Best Picture

So what exactly happened When that final name was read? Is it true that the presenters Got a mixed-up card instead? The accountants took the blame, of course, But was the fault their own? And the host accused himself, but really, How could he have known? Both the stars who did the blurting Were insistent they’d been fooled And it’s possible they were and thus, Unfairly ridiculed. Still, to all of us who watched, We’ll never know how it occurred. Just another case of truth and fiction’s Borders being blurred.

You raise questions I also raised. The mix up was not the accountants fault. But imagine the letdown for the wrong winners! Nicely and clearly writteh, Ilene. / M
