Steve Harvey just woke up and he wants to know what happened during the Oscars

2025-04-27 23:30:08admin

As you probably know by now, a monumental mistake occurred at the end of the Oscars on Sunday night and everyone mentioned Steve Harvey.

La La Land was mistakenly announced as winner of Best Picture, the result of presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty having been given the wrong envelope. The whole thing was very similar to the 2015 debacle in which Harvey crowned the wrong Miss Universe. He incorrectly proclaimed Miss Columbia as the winner when in fact Miss Philippines had been printed on the card. Harvey had to then awkwardly get back on the microphone and correct his own mistake.

Thanks to that, Harvey has become the whoopsie poster child for mistaken announcements on very public stages. And the internet was quick to bring it up again.

Even the official Miss Universe Twitter account immediately felt the kinship and voiced their support in a mic-drop worthy tweet.

What does Steve Harvey think about all of this renewed attention? He of course had nothing to do with the Oscars mistake, and yet he's become the butt of so many jokes in its aftermath that it feels like he has almost become half-responsible for it.

So he decided to make a casual little joke about it this morning.
