The Moonlight/La La Land Oscar Fiasco Was Too Much for Twitter to Handle

The 'Moonlight'/'La La Land' Oscar Fiasco Was Too Much for Twitter to Handle

The flub was an insult to the film's sheer brilliance, but it sure did make for some hilarious tweetstuffs.

As you likely know, Moonlight earned its place in cinematic history last night at the 89th Academy Awards as the first queer film to take home Best Picture. The story is—and will continue to be—a landmark for black, queer communities, and we can only hope its success will continue to afford opportunities to more storytellers to widen the narrative of LGBTQ life in mainstream cinema

We wish that could be the whole story, but it's just... not. Before the cast and crew of the film walked onstage to accept the award, the folks from La La Land were mopping up tears and running through the acceptance speeches they would later give the press, having mistakenly been announced the winner. 

As you can imagine, this was too much for Twitter to handle. I cackled all damn night over some of these tweets, and brought 'em all right here, just for you.

Now...GO WATCH MOONLIGHT AGAIN.
