Warren Beatty’s Envelope at Oscars 2017 Said Best Actress, Not Best Picture
Well, we know it was not Warren Beatty‘s fault for the wrong winner being announced at the 2017 Academy Awards because he was given the wrong envelope!
The envelope that the legendary actor was holding on stage while he and Faye Dunaway announced the winner for Best Picture said, “Actress in a Leading Role.”
When Warren opened the envelope, he looked confused as it said “Emma Stone, La La Land” as the winner. He looked in the envelope to see if there was another card and when he showed the card to Faye, she announced La La Land as the winner.
You can clearly see in the photo below that the envelope did not say Best Picture!
Make sure to watch Warren explain what happened!
