An envelope-based mix-up resulted in La La Land being wrongly announced as winner for Best Picture - instead of the real winner, Moonlight.

Rightfully so, the internet completely lost its sh*t and the memes have been flowing ever since.

But the most important part was when La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz held up the card with the real winner on it.

Thank you, Barry. Congratulations and much love. https://t.co/BSwk9T6Si4
