Wow, Academy Awards mess up

So there are different theories as to whether the PWC Official was just goofing off, taking selfies and tweeting celebrity sightings, or whether it was a deliberate ratings stunt on the part of the Academy and unclear who all was in on it.

It appears that the guy from Price Waterhouse Cooper was busy tweeting a picture of Emma Stone when he handed the wrong envelope to Beatty and Dunaway.

I will agree, that Miss Stone is quite distracting. ..

The PWC accountants have not been fired from the firm but are permanently barred from working the Oscars. Whether the Academy will continue to employ the firm to process and guard Oscar results is under review. http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2017/03/01/academy-boots-both-pwc-pricewaterhousecoopers-accountants-next-year-oscars/98598564/

Maybe the Academy will go to a Carnak the Magnificent system of keeping the results in an empty mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnels back porch.
