A cinema in London reacted to the biggest screw-up in Oscars history by ‘mistakenly’ showing La La Land in a screening of Moonlight.
The Rio has extended its run of Moonlight by a week following its Best Picture win.
Staff at the Rio in Dalston eyed an opportunity following the blunder which saw La La Land incorrectly named as Best Picture by Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty in place of actual winner Moonlight, and craftily played 20 seconds of Damien Chazelle’s musical in place of Barry Jenkins’ acclaimed drama.
The film, which features an Oscar-winning performance from Mahershala Ali, has soared up the UK box office following Sunday night’s ceremony.
