Moonlight star: 'I thought it was a prank'

‘Moonlight’ actress Naomie Harris has told 5 live Breakfast she thought the Oscars Best Picture mix up "was a prank".

‘La La Land’ was originally announced Best Picture, but after some confusion it was revealed ‘Moonlight’ actually won.

Harris told 5 live’s Colin Paterson: "I thought it was some kind of prank because it had been such a funny Oscars night, in terms of there had been so many wonderful practical jokes played."

Describing the feeling of being on stage after the error, she said:
"I had a kind of gormless expression. We didn't really have an opportunity to celebrate, it was unfortunate."
