Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty are returning to the Oscars, despite last year's Best Picture mix-up

After the envelopes for Best Actress and Best Picture got mixed up at the crucial moment during last year's Academy Awards, and caused one of the biggest gaffes in Oscars history, Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty were thrown into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. 

They will, however, be returning to Hollywood's Dolby Theatre to make amends at the 2018 awards on Sunday, when they will be presenting the winner of the Best Picture category once again. 

Website TMZ reports that the Bonnie and Clyde stars were rehearsing the reveal this week, and went through their lines twice. Reports suggest the pair are folding last year's snafu into their script, with Dunaway starting: "Presenting is better the second time around," before Beatty followed up with, "The winner is 'Gone with the Wind.'"

The Academy has been less forgiving, however, of Brian Cullinan and Martha Ruiz, the PriceWaterhouseCoopers partners who have counted the votes and managed the envelopes containing the winners' names for years.

Both have been replaced ahead of this year's role, and the accountancy company has also installed a third balloting partner to sit with Oscar producers in the show's control room. Furthermore, Tim Ryan, the company's US chairman, said he would be personally involved with the Oscars this year.
