The viral and unintentional gaffe at last night’s Academy Awards rings a bell to many pageant fans and, especially, the Miss Universe body.

Miss Universe (Organization) and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach poked fun at the “Steve Harvey moment” of the Oscars 2017 awarding, where “Moonlight” was recognized as the winner for the Best Picture category but “La La Land” was announced as the winner instead.

Filmmaker Warren Beatty called up the crew of “La La Land” for winning the said category but corrected his live mishap when he noticed he opened the wrong envelope. On stage, “La La Land” executive producer Jordan Horowitz handled the issue with grace and bestowed the trophy to the real Best Picture winner, “Moonlight.”
