Wrong winner at the Academy Awards? Should have kept the sealed envelope in a mayonnaise jar on Funk and Wagnall’s porch. Then nobody would know the contents until revealed by Carnac the Magnificent. Would have been a lot more entertaining.

…but I cant’ imagine much less entertaining than even a well-executed Oscar broadcast.
Hence a growing conspiracy theory the faux pas was staged.
