It didn’t take long for the sports world to weigh in on the Oscars best picture award mix-up that occurred late Sunday night. In case you missed it, “La La Land” initially was presented with the coveted award, only for the picture’s cast and crew to learn that fellow nominee “Moonlight” was the actual winner.
