There's no chance anyone will ever forget this year's big Oscars screwup. But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has apparently decided they're willing to forgive it. 。
The organization behind the awards ceremony has voted to stick with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accounting firm responsible for the mix-up that led to the wrong movie being announced for Best Picture. 。

PwC, which has handled the Academy's ballots for the past 83 years, took full responsibility for the mishap. In a statement announcing its decision, the Academy called the error "unacceptable," but added that "after a thorough review," they planned to stay with the firm. 。
No doubt whichever PwC accountants get the gig next year, they'll be extra careful not to repeat their predecessors' mistakes. 。
