These Envelopegate Memes & Tweets Are On Point

It was the Oscars moment that would live in infamy, whether it actually should or not. The Oscars moment henceforth to be referred to as Envelopegate, in which La La Land was mistakenly named the Best Picture winner at the 2017 Oscars, despite the fact that Moonlight had actually won the coveted trophy. The mistake was due to a mix-up in the envelopes for Best Actress (Emma Stone of La La Land) and Best Picture, but no one really cares how it happened anymore. No, these Envelopegate memes and tweets are focused on the fact that it happened, and that we can never let anyone forget that it happened.

I mean, are you really surprised? This is the internet, and the quicker they can come up with a catchy name for something that they are going to add to the annals of meme fame, the better. And thus Envelopegate has been embraced, and thus the memes and tweets have bloomed like flowers in the spring, and thus I have gathered some of the highlights for you so you can laugh through your Monday morning tears. (The tears are because you stayed up late to watch the Oscars run overtime, of course. Or maybe they're because Moonlight's moment was stolen by this whole mess. Or hey, maybe both. I don't know your life.)

Enjoy these memes and tweets, because Envelopegate is going to be the talk of the town for at least a week.
