Moonlight won the best picture prize at an Oscars ceremony that was overshadowed when rival film La La Land was mistakenly named as the winner.
Presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway initially announced that the romantic musical, the presumed favorite for best picture, had won.
As the casts of both films stood awkwardly on stage, Beatty explained he had been given the wrong envelope to open.
Accountants Price Waterhouse Cooper, who oversee the ballots, said the presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope.
"We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred," PwC said in a statement.
La La Land went into the Oscars with a leading 14 nominations and emerged with six, including for its director Damien Chazelle, 32, who became the youngest person to ever win a best director Oscar.
Arrival, Moonlight, Fences and Hacksaw Ridge scooped acting and technical awards, denying La La Land a record-setting haul of prizes.
Manchester by the Sea star Casey Affleck was named best actor.
African-American coming-of-age tale Moonlight’s win capped a big night for diversity in the film industry. Mahershala Ali became the first Muslim actor to win an Oscar, taking best supporting actor for Moonlight. Viola Davis won best supporting actress for Fences – it was the first time African Americans simultaneously won in both categories.
The Jungle Book, whose effects were largely created by MPC in London, won the vfx Oscar.
