00:00It was the envelope flub scene around the world, but hey, everyone deserves a second chance, right?

00:12Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway are expected to return to the Oscars Sunday on ABC and present

00:18Best Picture after last year's epic mix-up. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed Beatty and

00:23Dunaway were rehearsing at the Dolby Theatre Thursday night and are expected to announce the

00:27top honor again at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony. The duo was tapped to present in 2017,

00:32timed to the 50th anniversary of their film, Bonnie and Clyde. But after an envelope mix-up

00:37by on-site accountants from PricewaterhouseCooper, the award was mistakenly given to La La Land

00:43over Moonlight. You remember how it went down.

00:45This is not a joke. Moonlight has won Best Picture. Moonlight, Best Picture.

00:52A PricewaterhouseCooper's statement read at the time,

00:55The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and, when discovered,

01:00was immediately corrected.

01:40Just keep the jokes away from the actual Best Picture presentation.
