Oscars had another screw up last night

During the show's In Memoriam tribute to industry figures who have passed away in the last 12 months, a photograph of a woman who is still alive was used by mistake.
The mishap came as the Academy attempted to pay tribute to Janet Patterson.
Instead of showing a picture of the costume-designer, an image of fellow Australian Jan Chapman was shown alongside Patterson's name and job description.
Patterson, who died in October, was a four-time Oscars nominee for films The Piano, Portrait of a Lady, Oscar and Lucinda, and Bright Star.
Jan Chapman meanwhile is one of Australia's leading film-makers.
She had previously worked with Patterson on Bright Star and The Piano
a statement to Variety, Chapman said: "I was devastated by the use of my image in place of my great friend and long-time collaborator Janet Patterson.
"I had urged her agency to check any photograph which might be used and understand that they were told that the Academy had it covered.
"Janet was a great beauty and four-time Oscar nominee and it is very disappointing that the error was not picked up."

Pompous pricks frick up all sorts of easy stuff.

Shows are desperate for publicity. It's permeating across all networks.
Very few of these occurrences are accidental

I guess to the Academy, all Australians look the same.
