Accountants Responsible for Oscar Flub Booted Forever from Show

The president of the film academy says the two accountants responsible for the best-picture flub at Sunday’s Academy Awards will never work the Oscars again. She also laments that the error overshadowed the show’s rich diversity of talent and storytelling after two years of the “OscarsSoWhite” crisis.

Cue the "You Had Only One Job" memes. If I was PWc I would send two accountants who do not give a damn about Hollywood so they only care about doing their job.

Haha...chances are good they also employed minorities to take care of the envelopes.

They now have bodyguards.

Can’t escape the thought that this was all set-up to generate interest in a dying program.

Even Hollywood’s press releases are recycled clichés. “You’ll never work in this town again!”

There's that too!

PWC, I’m surprised they weren’t H1B accountants.

“you’ll never interfere with our narrative again”.

An interesting scenario to contemplate:

Suppose that the mistake had gone the other way, that the “wrong” card handed to Warren Beatty had been for Best Supporting Actor, Mahershala Ali, who was in “Moonlight”.... that Faye Dunaway announces “Moonlight” as the winner for Best Picture, when the actual choice is “La La Land.”

Now imagine the racially tinged uproar, then and since, when it is announced while all the “Moonlight” people are onstage, that the mistake went the other way and that the correct Best Picture is “La La Land.”

ooooh, Hollyweird would never have recovered from the charges of racial bias etc. Would they even have dared to announce the correction? It would have been delicious to see all the liberals put in such a disastrous situation after all the “Oscars too White” drumbeat, etc.

The easiest way to prevent this from happening again is to have two PWc accountants on each side of the stage, with no electronic devices allowed in their possession.

All this “flub a dub dub” did was show what a bunch of fools the Hollowoodies are. Now the children of these people will have no food and shelter. They will probably be homeless.

I think there is a very good chance of that.

It’s interesting that firing people for screwing up is now newsworthy. Seems to me that it used to happen all the time.

I heard that this morning. Absolutely ridiculous over reaction to a meaningless error. Who the hell cares? Who cares enough to threaten these people and why?

[BRL]

Perhaps it’s another case we’re having two responsible people is more dangerous than having one responsible person for a particular task. I think that was one of the Lessons Learned in one of the space shuttle disasters.

Diverse? Diverse?

Your sewer has diversity.

Your water supply does not.

And we all know which category encompases the H-Wood high school grad losers.

“Then, of course, there was the last 90 seconds,” Boone Isaacs said. “And what angered me, I would say, in these last couple days is (the focus on) this 90 seconds and moving to the side the brilliance of the day.”

Aww. Too bad. People in show business, of all people, should know that the ending makes or breaks the show.

[Professional]

Can Trump pardon the accountants?

[RummyChick]

Probably typical lib hate
