Forget Ryan Gosling's prom-style ruffled tux, it was his trying not to laugh really hard at the La La Land and Moonlight Best Picture confusion that stole the show for us.

The La La Land producers had been in the middle of their acceptance speeches after Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway incorrectly announced Damien Chazelle's musical as the winner, before the embarrassing mistake was discovered and immediately rectified.

So while the team of La La Land were stunned beyond belief at what was unfolding, you had to hand it to an amused-looking Gosling, who stepped back from the chaos and covered his mouth to stop from guffawing. Because sometimes in life, if you can't laugh, you'd probably cry. Or in this case, cringe yourself silly.

Twitter obviously couldn't get enough of the actor seeing the funny side too...

Meanwhile, Emma Stone – who picked up Best Actress for La La Land – initially looked shocked and mouthed "Oh my god, oh my god" before turning around, possibly to look at her co-star Gosling.

But she later told reporters backstage that she "f*cking loved Moonlight", and that she was excited that it won.

"I f*cking loved Moonlight," she told Entertainment Weekly. "God, I love Moonlight so much! I'm so excited for Moonlight!

"And of course, it was an amazing thing to hear La La Land. I think we all would have loved to win Best Picture. But we are so excited for Moonlight. I think it's one of the best films of all time. So I was pretty beside myself."
