奧斯卡大烏龍背後的真相

The accountancy firm in charge of the Oscars results has apologized after Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were handed the wrong results card when announcing the Best Picture award and incorrectly announced La La Land as the winner rather than Moonlight.

沃倫·比蒂和費·唐納薇在宣佈奧斯卡最佳影片獎時，因爲錯拿了評獎結果卡片，誤將得獎影片念成了《愛樂之城》，而不是《月光男孩》。事後，負責處理奧斯卡獎項結果的會計公司發了一份公開道歉聲明。

The statement said: "We sincerely apologize to Moonlight, La La Land, Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture."

聲明中說：“我們真誠地向《月光男孩》劇組、《愛樂之城》劇組、沃倫?比蒂、費?唐納薇和奧斯卡頒獎禮觀衆致歉，因爲在宣佈最佳影片環節中我們出了紕漏。”

It all started when Beatty opened the envelope to read the winner for best picture. He looked confused, took a long pause and then glanced at Dunaway. "Come on!" Beatty handed the envelope to Dunaway, who announced: "La La Land!"

一切始於比蒂打開信封準備念出最佳影片得主的那刻，他看上去很困惑，停頓了很長時間，然後望向唐納薇。“來吧！”比蒂把信封交給唐納薇，後者宣佈道：“《愛樂之城》！”

As the cameras cut away to the cast and crew of "La La Land" hugging, Beatty could be heard saying something such as, "It says Emma Stone," with Dunaway replying, "What?" As the La La Land cast were walking on stage to accept the accolade, a stagehand standing in the wings could be heard saying "Oh ... Oh my god, he got the wrong envelope".

鏡頭切換到《愛樂之城》的演員和劇組人員那裏，他們高興得抱成一團了，但大家可以聽到比蒂好像在說：“應該是愛瑪?斯通。”而唐納薇迴應道：“什麼？”當《愛樂之城》劇組上臺領獎時，可以聽到旁邊的舞臺管理人員說：“哦……哦！天啊！他拿錯信封了！”

While still on stage, Beatty blamed the epic mishap on being given the wrong envelope, saying he had seen the name Emma Stone from 'La La Land' when he opened his envelope.

比蒂還在臺上就遣責了這個因爲給錯信封而導致的史詩級巨大失誤，他說他打開信封就看到了“《愛樂之城》中的愛瑪?斯通”的名字。

"I want to tell you.what happened I opened the envelope and it said Emma Stone, La La Land and that is why I took such a long look at Faye and at you. I wasn't trying to be funny. This is Moonlight for best picture," Beatty told the shocked crowd as he explained the blunder.

比蒂在向震驚的人們解釋這一失誤時說：“我打開信封，看到是‘《愛樂之城》中的愛瑪?斯通’，我就想告訴你們了，所以我看了費和你們很長時間。我並不是想搞笑。最佳影片是《月光男孩》。”

An investigation is continuing into how La La Land was wrongly named Best Picture rather than the triumphant Moonlight.

目前正在調查最佳影片獎是如何被錯誤地念成《愛樂之城》而非真正得主《月光男孩》的。

Only two people know the Oscars winners list and supervise the counting procedures - PwC tax adviser Martha Ruiz and Brian Cullinan an accountant.

只有兩個人知道奧斯卡獎獲獎名單，他們負責審計整個流程，這兩個人就是PwC公司的稅務顧問瑪莎?瑞茲和會計師布萊恩?卡利南。

Cullinan and Ruiz each carry a suitcase containing a copy of the winning envelope for all the categories - meaning there are two envelopes for each award.

卡利南和瑞茲各提一隻裝着所有獎項結果信封的手提箱——也就是說，每個獎項都有兩隻信封。

The pair stand on opposite sides backstage and memorize the winners to avoid having to write them down and have revealed in the past how they carry out rigorous checks to ensure they have stuffed the envelopes correctly. It is believed Ruiz and Cullinan are ordered to destroy the duplicate cards as the presentation goes on, so by the time Best Picture is awarded, the only envelopes left are the two for Best Picture.

這兩個人站在後臺兩端，熟記獎項得主名字，以省去寫下名單的麻煩。從以往看，他們都做了細緻的檢查，以確保準確地填裝了信封。據信，按要求，瑞茲和卡利南要隨着頒獎典禮的進行毀掉兩張相同的卡片。所以，到頒最佳影片獎時，應該只剩下兩隻最佳影片獎信封。

When Beatty and Dunaway took the stage to announce the Best Picture award, Cullinan and Ruiz realized that they still had two best picture envelopes, meaning that the envelope taken on stage was a duplicate for an award that had already been announced.

比蒂和唐納薇上臺宣佈最佳影片獎時，卡利南和瑞茲意識到他們手裏還有兩隻最佳影片信封，也就是說，拿上臺的信封是已經宣佈過的獎項。

It is unknown why there was still a Best Actress duplicate available when Beatty walked on stage.

沒有人知道爲什麼比蒂上臺的時候還有一對最佳女演員信封。

Executives from PwC immediately realized there was a problem, but they were too late to rectify the mistake as Dunaway read out the name La La Land from a card that was meant to be for the Best Actress award, which Emma Stone won for her role in the film earlier in the night.

PwC公司的管理人員立刻意識到有問題，但一切都太遲了，他們沒法糾正錯誤了，唐納薇已經念出《愛樂之城》的名字，而那張卡片本來是爲最佳女演員準備的。那天晚上稍早些時候，就已經宣佈過愛瑪?斯通因爲在《愛樂之城》中的表演而獲得了最佳女演員獎。

After the officials realized what had happened, they tried to get on stage immediately. But the news was broken to the La La Land cast and crew after they had started their acceptance speeches.

官員們意識到發生了什麼之後，他們立刻想上臺救場。《愛樂之城》演員和劇組人員已經開始了獲獎感言，聽到這個消息，心都碎了。

La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz returned to the microphone after being told about the mix up and said 'Moonlight won Best Picture' and insisting that 'this is not a joke'.

烏龍事件澄清之後，《愛樂之城》製片人喬丹?霍羅威茨重新拿回麥克風說 “《月光男孩》獲得了最佳影片獎”，而且強調“這不是玩笑”。

"It's one of the strangest things that's ever happened to me," Beatty said backstage. "Thank God there were two of us up there," Dunaway responded.

比蒂在後臺說：“這真是我遇到的最離奇的一糟事。感謝上帝！幸好是我們兩個人在那裏！”

PwC has counted votes and provides winner envelopes for the Oscars and has done so for more than 80 years. This is the first time in Oscar history that the wrong envelope had been opened while an award was being announced.

PwC公司已爲奧斯卡計票並準備獲獎信封逾80年，這是奧斯卡歷史上第一次出現頒獎時拿錯信封的烏龍事件。
