ACMs Spoof Oscars Mishap By Awarding 'La La Land' (Video)
Nancy O’Dell and magician David Copperfield poked fun at the Best Picture mishap at the Oscars during the 2017 Academy Of Country Music Awards held at Toshiba Plaza on Sunday (April 2) in Las Vegas, Nev.
While presenting the first award of the night – Song of the Year – David opened the envelope and announced the winner as “Emma Stone, La La Land.”
At the Oscars in February, the back-up envelope for Best Actress was handed to presenter Warren Beatty when he went to announce the award for Best Picture and the wrong winner was announced.
The award for Song of the Year actually went to Thomas Rhett for “Die a Happy Man” and he poked fun at the joke in his acceptance speech.
Congratulations to @ThomasRhett on taking home Song of the Year at the #ACMs! 🌟 pic.twitter.com/wFegmhVCLS
