Why did they have the voice over script ready talking about how La La Land won 7 Oscars etc though? Did they write one for everything so they didn't leak the winner or smth?

I can't even imagine winning Best Picture, going up and making a heartfelt speech and then halfway through finding out you lost.

On the positive side, imagine thinking you lost Best Picture and then halfway through the winner's speech you find out you won!

I'm enjoying all the sites who've put up La La Land as their hot take winner and haven't yet managed to take it down yet.

Yes. There are only a few handfuls of people at PriceWaterhouseCoopers who know the actual winners. You think they're gonna write down the results for voiceover lady and risk someone snapping a picture before the show?

It is almost certainly some poor stagehand who is going to take the blame, regardless of whose fault it actually is.
