Foxx was onstage with actress Lily James to announce the nominees and victor of the Best Original Score statuette. I take full responsibility. “It’s right here on the card”, before he pretended to leave the stage. It’s right here on the card. I apologize to everyone in Compton.

Last month, Harvey took heat for announcing the wrong winner of the 2015 Miss Universe competition – Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez, over the actual victor, Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach.

“This young lady never asked me for money”.
