In the immediate wake of the painful moment at the Oscars when La La Land was mistakenly announced as Best Picture instead of Moonlight, viewers scrambled to find the cause of the mistake.
Many looked at Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, who announced the award, until it was revealed Beatty
had been holding the envelope for Emma Stone's Best Actress award for La La Land.
Some speculated it was a stagehand who had mistakenly handed Beatty the wrong envelope. But others began to look towards another culprit who may have an ulterior motive: Leonardo DiCaprio.
Di Caprio, who won Best Actor for The Revenant in 2016, had presented Emma Stone with Best Actress moments earlier, before leaving the stage with the red envelope containing her award.
Fans were quick to theorise that DiCaprio handed Beatty the wrong envelope in an attempt to sabotage the Oscars as revenge for the two decades he waited to win his own.
