You’ll Never Work In This Town Again: Academy Awards Edition

Or: Oscar hates you

Yeah, Hollywood where the “Champions of the Little Guy” live just kicked two to the curb:

The fallout from the historic Oscars 2017 flub is starting to spread: The two accountants involved won’t be coming back to work the Academy Awards, says film academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs.


Boone Isaacs told the Associated Press (archived formerly via bigstory.ap.org) Wednesday that the two staffers from PricewaterhouseCoopers will never return to the Oscars show. She blamed one of them for being distracted by tweeting during the show.

In the Sucks to be You category:

Brian Cullinan and Martha Ruiz, both high-ranking officials at the firm known as the “Tiffany” of accountancy, were working Sunday night when Cullinan gave the wrong winner envelope to presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, resulting in the mistaken announcement of La La Land as best picture instead of the true winner, Moonlight. 

Bub bye.
