And I chose the "time extension" option when I recorded it.

The actual winner (Moonlight) or the eff up announcing it...
I was watching tangentially, just because nothing much else was on. Out of the corner of my eye I caught Beatty and Dunnaway come on stage. I remember not really recognizing her... was it age or surgery or both?
Then I lost interest until the commotion on stage where multiple people were announcing that Lalaland had not won, and that Moonlight had won. It slowly dawned on me that this was some fuck up. But in the scheme of things, a very minor one.
