What Happened At The Oscars: Anatomy Of A Disaster | TODAY

[ChasingCarson]

They needed to apologize to warren because they were so rude to him

[Goldstone]

Grabbing the card and holding it up to the camera was so important for that moment. People didn’t know what to believe until that point

[sanoush]

Not a big deal. It actually made the Oscars more interesting 😎

[mubyhartje]

That accountant looks like matt damon lol

[harabas]

BEST PICTURE

'' MOONLIGHT ''

[sodea]

wow...that accountant guy looks exactly like matt damon...may that had something to do with it..

[lisad]

Lol..."Pretty exciting night for an accountant." Accountants get no respect.

[gargantuaism]

What does the Tweet of Emma Stone winning Best Actress have to do with the fact that Warren was handed the wrong envelope?

[erickmaues]

These two auditors are probably already fired by now.

[boydoll]

Doesn't he have a real job to do? I'm referring to Trump. I think there was a serious "mix up" in his win, as well. #PresdentialRecall

[jamesonoof]

Wow matt damon ran the whole show! Very disappointing lol

When he said PwC's accountant's names i clearly heard Martha Louise - Apparently is Martha Ruiz...
Is my hearing that bad since english is not my first language?

[edazura]

well dejavu back to miss universe 2016 ... but the pwc was the culprit now, not the host ...

[JoeyLamontagne]

The next day E&Y took over with Deloitte and KPMG watching ravenously

[dianewinchester]

la la land's director is  good man.

[piercenguyen]

Do their oscar trophies have given back to the ceremony after mistakes?

[michellero]

Is Brian Cullinan Matt Damon's twin

[macharper]

Trump's tweet about it was totally stupid.

[shayhouk]

I think it was hilarious cosmic justice!!!

[monsieuraout]
