The in memoriam section is wrong, some of those listed on the BAFTA site such as Mary Tyler Moore and Alan Simpson never featured on the montage and would be highly unlikely to as they owe their success to TV. yorkshiresky (talk) 06:48, 13 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Moonlight won best film, not La La Land edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

If anyone remembers, there was a mix up at the Oscars, and La La Land was incorrectly announced as the winner of the Best Picture award before the mistake was corrected and Moonlight was given the award. It even correctly states on the Moonlight Wikipedia page that they won the Academy Award for best picture. It was big news at the time, this embarrassing blunder. Here is a source, if you don't remember.. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/feb/27/moonlight-wins-oscar-for-best-picture-two-minutes-after-la-la-land 2A00:23C7:90C:C701:9C60:AA76:46AE:6C3D (talk) 20:29, 13 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
