LOS ANGELES: Variety has obtained exclusive photos of PricewaterhouseCoopers accountant Brian Cullinan -- the man behind the infamous envelope mix-up -- leading up to and during Sunday's gaffe in which "La La Land" was erroneously named best picture over "Moonlight." PWC has already confirmed Cullinan, a top executive at the firm, as the person responsible for giving presenter Warren Beatty the incorrect envelope. Meanwhile Beatty and Dunaway had taken the stage at 9:03pm, putting the PWC executive on social media at the start of Beatty and Dunaway's presentation. He is very upset about this mistake," PWC chairman Tim Ryan told Variety on Monday. The Academy has since apologized to the "La La Land" and "Moonlight" filmmakers, as well as Beatty and Dunaway, and continues to investigate the matter.
