Moonlight has been awarded the best picture Oscar after La La Land was handed the top gong in error.
The awards ceremony was plunged into chaos after presenter Warren Beatty was given the wrong envelope and announced the musical as the winner.
Host Jimmy Kimmel came forward to inform the cast that Moonlight had indeed won, showing the envelope as proof.
"This is not a joke," Kimmel said.
Beatty then proceeded to excuse himself for the mixup, explaining he had been handed the wrong envelope.
"I want to tell you what happened I opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone, La La Land and that is why I took
such a long look at Faye and at you," he said.
Moonlight director Barry Jenkins eventualy took to the stage to accept the award.
"Very clearly even in my dreams this can't be true. But to hell with it because this is true. It's true, its not fake."
