The La La Land - Moonlight mix-up for Best Picture is the first in the 88-year history of the Oscars.

But it wasn't the only goof-up this year.


Australian film producer Jan Chapman's photograph was mistakenly used in the Oscars' In Memoriam montage, which celebrates film industry luminaries who have died in the past year.

Chapmans photo was used to accompany the name and dates of Janet Patterson, a four-time Oscar nominee for costume design, who died in October 2016.

Chapman told Variety magazine, "I was devastated by the use of my image in place of my great friend and long-time collaborator Janet Patterson. I had urged her agency to check any photograph which might be used and understand that they were told that the Academy had it covered. Janet was a great beauty and four-time Oscar nominee and it is very disappointing that the error was not picked up. I am alive and well and an active producer."

Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds, Gene Wilder and Prince were among those mourned in the montage. Bill Paxtons death, which was announced on Sunday, came too late for this years sequence, but Jennifer Aniston did mention him in her introduction.
