Stephen Fry returned to the stage in order to introduce Felicity Jones, who was presenting the nominees for the Best Supporting Actor award.

Unfortunately, Fry's autocue had a rather amusing typo on it, instructing him to introduce Jones as the star of "Star Wars: Rouge One". A common typo on message boards the world over, perhaps, but on a lavish awards show? That's just embarrassing.

Fry rolled with the punches though, noticing the error a moment before he was meant to read it, and taking a light jab at the production for screwing it up.
