These days it almost feels like you don't even have to watch award ceremonies, you know the most important moments will be hilariously crystallized for within moments. However, the 89th Academy Awards became somewhat historic when it an amazing twist, La La Land was mistakenly named Best Picture at the 2017 Oscars, the true honor going to Moonlight. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime fails that you really wanted to catch live (and celebrate live) for once. However, if you missed #Envelopegate, you have about a gazillion places to replay the moment and the birth of a Twitter meme, in which the Oscars envelope meme crowned hilarious Best Picture winners.

And the Oscar for best picture goes to... oh, pretty much anything you want, to be honest. Twitter has decided to really roll with the envelope, and there are no rules now, as long as Photoshop (or MS Paint) gets involved. We rounded up some of the best envelope reveal memes for your consideration, because here's to the fools who dream, right La La Land?

Really, the Internet became the real winner from this mix-up. But in all sincerity, major congratulations to Moonlight, although some of these other twists would've been highly amusing.
