The 2017 Oscars mix-up wasn’t just human error—it was a design failure. The winner’s card was poorly structured, with the category name (Best Actress) in tiny print at the bottom, making it easy to misread. Under pressure, Warren Beatty hesitated, and Faye Dunaway misread the card, announcing La La Land instead of Moonlight.
Good typography isn’t just about looking nice—it’s about making information clear and easy to read. If the card had been designed better, the mistake could have been avoided. The lesson? Design matters, even at the Oscars.
