The award was given to Moonlight after presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway wrongfully announced that La La Land had won best picture. As the film's producers were making their acceptance speeches, producer Jordan Horowitz informed viewers that the category's winner was actually Moonlight, and showed the card announcing the winner to the camera.

"Take some inspiration from seeing this beautiful group of artists helmed by this amazing talent [Jenkins]."
