At the 89th Academy Awards ceremony , Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway mistakenly announced '' La La Land '' as the recipient of the Best Picture award , instead of '' Moonlight '' , the actual winner . Beatty had been given the wrong envelope and after hesitating during the announcement , handed the envelope to Dunaway , which listed Emma Stone as Best Actress for '' La La Land '' and led to the confusion . The proper winner was announced after the acceptance speeches by '' La La Land '' producers Fred Berger , Jordan Horowitz and Marc Platt
