New rules to prevent Oscars envelope gaffe

By Associated Press
January 22, 2018 12:00 AM
FILE - In this Feb. 26, 2017, file photo, Jordan Horowitz, producer of 'La La Land,' left, shows the envelope revealing 'Moonlight' as the true winner of best picture at the Oscars in Los Angeles as presenter Warren Beatty and host Jimmy Kimmel, right, look on. The film academy and its accounting firm, PwC, are announcing a spate of new rules Monday, Jan. 22, 2018, meant to avoid an envelope gaffe like at last year’s show, when “La La Land” was mistakenly announced as the winner instead of “Moonlight.” PwC U.S. Chairman Tim Ryan said the new protocols include additional personnel and oversight, as well as practicing what to do if a presenter reads the wrong name.
