I'd Like to Thank the Academy for Another Steve Harvey Failed Moment for the Oscars

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Anyone else had a feeling of Deja Vu after watching the Oscars?

Well the plot twist of the century was a mere copycat of the Miss Universe 2016 failed moment.

Just like in the movie, La La Land got a taste of happy ever after right before it got brutally snatched away. The end of the Oscars was just like the end of La La Land. First, came the fantasy dream sequence and then real life came crashing in.

But the movie cast and production were polite enough to announce themselves that Moonlight was the real winner, and that Warren Beatty and his co-presentor Faye Dunaway made a mistake in announcing the real Best Picture winner. 

Of course, they had to blame Steve Harvey for this ala Miss Universe 2016 mistake. I was expecting to see Steve coming out to tell us it was all a joke, but Steve Kimmel could do the breaking of the news instead.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) accounting firm has issued an apology after handing the wrong envelope to the presenters of the Best Picture award at the 89th Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday, February 26 (Monday February 27 in the Philippines) leading to the most dramatic Oscars mix-up in history.
