Tonight, the Academy Awards screwed up when they gave presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty the incorrect envelope during the Best Picture announcement. What ensued was a painfully awkward scene where the producers of La La Land learned that their movie had not won the Oscar while they were in the middle of giving their Oscar speeches.
The Internet of course had a field day and posted their best Steve Harvey memes.
