#28: Famous Oscar Mix-Up

In 2017, Beatty, and his Bonnie and Clyde co-star Faye Dunaway were tasked with announcing the Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards. However, due to an envelope mix-up, they mistakenly declared La La Land the winner instead of Moonlight, the victor.

The moment quickly became one of the most infamous blunders in Oscar history. Realizing something was wrong, Beatty hesitated before Dunaway read the incorrect name. The situation was later clarified on stage but became an enduring pop culture moment.
