It was the weirdest ending to an Oscar telecast in history. Two icons of American cinema, Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, reunited onstage to read the 2017 Best Picture winner. And at first, it was utterly unsurprising: “La La Land”! Then it was more surprising than anyone had imagined: Beatty had received a card for Best Actress that contained Emma Stone’s name. In his confusion, he handed it to Dunaway, who read the film’s title. And then it fell to producer Jordan Horowitz to set the record straight, in a cringe-worthy moment for the ages.
Moments later, Beatty and Dunaway made their way upstairs to the Governors Ball, where IndieWire was hanging out by the door and witnessed the two of them engage in the following exchange, still shellshocked by the experience.
When Beatty first entered the Governors Ball, he was met by New York-based Oscar-season consultant Peggy Siegal.
