Warren Beatty says Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs should “publicly clarify” what happened during Sunday night’s best picture presentation, after La La Land was mistakenly read out as best picture winner by Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
The PwC partner tweeted a behind-the-scenes photo of best-actress winner Emma Stone moments before the best picture announcement.
Beatty declined to comment further on the debacle that led to him and co-presenter Faye Dunaway to name La La Land as best picture winner rather than Moonlight.
“I feel it would be more appropriate for the president of the Academy, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, to publicly clarify what happened as soon as possible,” said Beatty.
