PwC explains how it made the worst screw-up in Oscars history

In a statement, PwC said:

"We sincerely apologize to 'Moonlight,' 'La La Land,' Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for best picture.

"The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected. We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred.

"We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation."

The Academy released an official apology for the mishap Monday night.

“We deeply regret the mistakes that were made during the presentation of the Best Picture category during last night’s Oscar ceremony. We apologize to the entire cast and crew of La La Land and Moonlight whose experience was profoundly altered by this error. We salute the tremendous grace they displayed under the circumstances. To all involved  —  including our presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, the filmmakers, and our fans watching worldwide  —  we apologize. For the last 83 years, the Academy has entrusted PwC to handle the critical tabulation process, including the accurate delivery of results. PwC has taken full responsibility for the breaches of established protocols that took place during the ceremony,” the statement continued. “We have spent last night and today investigating the circumstances, and will determine what actions are appropriate going forward. We are unwaveringly committed to upholding the integrity of the Oscars and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.”

:camby:It's still being investigated so it's no conspiracy until there's a logical explanation why protocols were breached like this for the first time in 88 years.

You all are acting like this is some BET awards mixup. This is the BIGGEST award of the year and the only excuse you got is dude was tweeting backstage, like he wasn't put in charge of the most secured envelope in Hollywood. I guess you think he had his phone in one hand and just passed on the envelope with his other hand without looking at it on some teenager shyt.

:camby:You must be as dumb as that drake stan bytch if you think the Oscars is run like the BET awards were shyt like this can just happen by mistake cause dude was having fun backstage.

Protocols were broken because that guy was acting like some groupie hoe instead of being professional and doing his job.

:stopitslime:And that's the BS excuse that YOU chose to believe. Oscars ain't the BET awards. He's using that tweeting excuse to hide whoever told him to pass the wrong envelope. Like I said though, whoever planned to sabotage the win pulled it off so there's nothing left to debate. No one is talking about Moonlight or it winning best picture. That was the plan.

Ok, let me get this straight.

Your theory is that someone with the power to make that PWC dude switch the envelopes hates Moonlight. For being black, I guess. So instead of just making the PWC dude give out a envelope where La La Land wins Best Picture his plans were to still let Moonlight win but in a dramatic way to get people to NOT talk about Moonlight?

Diversity at the Oscars was supposed to be the headline on Monday. Higher ups made sure that this screw up was the main story instead.

:umad:ya'll sound like white Trump supporters. Obviously this type of shyt could never happen in that bubble you live in. I bet you think Russia didn't rig the elections too?

We are just of sound minds

Occam's razor (or Ockham's razor) is a principle from philosophy. Suppose there exist two explanations for an occurrence. In this case, the simpler one is usually better. Another way of saying it is that the more assumptions you have to make, the more unlikely an explanation is. Occam's razor applies especially in the philosophy of science, but also more generally.

Example: Two trees have fallen down during a windy night. Think about these two possible explanations:

  1. The wind has blown them down.
  2. Two meteorites have each taken one tree down, and after that hit each other and removed any trace of themselves.[14]
Even though both are possible, several other unlikely things would also need to happen for the meteorites to have knocked the trees down (they would have to hit each other and also not leave any marks). In addition, meteorites are fairly rare. Since this second explanation needs several assumptions to all be true, it is probably the wrong answer. Occam's razor tells us that the wind blew the trees down, because that is the simplest answer and therefore probably the right one.

Occam's razor also comes up in medicine. When there are many explanations for symptoms, the simplest diagnosis is the one to test first. If a child has a runny nose, it probably has the common cold rather than a rare birth defect. Medical students are often told, "When you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras".[15]
