Organizers apologize for Oscar 2017 mix-up

Organizers apologize for Oscar 2017 mix-up – The world is still talking about the major highlight from last night’s Oscars where Actress/presenter Faye Dunaway announced “La La Land” as the best picture Oscar that should have gone to “Moonlight.” In what many pundits have described as an Oscar moment that will go down in history, organizers have now issued an apology for the mix-up.

PwC apologized to the casts of both films, as well as Beatty and Dunaway, for the “error.”

“The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected,” the firm said in a statement. “We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred.

PwC has in the past portrayed its involvement in the Oscars as a symbol of its integrity.

“PwC’s role in the Oscars balloting process represents the firm’s lasting legacy of utmost accuracy and confidentiality,” Ruiz said in a statement issued before the 2015 ceremony.

On Sunday, Cullinan’s twitter feed was filled with photos taken backstage at the event — including best supporting actress Viola Davis and best actress Emma Stone.

Later, after PwC issued its apology, all Oscar night tweets disappeared from Cullinan’s account.

“We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and [host] Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation,” PwC said in its statement.
