La La Land, Oscar for best film for a few minutes
In the recent history of the Oscars, there are two events that have particularly affected the public: Will Smith’s slap to Chris Rock during the 2022 ceremony, and the envelope fiasco during the 2017 Oscars.
We remind you that the ceremony went off without a hitch until the most awaited moment of the evening, the announcement of the Best Film. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were on stage to present this award. The first opened the envelope, but looked confused at the note inside. After hesitating, he showed the card to the second, who quickly announced it The The Earth of Damien Chazelle as the big winner.
While the producers and cast of The The Earth celebrating on stage and starting the acceptance speech, members of the Oscar production team and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the accounting firm responsible for managing the Oscars results realized that a mistake had been made. Actually it was Moonlight by Barry Jenkins which won the award for best film, no The The Earth.
Jordan Horowitz, one of the producers of The The Earthtook the initiative to clarify the situation by announcing on the microphone that Moonlight he was the real winner and showed the envelope to the camera telling the teams to do it Moonlight go on stage to collect their statuettes.
The reasons for the error
The error was attributed to a mix-up with the envelopes. PwC, in fact, prepares two complete sets of envelopes for each category as a security measure, which are kept on each side of the stage. Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway mistakenly received the reserve envelope for the Best Actress category, which had already been awarded to Emma Stone for The The Earth, hence the confusion when Beatty saw the name Emma Stone and The The Earth on the map. Faye Dunaway simply read The The Earthand therefore believed that the film had won the supreme statuette.
The incident immediately made headlines around the world. PricewaterhouseCoopers released a statement apologizing for the error and explaining what happened. The two PwC officials involved in the error have been removed from their roles at the Oscars, and the Academy has taken steps to prevent a similar error from happening again in the future.
