Duo of Oscarblunder gets a second chance
After they announced the wrong winner last year at the Oscar Award for Best Film, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty are allowed to take part in the next Sunday, according to TMZ. Then the Academy Awards will be presented in Hollywood.
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway will re-appear, according to a US Magazine, to hand over the Oscar.
In 2017 a mistake was made with the envelopes during the presentation. The accountants who were responsible for this accidentally exchanged the envelope containing the winner.
As a result, the Beatty and Dunaway, instead of Moonlight, announced La La land as the winner. The whole cast of La La Land had already gathered on stage when producer Jordan Horowitz corrected the mistake and handed the Oscar to the makers of Moonlight.
Because the presentation was so messy, the makers of Moonlight would get the chance to take the time this year. "The Academy wants to give Moonlight a new chance to re-accept their Oscar, and Faye and Warren will hand out the statuette as the first award of the evening," said a source opposite the entertainment website.
The Academy Awards, which will take place for the ninetieth time this year, will be presented on Sunday 4 March.
According to a source, Faye and Warren have been spotted at the rehearsals of the glamor event and have practiced 'their' moment twice. The lyricists would have incorporated some jokes in their sentences, referring to the disastrous moment of last year. Then Faye proclaimed the film Lalaland as the best film, where the actual winner Moonlight was.
