i wasn't trying to be funny. >> reporter: the firm writing in a statement the presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope and when discovered was immediately corrected. that correction coming nearly two minutes later as the "la la land" team -- >> thank you to my parents. >> reporter: was still giving acceptance speeches. >> it was a surreal moment for sure. at that point it was not about me, it was about making sure "moonlight" got the recognition it really deserves. >> reporter: clearly stunning everyone involved. >> i just didn't -- i didn't even know what to do. i think i needed to hear them say it multiple times and really pull us up. >> it was the craziest moment ever. >> reporter: host jimmy kimmel and so many others have referenced the similarity to the mix-up at the miss universe competition during which steve harvey mistakenly announced the wrong winner. harvey is finding the humor in it tweeting call me, warren beatty, i can help you through this.

reaction among all the journalists and all the reporters sitting in the pressroom as there was on stage. tons of people moving around and so much confusion. we all just had that mouth-dropped open moment. >> pricewaterhouse coopers issued an apology tweet praising what it calls the grace with which the nominees, the academy, abc and jimmy kimmel handled the situation. we've also learned there
