"We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred," PricewaterhouseCooper concluded. That no official stepped up to the mic to rectify the situation indicates a grave blunder on the organizers' parts.

A full two and a half minutes passed between La La Land's announcement and the correction, which was issued by a La La Land producer, rather than a show manager or even Kimmel. Unfortunately for all involved, the error was not fixed instantly. "The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected." "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," a statement from PricewaterhouseCoopers read. So how could a mistake this major happen on a night watched by some 30 million Americans? The blame lies with accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, which handles the Oscar envelopes. Perhaps the only similar moment in Oscar history traces back to 1933, when presenter Will Rogers said "Come and get it, Frank," and Frank Capra headed to the podium instead of the winner, Frank Lloyd. Jenkins is correct that the mix-up was unprecedented. "I noticed the commotion but I was speechless when the result was altered. "I think all the movies that were nominated were worthy so I accepted the result, I applauded like everybody else," recalled Jenkins backstage of the initial announcement.
