Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced the last award of the night as "La La Land." Warren Beatty eventually emerged back on stage and clarified the horrible misstep, much to the La La Land cast's confusion, that "Moonlight" was the true winner.

Some say it was because of her apparent feud with Kim Kardashian West and Kanye who posted Snapchat videos that seemed to show Taylor approving of a seemingly salacious line referring to her in one of Kanye’s songs. The drama ensued because before Kim posted the Snapchat video, Taylor made a speech as she accepted an award suggesting that hadn’t approved of the line at all. After months of keeping out of the spotlight, however, Swift then started sending what fans believed were cryptic messages. One of those “signs�� was more obvious, though. She completely deleted all of her previous social media posts only to replace them with three back-to-back videos of a snake. Not long after it was revealed that Taylor Swift would be releasing a new album and, soon, a single called “Look what you made me do.”Late night hosts get political This year several late-night hosts substituted their routine monologues to take a moment and speak out about current politics.
