Michelle Williams, Busy Philipps Recall 2017 Oscars Best Picture Mixup with Ben Affleck

During the 2017 Oscars Best Picture mix-up, actresses Busy Philipps and Michelle Williams were seated in the front row alongside Ben Affleck, who had portrayed Batman in several films. When Warren Beatty mistakenly announced "La La Land" as the winner instead of the actual Best Picture, "Moonlight," Philipps humorously urged Affleck to "do something" to fix the situation because he was Batman. Both Philipps and Williams recalled the chaos and confusion of the moment, noting that even Affleck was shocked and unable to handle the awkward event despite his superhero status. They also reminisced about a viral photo capturing their stunned reactions during the incident, which they later reenacted on Philipps' show. The actresses provided a behind-the-scenes, lighthearted perspective on one of the most memorable Oscars blunders, highlighting their close friendship and the surreal experience of witnessing the mishap firsthand. Nearby stars, including Matt Damon, were also present but as baffled as the rest of the audience.
