"We sincerely apologize to Moonlight, La La Land, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture.
This is what it was supposed to look like:Īnd this is what Beatty had in his hands to present:Īccounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, which has the job (for now) of tabulating nominations and votes for the Oscars, took ownership of the mistake and apologized: It was more of a half-Steve Harvey than a full Harvey.ĭunaway and Beatty presented the final award of the very long 89th Academy Awards, and mistakenly gave Best Picture to "La La Land" before it was revealed that "Moonlight" was the correct winner.Īs some fans suspected, especially after Beatty tried to explain he saw "Emma Stone, 'La La Land'" in his envelope instead of the name of the Best Picture, they had been giving the wrong envelope backstage, the one for Best Actress in a Leading Role. As it turns out, they had only a small role in creating the biggest gaffe in Oscars history. D'oh! Be gentle with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
