London Theatre Pulls off a Spoof of Oscar Mix-Up and How
The staff at Rio Cinemas in London pulled off an epic spoof of the Oscar goof-up by playing 20 seconds of La La Land at the start of Moonlight. The audience of the sold-out show got the joke and the entire room applauded.
They played a snippet from the teaser of La La Land and pretended to have a little fumble to make it look as honest as possible. But hey the audience knows it all, right?
Props to @riocinema in #Dalston for playing the first 20 seconds of La La Land immediately before last night's screening of Moonlight pic.twitter.com/2ZLllrnPFq

While the theatre played it well, these Twitter users also had some hilarious takes on the mess-up.
