They say you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression, but Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are going to try.
The duo will again present the Oscar for Best Picture on Sunday, even after the embarrassing fiasco of last year. But not everyone’s on board.
“I think that’s the worst idea I’ve heard in a very long time,” Sean O'Connell, managing director at Cinemablend, told Cheddar on Friday.
“Anything that points any attention back to that disaster...By bringing those two presenters up again, it’s just reminding people of how badly things went last year.”
Last year’s presentation, of course, went down in infamy. In a backstage mix-up, Beatty was handed the wrong envelope just before he went on stage. When announcing the recipient of the night’s top prize, the trophy was wrongly awarded to “La La Land” instead of the actual winner, “Moonlight.”
The PwC executives in charge of the envelopes, who were ultimately responsible for the flub, were not invited back.
The 90th Academy Awards will air Sunday at 8 pm ET on ABC.

Buy now, pay later — or point-of-sales loans — might be making it difficult to get a handle on your credit. These companies typically do not report payment history during transactions, so without this data going to credit scoring companies, it makes it difficult to know how many loans a customer still needs to pay.

Body odor is natural, but it’s not exactly welcome… Thankfully, we have all kinds of deodorants and antiperspirants to help eliminate the stink. But believe it or not, there was a time when people weren’t so ready to accept these solutions. In fact, it took a pretty savage marketing campaign to convince us we had a problem at all.
