[SARCASM]I wonder if the distraught actors will have handed back their $100,000 swag bags in disgust because of their ruined night, it must have been devastating for them, how horrible, the trauma will stay with them for the rest of their lives. [/SARCASM]

Distracted Envelope Award Distribution - yes DEAD - is what his termination papers will read




The guy on the right (Brian Cullinan) was supposed to discard his unused Best Actress envelope before Beatty came to him for the Best Picture envelope. Why didn't he? Because he was busy tweeting a pic he took of Emma Stone for her winning Best Actress. He later pulled the tweet since it proved he wasn't doing his job keeping pace of the envelopes for his side of the stage.

Here's the tweet he pulled (and has now locked down his twitter account).

Wow... This seems to really have bothered a few here... Maybe if they were in support of the grand leader, not as many feelins would be hurt

Market that PWC.

Lol, classic stuff. Enjoy the responses here.
Don't watch it and don't care.
I got the news from a WSJ alert on my phone.
Too much self appreciation and too political for me.

No can do...PwC is private - not traded on any market

This may be the first time I have watched the oscars in a decade. It was pretty dull. Frankly, aside from when they paraded unsuspecting tourists through the front row, the blunder was all that made it worth watching

Sorry to say, but it's not. Occasionally, I have to work with PWC and they really are a bunch of clueless idiots. This does not surprise me in the least.
