"We ... have two sets of ballots - Brian will have one complete set and I'll have another. The envelopes are kept locked up in an undisclosed location.
"On the day of the show, we'll get the ballots and Brian and I will go to the theater on two separate roads. He'll go one route and I'll go another route. We do that to ensure that in case anything happens to one, (the other) will be there on time and delivering what's needed with the full set.
"We also have security -- LAPD -- with us at all times. They're securing not us, but what's in the briefcase that we're holding in our hands. That's very clear to us!
"So we do have security measures up until we're at the theatre and delivering that envelope to the presenter, just seconds before they walk on stage.
"We'll be in two different locations. Brian will be on stage right, and I'll be on stage left."
"We sincerely apologize to 'Moonlight,' 'La La Land,' Warren Beatty, Faye Dunaway, and Oscar viewers for the error that was made during the award announcement for Best Picture," said a statement from PricewaterhouseCoopers, issued early Monday through the Academy. "The presenters had mistakenly been given the wrong category envelope...We are currently investigating how this could have happened, and deeply regret that this occurred."
