Erm….That’s all? Just an apology?
PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), responsible for auditing Oscar ballots, has apologised for an ‘error’ in the announcement of the Best Picture award on Sunday, admitting Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were handed the wrong envelope.
Before the ‘error’ was corrected at the event yesterday, everyone imaginable involved with the film was already stage while La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz had given an entire acceptance speech.
‘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,’ the company said in a statement.
‘The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and, when discovered, was immediately corrected,’ it added. ‘We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred,’ it said, hailing the ‘grace’ with which all concerned handled the situation.
