Biggest fail at The Oscars

**TheNightShift** · 27-02-17, 06:59

What happened at The Oscars last night was the biggest fail ever in an award event. They gave the wrong envelope for Best Motion Picture, when the non-winners were celebrating on the stage like they were the winners, someone realize that the real envelope was another one... and the real winner was Moonlight instead of La La Land... EPIC!!!

The presenters had in their hands the envelope for Best leading actress, Emma Stone, but she also had hers at that moment, so they printed two or who Knows, but seems that a lot of people is gonna be fired after this.

Bit of a tradition at events like this now that someone gets it wrong.

Rather spoils the event with someone already making an acceptance speech.

I suspect Warren Beatty won't be called for any jobs in the near future ...

Streaking onto stage used to be a bit of a 'thing' in the past

Don't think it was really his fault. He did do a "double take" at the envelope and was suspicious.
The real problem is that only two people (from an accountacy firm) know the results because of security. There there two envelopes for each result, one is a duplicate (as a backup) in case the original one is lost. Warren Beatty was handed a duplicate envelope and that is how the mistake was made.

shouldn't the winners name be the same in both envelopes ?

It could be that he was supposed to be announcing Best Pic and by accident someone handed him the Best Actress envelope .. x
