The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 54-person board of governors has “decided to continue working with PwC” in spite of the Best Picture snafu at the 2017 ceremony.
He had reportedly been warned about using his smartphone during ceremonies in the past, and apparently threw a party the night before the Oscars where he was bragging about knowing the winners.
The Moonlight/La La Land mix-up was largely attributed to accountant Brian Cullinan’s tweeting.
PwC has overseen the awards since 1934 and more recently started handling The Academy’s taxes and board voting, with chairman Tim Ryan’s apology for the “human error” apparently proving sufficient.
