This is the guy who we're told is responsible for the biggest screwup in Oscar history ... the guy who handed Warren Beatty the wrong envelope.
His name -- Brian Cullinan -- an accountant at Pricewaterhouse. He's a veteran ... 30 years at the accounting firm.
Here's the thing ... Brian was supposed to discard the spare Best Actress envelope and hand Warren Best Picture.
As for why ... we know this. Brian was tweeting like crazy during the ceremony, posting photos ... so he may have been distracted. Brian has since deleted the tweets, but one was a pic of Emma Stone with her Oscar. If it was tweeted right after her win, that's exactly when Brian should've been prepping for the next category ... Best Picture.
No word on whether discipline is in store.
FOUND... THE... REPUBLICAN!!!
Yayy! Whoopie! (applause)
Good thing Price Waterhouse isn’t handling the nuclear football. They might hand it off to Hillary.
Don’t they write “BEST PICTURE” on the front of the envelope????
His partners will not be amused. A lot of advertising wasted in one bonehead move.
the Oscars changed the envelope company this year, according to Radar.com
Heh heh.
But I don't really believe it. He's probably a leftie.
I would short their stock. This is about the worst publicity an accounting firm could get. They’ve become a laughing stock.
the type was awuuly small, so small that Faye Dunaway couldn’t read it...Warren Beatty was feauding with her backstage and just let her burn! lolz
Has he been fired yet?
Yes. Video stills from the broadcast show Beatty holding an envelope that read “ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE”.
While there was no excuse to hand Beatty the wrong envelope, he damn well should have looked at the envelope. It’s called “woodshed your copy.”
Screw the Oscars. They’re just about rich people giving really ugly little statues to other rich people.
Faye was feuding backstage because SHE wanted to announce best picture. Beatty let her have it for sure!! (best inside joke ever)
So the dogs are let loose to destroy the guy over some petty bullsh!t like this? Seems excessive. Oscars? WGAFF. (Just to offer a contrary opinion.)
PWC missed the Enron scam and the AIG mortgage scam. This mistep was nothing compared to those
Russian operative - he’s got that look
I'm with you on that one.
And these asses from HELLywood want to run our lives!!!! Fers oughta get their houses in order First before they strive to tell us how to run our nation!!!
Beatty is a douchbag, he can go down for this one.
