From what he said, it sounded like he was given an envelope with Emma Stone's name on it

Yeah, someone probably handed him the Best Actress envelope.

Warren had the wrong envelope, knew it, showed Faye in confusion and Faye's senile rear end just shouted out the name of the movie she read on there.

Do they have duplicate envelopes or something? Was the envelope that Warren had already opened? I thought all envelopes are sealed. Didn't Emma take her envelope?

It's amazing the amount of things that had to go wrong in sequence for that to have happened.

And it makes it all the more funny.

Why did they have the voice over script ready talking about how La La Land won 7 Oscars etc though? Did they write one for everything so they didn't leak the winner or smth?

Only the accountants who tally the votes know the winner before it's read.

Yeah, this is actually what happened. It's a good thing he didn't mention Faye in his 'explanation'.

If you re-watch you can see a couple producers running through the crowd on stage, grabbing envelopes and reading them/

There's a hilarious amount of liveblogs out there that clearly saw the winner, thought "thank god we can go to bed" and missed the fun.

Yea, it should be a PSA: Vox has been trash for a long-rear end time.

TBF she probably just thought he was being a dick and letting her read the title so she just read the film like she thought she was supposed to.

The importance of communication, everyone.

Real or staged, if you have so many identical red envelopes I'm surprised it hasn't happened before at the Oscars tbh

The best part was watching Emma Stone's already freakishly huge eyes just keep getting bigger as the people started to figure out what had just happened.

Fun fact from that HuffPo article:

"Clarification: As a reader pointed out, a similar scenario did once occur. In 1964, Sammy Davis Jr. was given the wrong envelope. Davis was presenting Best Adaptation or Treatment Score, but ended up announcing the Best Original Score recipient instead. �They gave me the wrong envelope?� he asked upon realizing what had just happened. A PwC representative quickly emerged to hand him the proper information. �Wait�ll the NAACP hears about this!� Davis joked."

People who think that was scripted vastly underestimate how much the Academy is obsessed with image control. No way in a million years would they intentionally gently caress up a Best Picture reveal.
