(SPOT.ph) Oscars 2017 (a.k.a. 89th Academy Awards) may have been held this morning (Philippine time) but it was Miss Universe that trended on social media. This comes after Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway wrongly declared La La Land as the winner for Best Picture and pulled a Steve Harvey.

After all the acceptance speeches were made for the movie-musical, La La Land Producer Jordan Horowitz interrupted the celebration and revealed that "There's a mistake" and held up the announcement card given to him. "Moonlight, you won best picture. This is not a joke," he continued and handed the trophy to "his friends at Moonlight."
Trust the Internet to make a really big deal out of this.

Steve Harvey, you're a trendsetter.
America you might want to go back and check. Did you announce the wrong president? You never know. #Oscar2017 #MissUniverse

Chicago Daily Tribune started it all in 1948 when they had the incorrect "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline.
Hey "La La Land" remember when you gave us that fake happy ending and then took it away
