Oscar 2017 winners: Suicide Squad wins gold, the Best Picture award is mixed up, and more

Well, there you have it folks. Deadpool won Best Picture! Ha, just kidding! But would that have really been a surprise considering what kicked off at this year's Academy Awards? In perhaps one of the most shocking twists of any Oscars ceremony EVER, it was only when the La La Land producers go up on stage to receive their award for Best Picture when they realised that uhh, Moonlight actually won. 

And that's not all. More surprises included: Suicide Squad now having more Oscars than The Shawshank Redemption with a win for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Fantastic Beasts snagging the first Oscar for the entire Harry Potter universe for costume design.
