Moonlight director Barry Jenkins had a triumphant,heart-pounding, insane night at the Oscars. Jenkins gave an emotional acceptance speech after winning best adapted screenplay alongside Tarell Alvin McCraney. Then, or after La La Land was mistakenly announced as best picture,he took the stage again to accept the award as the rightful winner. Backstage in the press room, Jenkins talked approximately the moment he realised the film had won after all. "I noticed a commotion was happening, and I felt something strange had occurred," he said. "I'm sure everyone saw my face. I've never seen that happen before. . . . It made a very special moment even more special."One journalist asked if anyone had told him what happened. "No explanation," he said. "Things just happen, and you know? I will say I saw two cards." This lines up with what Emma Stone said while talking approximately the whole situation: "I was holding my best actress card the whole time. . . . I'm not sure what happened." Jenkins,of course, also made sure to mention how humble the cast and crew of La La Land were when it turned out they had lost after all. "The folks of La La Land were so gracious. I can't imagine being in a position to maintain to conclude that." Neither could we.
