After Jack Palance presented the academy award to Marisa Tomei in 1993, Rex Reed, an American critic, started a rumour that presenter Jack Palance had erroneously called out the wrong name because he was unable to read the printing on the card inside the envelope, became confused or was too “drunk” or “stoned” to announce the winner properly. By 1997 Reed was espousing on television his claim that a “massive cover-up” was underway to prevent the public from finding out about the mistake.
Bruce Davis, executive director of the academy,issued an official statement: “The legend of Marisa Tomei’s ‘mistaken Oscar’ has appeared in various forms over the years and in that short time has achieved the status of urban myth. There is no more truth to this version than to any of the others we’ve heard. If such a scenario were ever to occur, the Price Waterhouse people backstage would simply step out onstage and point out the error. They are not shy.”
