And the winners are… Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway?
Beatty and Dunaway have reportedly been selected to present the 2018 Oscar winner for best picture, despite the two presenters’ botched announcement last year.
The actor and actress arrived at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood to do some necessary rehearsing, TMZ reported Thursday evening.
A source told the website that the pair quickly ran through their bit, and that Dunaway began by saying, “Presenting is better the second time around.” Beatty then responded, “The winner is ‘Gone with the Wind.'”
Both Beatty and Dunaway could use the extra practice after announcing the wrong best picture winner at the end of last year’s show, saying “La La Land” won the award instead of “Moonlight.”
Beatty was presented the wrong envelope before taking the stage, creating one of the most awkward Oscars moments of all time.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers took responsibility for the major mix-up and has since apologized.
“The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered, was immediately corrected,” PWC stated after last year’s error.
The bonehead handling the envelope, Brian Cullinan, was reportedly tweeting during the show, his last photo being a snap of Best Actress winner Emma Stone.
Soon after, Cullinan apparently passed off a duplicate of the very envelope Stone had received, and chaos ensued.
Cullinan will not be working the Oscars this year, PWC said soon after last year’s fiasco.
