a certain extent spoiled as the oscar was being snatched from one hand to another and then at the side of that chaotic gathering there was poor faye dunaway Holding Hands with one of the other women on the stage obviously horrified at what she had been a part of, as well. I mean, absolutely extraordinary. Everybody filing out was saying i have never been to an Oscars Ceremony like that before. Confirmation, if confirmation were needed, moonlight won the Academy Award for best picture after that la la land mix up. Casey affleck won best actor. Thats for his portrayal of lee chandler, the grief stricken janitor in manchester by the sea. Victory for la la land, this time for emma stone as best actress, who played a young woman desperately looking to make her way as an actress. Mahershala ali won best Supporting Actorfor his role as a drug dealer in miami in the best picture moonlight. Hes the first muslim to win the award. Best supporting actress went to viola davis for her role in fences, playing rose, the wife of Denzel Washingtons character troy maxson. Damien chazelle became the youngest ever to win the Best Director prize for his work on la la land and finally oj Made In America the film depicting The Rise And Fall of oj simpson from Sporting Superstar to being at the centre of the most publicised murder trial in history that won best documentary feature. Film critics Jason Solomons and Gaylene Gould are here to talk through oscars night. Good morning first of all. Has a mistake like that ever happened before . Not like that, not at the climax, not for best picture. There was a rumour that many years ago that the best supporting actress for my that the best supporting actress for My Cousin Vinny was the wrong price but it has never been proven and it only came out some time later. But that was never proven. What i dont understand last night, what all those envelopes were doing up there. Red envelopes. It is like a chinese wedding in there he has one in the background and Warren Beatty is holding another one and the producer has one and then oscars galore and i think Warren Beatty has still got one i dont know what he is doing with it. I dont know how that chaos was allowed to happen. Amazing. What is brilliant, the producerfor la la land, jordan horrowitz, not just is brilliant, the producerfor la la land, jordan horrowitz, notjust in, thatis land, jordan horrowitz, notjust in, that is a composer, it was very important that it came from him. Not just important that it came from him. Notjust in. Important that it came from him. Not just in. That important that it came from him. Notjust in. That transition of power. He was the guy who said it isnt a joke and he handed up the envelope. Did the best film when the best picture . Yes, in my opinion. Give us a Brief Summary of what it isa give us a Brief Summary of what it is a bad for those who havent seen it. It is a tiny film and a complete passion project. Barry jenkins created this project very much based on theirvery created this project very much based on their very difficult backgrounds in miami on a housing project, with crack addicted mothers. They created this piece which was supposed to give a sense of grace to their beginnings and it is one mans journey told through three stages of his life as he comes to terms with his life as he comes to terms with his own sexuality and sensuality in this very tough environment. It is beautiful and it is tiny and it is perfectly formed. What did you think, jason . Did the right film when that award . I think it is a Ground Breaking baited to win this award and the lowest Budget Picture ever to win best picture. 4 million, i think, ever to win best picture. 4 million, ithink, and ever to win best picture. 4 million, i think, and the numbers change considering the Exchange Rate and things like that. It is not like hollywood. It is more like asian cinema. I was looking at the previous best picture, and i went back to 1969 and Midnight Cowboy to find one that played with cinema so well. On the first All Black Cast to win an oscar. La la land i loved as well, i have got to say, and they could feel hard done by, but to see them both up that means that hollywood has a new ways and that wave broke on the stage last night. There is a fresh look in hollywood and it belongs to the younger generation. La la land was the favourite to win best picture. It is worth reminding them that 7000 Academy Award members ranked the nine pictures in the category in order of preference. Why didnt la la land win . This is a perfect ending to the oscars for me. This oscars was always about la la land versus moonlight. La la land is a film about hollywood and the romance of cinema. That is what normally drives the hollywood machine. But there was a backlash because of the hype around it, i think . There was a backlash because of the hype around it, ithink . Because there was a backlash because of the hype around it, i think . Because of that but also it is a very classic piece of cinema. It is very ambitious but also very classic. The followers of moonlight came from a very different kind of sensibility. There was always a battle between the two audiences and think it is perfect that they both ended up in stage, ina perfect that they both ended up in stage, in a way. There was this handover between them. For me it was like the old school handing over to a voice. I thought that was really significant, symbolic and beautiful. Both these film makers are very good friends and they totally shared the journey. But it was this new voice in terms of the audience that came into the room last night and i loved that. La la land was the early favourite and continued to be the favourite. What happened . I saw it in august at its World Premiere at the Venice Film Festival and i fell in love with it. Myjaw dropped. Somebody is doing a musical, how exciting. Playing with the old tropes, a freshness with indie actors, and i loved it. Along the way a backlash started to happen and it is very easy to criticise la la land for being about why people wandering about in la Drinking Coffee and having dreams and having first world problems, to use a hashtag. But with no light, it is very difficult to take against it. It is so political and poetic and steering and about a brutal and tough situation. It was important for gay culture, black culture, voices that havent been heard before and the timing was just right for it. I wake up yesterday morning thinking that moonlight could do it andi thinking that moonlight could do it and i had already filmed in my own ballot and put la la land and i crossed it out in the last moment and put moonlight. I thought i was wrong but in the end i won as Well Soi Wrong but in the end i won as well so i was excited. What was second on your ballot . La la land. Lets talk about best supporting actor, it is Mahershala Ali as the drug dealer. The sort of drug dealer you never saw, showing such tenderliness and fatherliness. How well deserved is his award . This has become a break out role for an actor who has along history of doing stellar pieces of work and well talk about the oscars so white thing. None of these awards have come quickly or easily for a lot of this talent. For lots of audiences it might be the first time they have seen it might be the first time they have seen Mahershala Ali. They may have seen seen Mahershala Ali. They may have seen him in The Hunger Games or house of cards. This is an actor who is at the top of his game being recognised. He was in another best picture nominee Hidden Figures. Thats right. He is someone who the whole industry is becoming more aware of and audiences and he is an incredibly graceful actor. He is a black muslim and he lends a really important voice at a time like now which is someone, people listen to Mahershala Ali because he is articulate. Hes wise and i think we need that voice in the world. In his a cce pta nce need that voice in the world. In his acceptance speech, he was pretty low key. Acceptance speech, he was pretty low key. He did say wow and then he went on to thank his teachers through Acting School who had talked to him about, its not about you, its always about the characters. Thats right. Thats right. There werent that many speeches about donald trump in the end. People kept it more personal. Lets talk about viola davis then. Best supporting actress. The third time of asking, but now she is the first black actress to have a tomby and emmy and an oscar . Now she is the Supporting Actorfor fences. It an oscar . Now she is the supporting actor for fences. It is a great performance one opposite of denzel washington. Different for the camera. People have found the acting in fences to be a little big compared to the dial down intimacy of moonlight. I love listening to August Wilsons words. I loved her performance in it as this very strong woman who comes Out Of The Shadow of this very domineering man. No one else cries like her and gets the snot running down her nose they dont teach that at rada. What she has done is seized this opportunity because, i mean, in many senses she is the kind of legal role in this film. Well, she sort of ends up overshadowing him. Yes. She would have had a good chance of winning in the main category as well. There is Something Interesting when you look at the kind of racial categorizations that people get into. The supporting actors you often find are quite diverse, but often find are quite diverse, but often the lead actors, it is like a slightly gated community. I kind of feel the same. I think Hidden Figures should have been on the best lead actress role, but im interested in the supporting and the lead actors. There were three actresses of colour in that with naomi harris as well and in the main competition, it was natalie portman. I think viola davis is one of the great actresses now, i think, you know, she is almost like a meryl streep figure from now on, if shes inafilm, streep figure from now on, if shes in a film, you know, she is nailed on for a nomination. In a film, you know, she is nailed on fora nomination. She in a film, you know, she is nailed on for a nomination. She is so good and her speech was so passionate as well, both of those, Mahershala Ali and viola davis acceptance speeches we re and viola davis acceptance speeches were personal. They seethed with frustration and achievement and by the delivery of their performances you could sense the anger. There was more anger in the dignity. People will ask if those two awards for example are a reaction, a response to last yea rs example are a reaction, a response to last years oscars so white controversy, but actually both these films were in production before that, werent they . Thats the whole myth with that whole thing. Suddenly everything has got woke and now they are ticking the right box. We know v
