To be fair to him, he had what he assumed was The envelope, and he probably didn’t look at the cover of it, they read the nominees, and he opened the one envelope he had, assuming it was correct. Then he sees it read “ Emma Stone - LaLa Land.” So he didn’t read it aloud. He looked in the envelope for another card. He looked at the monitor to see if it would help. Nothing. Faye is growing impatient. He shows her. She reads the film title, ignoring the Emma Stone name.

And the fact that there were two identical Emma Stone actress win envelopes doesn’t put any wins in question at all. There weren’t two winners of best picture.

No, am not faulting Beatty. He got dealt a bum card. :) (It's late) and you are correct in it really doesn't put any wins in question. Just puts a pall on the whole evening.

FWIW, I'm not an avid moviegoer, but hadn't even heard of the movie that won.
