Organisers of the Academy Awards have announced they will put new rules in place for the year’s ceremony to avoid a repeat of last year’s envelope mix-up. In case you were living under a rock for most of 2017, during last year’s ceremony it was announced that La La Land was the winner of Best Picture. Presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were given the wrong envelope by the group in charge of the award winner, PricewaterhouseCoopers (also known as Pwc). Both the celebrity presenter and the stage manager will have to confirm to the partners that they have the correct envelope before stepping on stage. Ryan finally added that the three balloting partners will attend show rehearsals and practice what to do if something goes wrong.
