In just a few hours’ time, the winner of Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards will be announced.
Well, let’s hope that that is what is announced!
Bosses at auditing firm, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, still probably have sleepless nights over the fiasco which took place at last year’s Oscars when Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty announced La La Land the film of the year.
What ensued can only be described as utter chaos, when – whilst the producers of La La Land were in the middle of their acceptance speeches – it was revealed that, in fact, Moonlight had actually won.
The auditors responsible for handing over the wrong envelope have been banned from working for the Awards ever again, but it appears as though Faye and Warren have been given a chance to make things right, as they have been chosen to present the same award this year.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Bonnie and Clyde pair have been rehearsing at the Dolby Theatre (which they reportedly didn’t last time!) and the actress will begin by saying, “Presenting is better the second time round.”
Let’s really hope that it is.
