 America loves a second chance story. 
 
 And we're in store for the ultimate redemption story on Sunday's Oscars with the news, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter and TMZ, that Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway will present the final Academy Award. 
 
 The happy drama will finally close the circle of last year's still-unbelievable Oscar disaster in which Beatty received the wrong envelope to present the final best picture award with Dunaway. 
 
 What followed was unprecedented live TV chaos as La La Land was proclaimed the winner before the mistake was corrected on stage and the Oscar given to the rightful winner, Moonlight. Black-tie bedlam played out in front of the world's viewing population.

 Bringing back the Bonnie and Clyde stars for a presenting redux will give this episode the kind of fantastic Hollywood ending no one could have ever imagined following the hair-pulling that took place a year ago. 
 
 During that time the Academy has taken steps to ensure that this very avoidable mistake will never happen again — by replacing the two accountants responsible for handing Beatty the wrong envelope and adding a third set of eyes to fully prevent another miscue.

 As important, the famously-uptight Academy has embraced last year's amazing gaffe. Host Jimmy Kimmel is getting a new chance at presenting after he hosted a great 2017 show, forgotten in the wake of the ending mayhem. 
 
 Kimmel has even laughed that he wants another envelope snafu this year to pull in the viewers. 
 
 The Academy has implemented the cheeky slogan "What could possibly go wrong?" in Kimmel's advertising spots (featuring Beatty) and on the official Oscar poster. 
 
 The show producers Jennifer Todd and Michael De Luca are back as well for a second Oscar try after dealing with a mistake that was out of their hands. 
 
 With the fixes in place, they're using last year's show to remind people that Academy Awards can be the ultimate source of history unfolding on live TV. 
 
 "Obviously mistakes happen," Todd tells USA TODAY about the humorous look back to last year. "We’re not curing cancer. We’re entertaining people. And look, it’s live TV. And we don’t know what’s going to happen this Sunday night. Mike and I learned that the last time. We were hoping for that unexpected moment. And we really got one."

 Beatty's return is especially right The 80-year-old star was the immediate and incorrect scapegoat for 2017's ballot mess as Kimmel came onstage and proclaimed "Warren, what have you done?" 
 
 Beatty was masterful and poised in a situation you could never prepare for. He held onto that envelope, refused to let it out of his hands — his proof of Envelopegate innocence. He has been nothing but class in the aftermath of the exoneration that followed. 
 
 Now it's time for some celebration and laughter one year later, with Beatty and Dunaway triumphantly striding out on the Oscar stage with that right envelope. 
 
 We can't wait for Sunday night to know exactly how it will play out. But you can bet on a few things — a crowd full of Hollywood's biggest stars are going to rise to their feet and the right kind of history is going to made.

 TMZ reported on Thursday that Bonnie and Clyde co-stars Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway will present the Academy Award for Best Picture on Sunday even though last year they were involved in a blunder so colossal as to be previously unimaginable, an error that made celebrities with hours of media training under their belts do stuff like this with their faces: 
 
 As we all know, these stricken visages were contorting in reaction to Dunaway reading out that the Oscar went to La La Land, then learning that Moonlight was actually the winner. This was due to a mix-up with the cards and general lack of common sense. And maybe some stage jitters. 
 
 According to TMZ’s sources, Dunaway and Beatty appeared at the Dolby Theatre earlier today and rehearsed the best picture award scene. Dunaway reportedly said “presenting is better the second time around,” to which Beatty rejoined “The winner is Gone with the Wind.” It’s the sort of writing that makes people cringe and have a bad time, and this, more than anything else, is what has me convinced me that this story is genuine.
– Some said it was nothing more than "masochistic nostalgia," while others predicted it was going to provide the "ultimate Hollywood ending." That would be Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty making a repeat appearance Sunday night to present the award for best picture—after famously announcing the wrong winner last year—with host Jimmy Kimmel introducing them with a "nothing could possibly go wrong." "It's so nice seeing you again," Beatty quipped, with Dunaway adding, "As they say, presenting is lovelier the second time around." And the top prize went to ... The Shape of Water, with director Guillermo Del Toro, who also won best director Sunday night, accepting the prize with his cast and team. "I was a kid enamored with movies," he said. "Growing up in Mexico, I thought this could never happen. It happens. I want to tell you, everyone that is dreaming of a parable of using genre fantasy to tell the stories about the things that are real in the world today, you can do it. This is a door—kick it open and come in."
