Every night at the Oscars has its moments, but the 89th Academy Awardsended with one for the books. La La Land, going into the evening with 14 nominations, had been picking up golden statuettes at a steady clip when it came time for Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway to announce Best Picture. With the envelope opened, Beatty found himself looking at a card that read, “Emma Stone, La La Land.” He paused, a bit confused, showed the card to Dunaway, who read out, “La La Land.”
The producers, led by Jordan Horowitz, and the cast took to the stage, began their speeches… More confusion for a moment. Then, Horowitz:
The Guardian‘s Rory Carroll and Andrew Pulver: “Speaking backstage minutes later, Moonlight’s director Barry Jenkins said the error had left him speechless. ‘I’d never seen that happen before. It made a special feeling more special but not in the way I expected. The last 20 minutes of my life have been insane… beyond life changing…. Things just happen. The folks from La La Land were so gracious. I can’t imagine being in their position.”
Deadline‘s Mike Fleming Jr. passes along a statement from accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers:
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.
Overall, the evening was, as expected, peppered with political commentary. Carroll and Pulver: “The Iranian director Asghar Farhadi, who boycotted the event in protest at Trump’s travel bans, won best foreign language film forThe Salesman in what was widely seen as a rebuke to the White House. In a statement, he called the ban ‘inhumane,’ earning prolonged applause. Hours earlier, in a videolink from Tehran, he urged 10,000 people gathered for a screening of his film in London’s Trafalgar Square to ‘stand up to fascism, be victorious in the face of extremism.”
