LOS ANGELES — Oscar ballot counters PricewaterhouseCoopers issued a public apology for the envelope mix-up that foiled their “fail safe” system during the 2017 Academy Awards ceremony on Feb. 26, when presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway received the wrong envelope and announced La La Land as Best Picture. (Moonlight actually won.) Prior to the envelope glitch, during rehearsals at about 11:30 a.m., one of the skyscraper staging elements toppled over, reportedly crushing a camera. Fortunately no one was injured, and the ceremony was able to proceed as originally planned.
