[Denver]

The two people being blamed for Sunday's embarrassing Oscars Fail definitely won't be getting an invite to next year's ceremony.

Three days after Best Picture was mistakenly given to La La LandLa La Land rather than actual winner Moonlight, Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs confirmed to The AP that Brian Cullinan and Martha Ruiz - who both represented Oscars accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers - will never work for the Oscars again.

Boone also said that The Academy is still evaluating whether it will continue its business relationship with PricewaterhouseCoopers, despite partnering on the Oscars for the last 83 years.

PricewaterhouseCoopers has blamed the fiasco on "human error", explaining earlier this week that its representatives were responsible for both the actual winners' envelopes as well as a back-up pile.

As Beatty – the night's final presenter – entered the Oscars stage, he was accidentally handed a Best Actress envelope from that back-up pile by accountant Brian Cullinan instead of the one meant for Best Picture.

The fallout has been tumultuous for The Academy over the last several days as it faces criticism from all sides. A public apology from the Oscars organiser released late Monday has done little to quiet the controversy.

"We apologise to the entire cast and crew of La La Land and Moonlight, whose experience was profoundly altered by this error," the Academy said in its statement.

"We salute the tremendous grace they displayed under the circumstances. To all involved — including our presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, the filmmakers, and our fans watching worldwide — we apologise.

One person unsatisfied by the apology was Warren Beatty, who along with Bonnie and Clyde co-star Faye Dunaway erroneously announced La La Land as 2017's Best Picture.

"Rather than for me to respond to questions from the press about the Academy ceremony, I feel it would be more appropriate for the president of the Academy, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, to publicly clarify what happened as soon as possible," Beatty said in his own statement.

On top of the Best Picture mess, The Academy also publicly apologised on Wednesday for accidentally including a photo of the very-much-alive Australian film producer Jan Chapman instead of late costume designer Janet Patterson.
