The wrong winners announced, Nicole Kidman's clapping and those lucky tourists - the Oscars had its fair share of "moments" on social media this year.

Let's start with who to bring

It feels as though everyone took their mum to the Oscars this year, including Dev Patel.

Sorry Billy, Dev's mum is already taken., external

But not Jackie Chan, who brought cuddly bears to the party.

He brought pandas in silver UGG boots., external

While we're on the topic of some of the strange things we saw at the Oscars, check out Nicole Kidman's clapping.

Perhaps she was waiting for her nail polish to dry., external

Next you need to think about what to wear

What to wear? Well my mother always said dress for the award you want, not the one you've got...

No - wait - that was dress for the JOB you want... oops.

Emma Stone, Jessica Biel and Dakota Johnson dress in gold., external

Well if it works for Emma Stone?

And if you're not dressed for the occasion, just get in there anyway.

Jimmy Kimmel brought in a group of people on a tour of Hollywood., external

Tourist Gary became somewhat of a celebrity on social media.

Aaron tweeted "we all wish we were Gary tbh", external

Look at Ryan Gosling whispering "just wait until the ending..."

He knew... he knew..., external

Then it all goes wrong

Emma Stone won best actress for La La Land... and somehow she managed to win best picture too.

Warren Beatty looking at the card trying to figure out how Emma Stone could win best picture was likened to A Beautiful Mind., external

You'd think they'd look at the envelope...

"Don't blame #WarrenBeatty" the envelope said the wrong thing., external

We bet you think this awards ceremony is about you., external

This is the moment they realised the mistake.

Stop! This is not a joke., external

And Twitter did what Twitter does best and immediately ridiculed them.

One tweeter compared it to the US election., external

Photoshop wizards got to work on a "saving the Oscar" picture., external

When La La Land asked for more diversity at the Oscars, boom... Moonlight win instead. Talk about getting on with it., external

Matthew tweeted "this was literally me when they announced La La Land and then Moonlight really won", external

And some people compared the gaff to Miss Universe, external

But they got in touch offering friendly advice for PwC, the accountancy firm which counts the Oscars votes...

They tweeted "Have your people call our people - we know what to do.", external

Neil Patrick Harris was confused.

"What the what what?? What just happened?!? How did Emma Stone's name get in a second envelope? Weirdest. Ending. Ever.", external

Actually, we can explain that Neil, it's all to do with there being duplicate copies of each envelope, one for each side of the stage.

And it all makes sense now...

M Night Shyamalan took credit for the ending., external

Someone let Chrissy Teigen know what happened.

She fell asleep during Casey Affleck’s acceptance speech., external
