On the heels of a second apology from PwC over the confusion at Sunday night’s Oscar ceremony, the Academy has added its own apology for the chaos that ensued when presenter Warren Beatty was given the wrong envelope before he presented Best Picture.
AMPAS apologized to the filmmakers and presenters involved, and to fans and TV viewers, and said it “determine what actions are appropriate going forward.”
PwC has taken full responsibility for the error, in which its balloting leader Brian Cullinan mistakenly handed Beatty an envelope for the Best Actress category instead of Best Picture. Cullinan had tweeted a photo of Emma Stone from backstage moments before he made the mistake.
