All members of the Academy who are eligible are invited to vote
their nominations for Best Picture.
In most other categories the nominations are decided by a vote of
the members working in that specific category.
Then the entire membership chooses from those nominations the recipients
of the Oscars.
And finally, the results of all the secret voting are known only to
the independent accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers until
the sealed envelops are opened on the air.

STATEMENT FROM PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS

Posted:Monday, February 27, 2017 - 00:30

We sincerely apologize to "Moonlight," "La La Land," Warren Beatty, 
Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award 
announcement for Best Picture. 
The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and 
when discovered, was immediately corrected. We are currently investigating 
how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred.

We appreciate the grace with which the nominees, the Academy, ABC, and 
Jimmy Kimmel handled the situation.

明日3月から,読売新聞から朝日新聞に切り替わるのですが,本日はサービスで入っていました。
月曜始まりのカレンダーが欲しかったので,雑誌『F1速報』新年情報号のリバーシブルのものをぶった切って,
2つのカレンダーに作り変えました。最初のページとはお別れですわ。
