Pair responsible for epic Oscars stuff-up won’t return

‘It doesn’t sound very complicated, but you have to make sure you’re giving the presenter the right envelope, ‘ Ruiz told Medium earlier this year.

“We check things dozens of times, recounts and double-checks”, he said.

He added, “Again, it’s so unlikely”.

What’s remarkable is that this is pretty much what happened!

The screw-up marked the most embarrassing mistake in Oscars history, with the musical “La La Land” briefly declared the victor for best picture before organizers realized the flub.

PricewaterhouseCoopers took the blame after the gala evening ended in chaos and said Cullinan was mortified by his mistake. He got the wrong envelope!’ And then it was slow motion. Never in their wildest dreams did they think it would happen this way or that it would result in pandemonium. And now that mistake may cost PWC big time. Price Waterhouse Cooper chairman Tim Ryan told Variety how Brian Cullinan feels about the mishap. “We made a mistake”. Cullinan gave Beatty the wrong envelope.

Walker said he didn’t realize what he’d photographed until Tuesday night when he was speaking with a colleague. Also, apparently he had to cancel on Anderson Cooper under orders from the Academy, so that’s awkward.

The consulting firm PwC tabulates the winners based on ballots cast by the academy’s 6,687 voting members.

According to a report from People, Cullinan was not supposed to be tweeting- he was even instructed, specifically, not to do it.

When one searches Google for the name “Brian Cullinan”, the search engine giant suggests “Brian Cullinan fired” as the next popular search term regarding Brian’s name.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accountancy firm responsible for all voting and envelopes at the Academy Awards, took full responsibility for the Best Picture mix up and cited human error.

But fans have noticed the PriceWaterhouseCooper (Pwc) accountant is a dead ringer for Damon, and have conjured up conspiracy theories due to the Good Will Hunting star’s long-running “feud” with Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel.

In a fresh statement the Academy said it “regrets the mistake” and recognises that the experiences of those from both films were “profoundly altered by this error”.
