Shabana Azmi, Karan Johar and Farah Khan among other Bollywood celebrities have expressed their shock over a bizarre mix-up during the best picture announcement at the 89th Academy Awards.
"La La Land", which won six trophies including the best director and actress, was incorrectly declared best picture winner by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway at the ceremony.
However, midway through their victory speech, one of the musical's producers, Jordan Horowitz, realised the error and announced that the award actually belonged to "Moonlight".
