The Oscars' In Memoriam Section Included a Living Woman's Picture
Yes, everyone's talking about the the big mixup at the 2017 Academy Awards, where the wrong Best Picture winner was initially declared, but did you catch the other gaffe?
During the Oscars' In Memoriam segment—which honors those in the movie industry who left us in the last year or so—a photo of a living, breathing woman was used.
Janet Patterson, the Australian costume designer and four-time Oscar nominee known for her work in films like The Piano and Portrait of a Lady, did pass away in October 2015. And while her name and occupation were correctly featured, a photo of Jan Chapman (see above), a well-known Australian producer, was used.
