PwC confirmed to The Huffington Post that both Ruiz and Cullinan will not be dealing with the Oscars any longer and are still partners at the firm. In a statement, the firm apologized to the casts and crew of “Moonlight” and “La La Land,” as well as Dunaway and Beatty, taking full responsibility for the mixup. PwC has counted Oscar ballots for the past 83 years. We spoke with photographer Andrew H. Walker, who shot the accountant mixing two red envelopes while backstage, to find out his perspective on the night’s happenings. Walker said he observed Cullinan backstage, noting that he’d “talk with each presenter and prep them before walking out on stage.”“My impression of him and the others was that they were very capable, qualified people,” he said.
