This year's Oscar 2017 finale saw some hilarious moments, with the presenters annoucing La La Land as the best picture first before handing back the coveted trophy back to Moonlight.
The social media also celebrated the occasion with trolls and memes.
One interesting troll came from the Mumbai Police. It tweeted: "Moonlight or Sunshine, We Ensure Mumbai Is Always A Safe La La Land."

Mumbai Police have tweeted public service messages on issues such as cyber stalking, traffic safety and an anti-drugs campaign, but with a dose of humour.
Earlier, last week poking fun at the police arrangements during Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls, columnist Shobhaa De had had tweeted "Heavy police bandobast in Mumbai today," with an image in which she incorrectly identified Jogewat as a personnel of Mumbai Police.
As De's tweet went viral, she was trolled by netizens. Hitting back at her, the Mumbai Police had tweeted, "We love puns too Ms De but this one is totally misplaced.Uniform /official not ours. We expect better from responsible citizens like you."
While reacting to this tweet, Daulatram had expressed displeasure saying his obesity was a result of hormonal disorder.
Following the controversy, several hospitals had offered free treatment to the inspector.
However, in an attempt to make peace, De had posted a fresh tweet: "Mumbai/ Maharashtra Police Pranaam. No offence intended. MP Police, Consult a dietician, if it's an asli, undoctored image doing the round."
