The Biggest and dramatic Scenario

What happened when the winner name was misread
The film La La Land was announced the best film of 2017 at the Oscar Award which was held on Sunday Night, but the most dramatic scene in the Award occurred when all came to know that the announcement had gone wrong because the wrong envelope was given to the announcer mistakenly. This became the most dramatic scene in the history of Academic Award Show.
Announcement of Real Winner
It was realized that the name of the film was wrongly announced due to the wrong envelope halfway during the acceptance speech by La La Land Team.
La La Land producer, Jordan Horowitz, suddenly gasped when the card in the right envelope showed that “The Moonlight” was the winner. He told:
“There’s a mistake. Moonlight, you won best picture,”
Apology Statement by PwC
Price Waterhouse Coopers which manages the Oscar Awards released an apology saying:
“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.”
While PwC partners, Brian Cullinan, Martha Ruiz and others behind-the-scenes Oscars staff were discussing the mix-up, the La-La land producer Fred Berger continued his speech saying:
“We lost, by the way!”
The La La Land Team then handed over the golden statue to “The Moonlight” team.
