Dust the popcorn off your couch, fire up your Twitter engines, and get ready to throw some likes at the best live tweets from last night’s 89th Academy Awards ceremony – because Hollywood’s biggest night came packed with incredible outfits, instantly GIF-able moments, and a bizarre envelope-switcharoo that threw the audience and the Twitter-verse for a loop. Yes, I’m talking about the moment when the cast and crew of La La Land realized mid-acceptance speech that there had been a horrible mistake of Steve Harvey-proportions, and Moonlight had in fact won the award for Best Picture. I could describe the scenario further, but I’ll let the best corners of the internet do that for you instead below.
