In a clip from the evening’s event, the announcer excitedly introduces the [_La La Land_ actor](http://time.com/4683500/oscars-2017-wrong-best-picture-announced/ "undefined"). “Here is the one and only Ryan Gosling,” he says as the audience prepared to welcome the star. But instead, out walks a clearly lackluster impersonator of the charismatic actor. In a thick German accent, he thanks “Joko and Klaas” before saying “bye-bye” and walking away with the prize in hand, leaving a baffled audience and the announcer to clear up the confusion. Audience members Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell, and Jane Fonda—who of course are used to rubbing shoulders with the real Gosling—appeared to be stunned by the joke. (Farrell and Kidman both took home awards for best international actor and actress, respectively.)
