Twitter had a field day with the Oscars Best Picture mistake

Producer Jordan Horowitz had even launched into an acceptance speech before he was forced to say that the award had actually gone to director and writer Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight.

If there’s anyone who truly understands the emotions of winning an Academy Award for Best Actress, it’s probably the person who won it previous year. In addition to his monologue jokes, Corden staged a La La Land-inspired audition, in which he donned a red wig and told a story about love, loss, and awards-show upsets.

“It’s hugely embarrassing for PwC and it makes them look a bit ridiculous”, said Paul Hitchens, founder of Verve, which helps companies build and maintain brands. Cast and producers of the film went on stage to give thank you speeches. We want to make sure that no matter what happens, one of us gets there.

In the spirit of bringing people together, Kimmel said he wanted to “bury the hatchet” with Matt Damon, kind of. A presenter getting the wrong envelope and thus announcing the wrong victor? ‘Moonlight, ‘ you guys won best picture.

But rather than jumping in and saying, ‘Hang on a minute, I think I’ve got the wrong card!’, he grinned inanely, helplessly handed the card over to Faye Dunaway, let her announce the wrong victor and slunk away, hoping for the best. This is Oscar’s first incorrect announcement in its 89 years’ history and would be remembered for a long time.

Manchester by the Sea fared well too, with Casey Affleck taking home the Best Actor award and writer/director Kenneth Lonergan winning Best Original Screenplay.

Though several of late night’s Oscar jokes had some bit to them, none were tougher than Trevor Noah on The Daily Show.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, PwC typically create two complete sets of winners’ envelopes.

Beatty returned onstage to apologize for the gaffe, which he blamed on being handed the wrong envelope. The nominee cards and envelopes were shipped to accounting and consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (now called PwC) where they were tabulated.

Erik Gordon, a business professor at the University of MI, said that while “it’s a mistake anybody can make, it’s not a mistake you pay your accountants to make”.

Ryan Gosling appeared to find the whole thing pretty funny-perhaps like many moviegoers who hoped Moonlight would win in the first place. Why the Academy had already done enough damage with their Best Foreign Film category. The newspaper said people could be heard shouting “Best show ever!” at the end of the night. We are now investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred.
