In his fourth year of handling envelopes for the winners of the Academy
Awards, PricewaterhouseCoopers partner Brian Cullinan picked a bad time for
a miscue — pulling the envelope for what was supposed to be the Best
Picture winner from the wrong pile.

As a result, presenter Warren Beatty carried the wrong envelope to center
stage Sunday night, meaning that his on-stage partner, Faye Dunaway,
announced “La La Land” was the winner of the night’s top prize. “
Moonlight” was actually the Best Picture winner.
Tim Ryan, the accounting firm’s U.S. chairman and senior partner, offered
an explanation Monday of the unprecedented miscue, along with his profuse
apologies to the Motion Picture Academy and to the filmmakers behind the two
movies.
“We clearly made a mistake and once the mistake was made we corrected it
and owned up to it,” said Ryan, attributing the foul-up to “human error.”

Ryan said he had spoken to Cullinan about the episode at length. “He feels
very, very terrible and horrible. He is very upset about this mistake. And
it is also my mistake, our mistake, and we all feel very bad,” Ryan said.
Cullinan was positioned stage left during the evening. His colleague, Martha
Ruiz, stood in the wings, stage right. Each had a pile of envelopes for
presenters entering from their side of the stage and then a pile of “backup
” envelopes for the presenters entering from the other side of the stage at
the Dolby Theater.
Cullinan pulled the Best Actress envelope that was in the “backup” pile
and handed it to Warren Beatty. Beatty hesitated twice after opening the
envelope, apparently confused when he saw both the name of Best Actress
winner Emma Stone and “La La Land.” Not understanding Beatty’s hesitation
, Dunaway said: “You’re impossible. C’mon.” Beatty then showed her the
card and Dunaway announced: “La La Land.”
Ryan said that both Cullinan and Ruiz realized instantly that an error had
been made. They immediately told the “production team” about the error.
Ryan said he did not know why it took more than two minutes for the
correction to be made, with “La La Land” producer Jordan Horowitz
delivering the news to the world that “Moonlight” had made the error. |
