Jimmy Kimmel is pointing fingers after Sundays Oscar snafu (and its not looking good for Faye Dunaway).
After a flurry of onstage confusion,Moonlightwas announced as the winner instead.
See what Warren did there?
said Kimmel of the moment when Beatty hesitated before handing the envelope to Dunaway.
EW was given an advance copy of his monologue, taped earlier Monday.
He was confused, so he let her read the winner.
In other words, Clyde threw Bonnie under the bus.
I have to be honest … its one of the slickest moves Ive ever seen.
So Faye Dunaway announcesLa La Landas best picture.
Which made sense it was the favorite to win.
So now I am sitting in the audience watching the speeches.
He was a loser.
He is a loser.
And then I remember, oh Im the host.
Kimmel reassured his viewers that the mix-up was not a hoax.
As I walked off stage, people started to speculate that maybe I was pulling a prank.
There would have been a Bed Bath & Beyond coupon inside.
It was not a prank.
And by the way, the producers ofLa La Landwere very gracious, on stage and off.
They handled it very well.
It was a very amicable custody arrangement.
They didnt even ask for visitation or anything.
For whatever reason, they have two of each envelope, Kimmel said.
Theres a regular envelope and a backup envelope, just to make it more confusing.
The accountants gave Warren the wrong card, andthey apologized for it today.
So it wasnt Warren Beattys fault.
And Faye Dunaway, she made quite a getaway.
She read the wrong name and split.
She got the hell out of there.
PEOPLE reported, meanwhile, that she had the time of her life at the Vanity Fair party.
