"La La Land", which won six trophies including best director and actress, was incorrectly declared the best picture winner by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway at the Oscars ceremony.
However, during the their victory speech, the musical's one of the producers, Jordan Horowitz, realised the mistake and announced that the award actually belonged to "Moonlight".
Minutes after the correct announcement, Twitter was flooded with hilarious posts which suggested that Shyamalan had a hand in directing the last leg of the ceremony which was "weird".
Some of the posts by Twitter users read, "The ending of the #Oscars Directed by M Night Shyamalan."
"Tonight's #Oscars produced & directed by M. Night Shyamalan. #Oscars2017 #LALALAND #moonlight."
"It's weird how this #Oscars was directed by M Night Shyamalan. I never saw that coming.
