An event which took everyone by shock today was the wrong announcement of the ‘Best Picture’ award at the Oscars 2017. This category at the Oscars, was first announced to be won by ‘La La Land’ and then later the team of ‘Moonlight’ was called upon as the winners.


The reason behind this mix up has been revealed to be caused by Price Waterhouse Coopers,  the accounting firm who tally the Oscar ballots. Apparently, the wrong envelope was handed over to Warren and Faye who were presenting the award.


Following the change in the announcement, Price Waterhouse Coopers said, “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.”


They also added, "We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation.”
