The other thread from the 1st reply was exclusively discussing this issue , so it did have a thread of it's own imo
Though you could argue it required a thread with the blunder in the title i guess |

I can't stand Warren Beatty but i do think he was blameless.
It was this Cullinan guy who handed him the wrong envelope .The guy was spending the night tweeting photos of himself with stars and was not concentrating on his simple job. People say Beatty should have read the envelope with 'Best actress' on the front but you naturally just assume you have been given the correct one and don't look at that . When he opened it he realized straight away there was a fk up and he showed it to Dunaway just so she could see for herself they had the wrong one , but she thought he was inviting her to read out the movie |

Yes, he will be kicking himself that he didn't do things differently and just said that he had been given the wrong envelope and asked for the correct one.

"The guy was spending the night tweeting photos of himself with stars and was not concentrating on his simple job."
After the wrong Best Picture winner was announced, he deleted all the tweets from his Twitter account. Maybe he should have worried less about taking sneaky pics of celebs and selfies and focused more on the job in hand. But seems he was too busy goofing around. And now Front page news worldwide ! He ruined the moment for the winners and now everyone will remember La La Land more than Moonlight. You had one job Brian. One job! Just hand Warren the envelope marked 'Best Picture'  ooooooops !!! |

"When the most anticipated award for Best Picture was announced to close the Academy Awards ceremony, Trump got the last laugh, once again.
In the same way that the media trashed Trump about his Sweden comment, only to have migrant violence strike Sweden the very next day, the Oscars fell victim to the “curse of The Don”, and looked thoroughly stupid and incompetent when they announced the wrong Best Picture winner. Kimmel spent the entire night insulting President Trump, which should come as no surprise, as Jimmy Kimmel is a Hillary Clinton faithful disciple." Trump 2 - Media 0 |

head of the oscars has stated both accountants will not be back....
lucky them! they should be given a bonus for having to spend a day with a room full of utter absolute and total self serving w*nkers When you think of the real problems in the world, the talk of 2 people losing their lively hoods over basic human error is disgusting. |

By:
actually when I think of it both accountants look right w*nkers too....hope he gets sacked
|
|
By:
They have both been sacked. He tried to hand in his notice before that to try and save face. Unfortunately he left a cheque for his gas bill on the bosses desk.
