Leonardo Di Caprio, having finally won Best Actor last year, was back on stage here to present Best Actress, which went to Emma Stone.
Viewers noted that meant he had the offending envelope in his hand, theorising that he then put it down for Beatty to pick up. This could've been an innocent mistake, or as others suggest, revenge on the Academy for all the years of his performances being overlooked.
