In a shocking ending to the Academy Awards,’ La La Land’ was announced as the winner of the Best Picture award when in fact it was ‘Moonlight’.
It appears as though PricewaterhouseCoopers accountant Brian Cullinan was obsessed with Best Actress winner Emma Stone’s boobs on a monitor when he handed off the wrong envelope to Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Cullinan handed them a duplicate copy of the ‘Actress in a Leading Role’ award which happened to be Emma Stone in ’ La La Land’. A confused Beatty handed off the card to Dunaway who read the bottom line, La La Land, in mistakenly announcing the Best Picture winner.
Thanks to Emma’s boobs, Cullinan and his co-worker Martha Ruiz have been canned by the Academy.

How could two employees of Price-Waterhouse be fired by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences? I don't get that. I can see where they might fire Price-Waterhouse, or pressure Price-Waterhouse into sacking them, but the academy can't fire them themselves. They don't work for the academy.
Bob, they were not fired by the accounting firm. They were fired by the Academy so that the two cannot work with it anymore. PricewaterhouseCoopers said they will not be fired by it.
Ok, that makes semi-sense.
