Oscars Mistake

Worst Day At Work Ever For Accountants Charged With Handing Out Envelopes

... Oscars Red Carpet 2:39. Hey guys! I'm Heather Gardner with a very special edition of Just Sayin - we're talking Oscars fashion tonight! I gotta say, over all I'm pretty pleased with tonight's red carpet display, but you know I've got some gripes! Let's talk the good first! my my my, Emma stone came dressed to win. I feel like stars know when they’re going to win the big award because they always dress to impress and Emma just looked like that little golden statue. Of course she picked up the award for best actress in a leading role and looked incredible while doing so. Her dress and hair was reminiscent of 1940 s old Hollywood glam. I just loved it! Another look I loved was the super sultry, Taraji P. Henson. This woman has been killing it all through award season but her understated dress made the biggest statement tonight. She wore a skintight velvet off the shoulder gown that just showed off her body. And that necklace - OMG I died. And you know she played it up for the camera on the carpet. I wish I could say I felt the same about her Hidden Figures costar Janelle Monae. You know, I had some high hopes for this woman - she's always a fashion risk ...

The Epic Photo Capturing A-listers Shock At Major Oscars Blunder

... He was met by a gobsmacked expression from the Pearl Harbor star as he stared with his mouth wide open at the epic blunder playing out on stage. Last night, the Oscars was hit by the jaw-dropping blunder as acting legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced La La Land as the winner — and the film’s producer Jordan Horowitz even accepted the award as he was joined on stage by the cast and crew. But as La La Land’s creators gave their acceptance speeches, Oscars producers frantically took to the stage in the first sign something was amiss.

He then handed the award to Moonlight director Barry Jenkins. Pricewaterhouse Coopers, the firm responsible for the Academy voting, have now apologised for the epic mistake. The Oscars accountants owned up to the ...

Stars express shock as they hear that "La La Land" was incorrectly named best picture. (Al Seib / Los Angeles Times). After the shocking error was rectified on the stage of the Dolby Theatre, Pw C went from being a venerable partner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to a punchline. That was especially true on social media such as Twitter, where the firm repeatedly was lambasted with snide remarks about how it “had only one job” at the Oscars and blew it. Shen declined comment on whether Cullinan faced any disciplinary action or whether the firm’s contract with the academy might be affected by the mistake. In any case, Pw C’s reputation has taken a hit, at least for now, some analysts said. But Pw C’s long-term ...

Biggest Mistake In Oscars History After La La Land Wrongly Named Best Picture Winner

... as her words were, Telegraph film critic Tim Robey was less than impressed. "Viola's speech was *so* over-rehearsed," he says. "God love her, but it shouldn't require so much acting! ". Best Supporting Actress is up soon.here are our predictions. Will win: Viola Davis (Fences). The only slam-dunk win in the four acting fields is Davis, who has the narrowest odds of anyone since Colin Firth in The King’s Speech. It’s a make-up Oscar, in part – she lost in a nail-biter to Meryl Streep six years ago – and in part just straightforward recognition for the serious depths she plumbs in every dramatic role. Viola Davis in Fences. Should win: Viola Davis. We’ll certainly go with Davis, because her slow-burn indignation as Rose Maxson throughout Fences is tremendous, even if she really earned a shot at Best Actress honours – and would surely have won there, too. Everyone else in her field, despite great scenes here and there, is an also-ran, on this occasion. 2:31 AM. Hacksaw Ridge wins Best Sound Mixing - ...

The Other Oscar Mistake That Should Be Corrected

... 2013. According to the Academy, Boone Isaacs currently heads CBI Enterprises Inc., where she has consulted on marketing the films “The Artist” (2011) and “The King’s Speech” (2010).

... firms are in the background.".

"You pay your accounting firm a fortune to review your internal control procedures and sign off that you have them," Gordon said. Pw C is likely to suffer some immediate reputational tarnish over the mistake "because a lot of people will remember it and connect it with them," said Stephen Hahn-Griffiths , managing director of the Reputation Institute , which helps global companies and other clients measure, manage and corporate reputation performance.

How The Oscar Flub Stacks Up Against Past Mixups

... was a mixup like Sunday night's Oscar fiasco, there were few feature-length colour films, no TVs and certainly no social media networks for people to vent their outrage. The disastrous "La La Land"-"Moonlight" mistake of 2017 is rivalled only by the Best Director debacle of 1934, at the sixth Academy Awards. However, that mistake was caused not by a misplaced envelope, but by a case of mistaken identity. Three directors were up for the honour in 1934, and two of them were named Frank: Frank Capra, for "Lady for a Day," and Frank Lloyd, for "Cavalcade.". During the Best Director presentation, host Will Rogers got a little too casual with his announcement. Instead of reading the name of the film and the winning director, he simply said: "Come on up, Frank!". Frank Capra assumed it was him, and so did most of those around him. But on the other side of the room, Frank Lloyd ...
