After the incredible shock and delight of Moonlight actually winning Best Picture instead of the mis-announced La La Land, it may be difficult to believe that another magical, wild, beautiful moment was happening backstage. But it was. The magic moment was between newly minted Oscar winner Emma Stone and 2016 Best Actress winner Brie Larson.
