The following is a statement issued by PriceWatershouseCoopers on the error made during the announcement of Best Picture at the Oscars on February 26th.
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 presenters had mistakenly been
given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately
corrected. We are currently investigating how this could have happened,
and deeply regret that this occurred.
We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation.
