See priceless photos of the Oscars audience reacting to that best picture flub

Some celebrities didn't need to tweet about the biggest flub in Oscars history. It was written all over their faces.

When presenting the award for best picture, thanks to a mix-up with the cards, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced that La La Land had won, though Moonlight was the actual winner.

To compare, here's what the audience members looked like when they weren't witnessing a twist ending.

Nothing to see here.

And then once everyone realized Moonlight won the Oscar for best picture and not La La Land as announced.

Audible gasps.

Followed by unfathomable jubilation.

All of us.
Jharrel Jerome cannot believe it.

And general shock.

What is happening?
Jeff Bridges looks pleasantly surprised while the mouth of Beatty's sister, Shirley MacLaine, is agape.

Taraji P. Henson needed a minute.

Octavia Spencer shook her head in disbelief.

But our favorite reactions go to Moonlight director Barry Jenkins.

Onstage there was even more emotion.

A face-palm moment if there ever was one.

Especially from the film's stars, including Janelle Monáe.

Producer Jeremy Kleiner was in a glass cage of emotion.

'Moonlight' producer Jeremy Kleiner can hardly contain himself.

Ryan Gosling, always the gentleman, looked content.

Ryan Gosling, a gentleman amid chaos.

As did Emma Stone.

So much joy, even from those who didn't win.

Poor Warren Beatty was distraught.

Though the two casts showed nothing but love.

So many hugs.

Congratulations, Moonlight!
