PWC’s Brian Cullinan to blame for Oscars Best Picture mistake

“I wasn’t trying to be amusing”, Beatty clarified, laughing nervously.

Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty mistakenly announce La La Land as the best picture victor when it should have gone to Moonlight.

There was no immediate explanation why Beatty was handed the wrong envelope. We are now investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred. Host Jimmy Kimmel confirmed that “Moonlight” had indeed won, showing the inside of the envelope as proof. “I need him to know.’ And he showed it to me, and I felt better about what had happened”. “La La Land” producer Jordan Horwitz graciously passed his statue to the “Moonlight” producers and cast. Beatty noticeably paused when he opened the envelope to announce which film won Best Picture, ultimately passing it over to Dunaway, who announced, “La La Land!”.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the film lost out on numerous awards it was nominated for but did win best adapted screenplay. “This is not a joke”, clarified Horowitz, while holding up the card that proved it. “That has not happened yet but, I am in the process of doing that”.

After the #OscarsSoWhite hashtag caught on in 2016 – the second straight year when no ethnic minority actors were nominated – Barry Jenkins’s coming-of-age tale “Moonlight” struck a chord as a moving look at contemporary African-American life. “I promise I’ll never come back”. It’s not because the highest-grossing movies don’t get nominations; it’s because the Oscars ceremony brings the world’s brightest stars together and doesn’t let them do a damn thing.

The show, already running over time, spent precious minutes on La La Land’s soon-to-be retracted speeches, rather than allowing Jenkins and Romanski the opportunity to bask in their win. PwC’s work on the next year’s Oscars typically begins in March. The biggest Oscar victor for the film: Stone for best actress. Kimmel didn’t stray entirely from politics.

The accountants responsible issued an apology for the biggest mistake in the 89-year history of the Oscars. The night “No Country for Old Men” took top honors in 2008 coincided with the aforementioned record low turnout of 32 million viewers, and other passion projects like the silent movie “The Artist” (39.4 million viewers in 2012) and last year’s “Spotlight” (34.5 million) also failed to crack the 40 million mark.

Taraji P. HensonThe Best Actress nominee for “Hidden Figures” is a vamp of epic proportions in this Alberta Ferretti number. Meryl Streep has phoned it in for more than 50 films over the course of her lacklustre career. “There was something very special missing, and then to end that way sad”, Trump said. Three of the film’s producers spoke before the actual victor, the coming-of-age drama “Moonlight”, was announced. The couple welcomed their daughter four days ago. In tears, the actress praised co-star Denzel Washington and her parents.

Jennifer Aniston, who introduced the segment, gave the actor an emotional tribute but Twitter users demanded to know why producers hadn’t found the time to get Paxton into the footage.

Considered to be one of the best films ever made, “To Kill a Mockingbird” won three Oscars including best picture and best actor (Gregory Peck).
