Twitter Reacts to Unbelievable Oscars Mix-Up
Hello. It's Monday Feb. 27 and just a few moments ago, Moonlight was named Best Picture at the 89th Academy Awards after one of the most awkward and shocking TV moments in the history of award shows.

Half of the world is still coming to terms with what just transpired on live television but here we are: we now live in a reality where TV fuck-ups a la Steve Harvey Miss Universe 2015 can repeat itself. You're not dreaming. Nope. Not you. Not your dog. Not Oprah. Here, the Internet tries to make sense of the best Oscars ever (maybe).
