People claim that DiCaprio has sabotaged the Oscars. Here’s their proof.
No matter how many times we watch it, the footage of La La Land mistakenly being announced as Best Picture winner doesn’t get any less cringe-inducing. Moonlight was a worthy winner indeed, but the bizarre incident that had everyone put on their what just happened’ faces all round will be etched into Oscars history.

But who was to blame? Aging actor Warren Beatty has unfairly taken most of the heat – even though he immediately sensed that something was wrong when he opened the envelope. Faye Dunaway? She immediately read the title of the film in the card cos she was a little bit annoyed at Warren’s stalling, A stagehand or production assistant? The person responsible for monitoring the envelopes is the most likely candidate, but that hasn’t stopped movie fans from taking their wild guests and declaring a conspiracy theory on the unfortunate incident.
One unlikely suspect the people are blaming is actor Leonardo DiCaprio. See, just moments before he presented Emma Stone with the award for Best Actress, he left the stage with the red envelope for that award on the night. Moments later, chaos ensued and now people reckon he had something to with it.
Ok if u wanna be technical this was Leonardo DiCaprio's fault since he had Emma's card he wasn't gonna let this Oscars end without a Scene
