If you haven't seen Moonlight yet, don't let this #Oscars mixup overshadow things. See it. It's beautiful. Same goes for La La Land.

Brian Cullinan is a partner at PwC, the accounting firm that runs the balloting for the Oscars.

Cullinan: From a security perspective, we double up everything. That’s why there’s two of us. We have two briefcases, that are identical, and we have two entire sets of winning envelopes. Martha carries one of those briefcases, I carry the other. We go to the show separately with police escorts. I used to think it was for our security, it’s really for the briefcase [laughs]. We take different routes to get there just because of the kinds of things that can happen in L.A. traffic. We want to make sure that no matter what happens, one of us gets there. We’ve never really had a problem with that.

Here's some fresh reporting from Nichola Groom.

Emma Stone, whose card for best actress in 'La La Land' Warren Beatty said had been mistakenly read, said she wasn't sure what happened. "I also was holding my best actress in a leading role card that whole time," she said. "I had that card so I'm not sure what happened."

In true form, La La Land only won Best Picture in a fantasy moment shared between former lovers imagining wistfully what might have been.

The real star of tonight wasn't Emma Stone or Casey Affleck, but Jordan Horowitz, the producer who handled a dismal situation perfectly.

'Moonlight' wins best picture Oscar, beating 'La La Land' after mishap
By Jill Serjeant
"Moonlight" won the Oscar for best picture on Sunday, beating favorite "La La Land" for the movie industry's most prestigious award.
But in a highly unusual mishap, presenter Warren Beatty first, mistakenly initially announced that musical "La La Land" had won, causing confusion and uproar on Hollywood's biggest night. Beatty said he had been given the wrong envelope to open.

by cassandra.garrison 2/27/2017 5:24:53 AM
After the cast of 'La La Land' took the stage, a producer rushed on stage to check the envelope, then interrupted the speeches to clarify a mistake - it was 'Moonlight' that won Best Picture. We are working on reporting how this mishap occurred.
