Harvey offers advice to Beatty

American TV presenter Steve Harvey has urged Warren Beatty to call him following Sunday night’s epic Oscars blunder which saw the wrong winner being announced on stage.

Dick Tracy star Beatty and his Bonnie And Clyde co-star Faye Dunaway were embroiled in an embarrassing moment that will go down in Academy Awards history as they called out La La Land as the winner of the best picture category, when in fact Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight had won.

Harvey offered up his advice as he tweeted following the event, having been at the centre of a similar furore in 2015.

While hosting the finale of the Miss Universe pageant, Harvey mistakenly announced that Miss Colombia was the winner, when in fact Miss Philippines had won.

Responding to the Oscars moment, Harvey tweeted: “Call me Warren Beatty. I can help you get through this! #Oscars.”

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel also referenced Harvey as he closed the ceremony, saying: “Personally I blame Steve Harvey for this.”
