The brought back the most cringeworthy memory of last year's awards, when Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty accidentally awarding the Best Picture award to La La Land instead of the rightful winner, Moonlight.
Cue the most awkward moment of the 21st Century in which La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz had to drop the bombshell to the world, live, , "We lost, by the way."
Tim Ryan, U.S. chairman and senior partner of PricewaterhouseCoopers has explained how they were working to ensure it never happened again.
Speaking to PA, he said there will be, " Just like the balloting partners stationed on either side of the Dolby Theatre stage, this person will have a complete set of winners맥스카지노 envelopes and commit the winners to memory. Think of it as a safety control.맥스카지노
He added, "The two partners who worked on last year맥스카지노s Academy Awards have been replaced, though Ryan confirms that both still work for PwC."
"A new formal procedure is in place for when envelopes are handed over. Both the celebrity presenter and a stage manager will confirm that they맥스카지노ve been given the correct envelope for the category they are about to present. Last year맥스카지노s gaffe occurred when the PwC representative accidentally gave presenters the envelope for best actress rather than best picture."
"All three balloting partners will attend show rehearsals and practice what to do if something goes wrong. 맥스카지노Because, as you맥스카지노re well aware, it took a long time to respond last year when there was a mistake that we made,맥스카지노 Ryan said. 맥스카지노So we맥스카지노re formally practicing the what-ifs.맥스카지노
Disappointing for those of us who secretly revel in things going wrong, but a relief for anyone presenting awards.
