Oscars Mistake 2017: The Accountants Responsible for the Best-Picture Blunder at the Academy Awards Banned From Oscars.

La La Land producer Fred Berger speaks at the microphone as production staff and representatives from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Martha L. Ruiz and Brian Cullinan, consult behind him regarding a presentation error of the Best Picture award.



THE president of the film academy says the two accountants responsible for the best-picture blunder at the Academy Awards will never return to the Oscars.

Cheryl Boone Isaacs has told The Associated Press that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ relationship with PwC, the accounting firm responsible for the integrity of the awards,
remains under review.

Boone Isaacs broke her silence following the biggest blunder in the 89-year history of the Academy Awards.

PwC accountants Brian Cullinan and Martha Ruiz were responsible for the winners’ envelopes at Monday’s Oscar show.

Cullinan tweeted a photo of Emma Stone from backstage minutes before handing presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway the wrong envelope for best picture.

Boone Isaacs said Cullinan’s distraction caused the error.

According to People magazine, Cullinan defied orders not to tweet during the ceremony.

“Brian was asked not to tweet or use social media during the show,’’ a source said told People.

“He was fine to tweet before he arrived at the red carpet, but once he was under the auspices of the Oscar-night job, that was to be his only focus.’’
