Jakarta, CNN Indonesia - Academy Awards or Oscar 2017 closed with the tragedy of one of the winners of the highest category, Best Picture. The nominee reader Warren Beatty explained that the wrong envelope was the trigger for the excitement.
"Hello, I want to explain what really happened," Beatty said as he stepped into the microphone while carrying an Oscar statue and a red envelope.
"I opened the envelope [for the Best Picture category], and it says 'Emma Stone - La La Land', so I have a long look with Fey [Dunaway] and you guys," Beatty explained again. "I'm not trying to be funny [about this]."
Prior to the winning of the Best Picture category, Emma Stone won the Best Actrees award for her role in La La Land.

"Now, you're really funny," said Oscar host, Jimmy Kimmel.
The 79-year-old actor's explanation was applauded by the audience at Dolby Theater, Los Angeles. For the umpteenth time, before the show closed, Beatty tried to convince the audience of the Moonlight victory.
"This is real, Moonlight, Best Picture," Beatty said.
Previously, Kimmel had tried to dilute the atmosphere after La La Land producer, Jordan Horowitz, looks tense when the victory to Moonlight.
"This is an important situation, I will blame Steve Harvey for this incident," Kimmel said, referring to a similar incident when he uttered the Miss Universe 2015 win.

Incorrect Amplop
But there are other views related to the wrong incident of the envelope. Josh Dickey, Mashable's entertainment editor present at the awards ceremony, said on twitter that the envelope bearing the Best Actress held by the winner, Emma Stone
A spokeswoman for Leonardo DiCaprio said the actor had told him that Leo had given the victory's victory to Stone and said "You definitely want to keep this envelope."
One source of the production team backstage said one of the winners was not Warren's responsibility.
The source unleashed a very chaotic backstage atmosphere, people shouted "Oh my f * cking God! He [Warren] got the wrong envelope!"
This wrong occurrence is not the first time. Earlier, in 1964, musician Sammy Davis Jr. Also got the wrong envelope when winning music category.
According to the source of the Oscar committee at that time, every time a winner of a category is mentioned, there are two copies of the envelope prepared by the committee. One envelope to read on stage, and another as backup or archive.
