The Academy has vowed to take measures to avoid a mix up like the once that happened with Moonlight again.

The president of the film academy has sent an email to its members telling them they have much to be proud of after this year’s Oscars ceremony. And she reassures them changes will be made to avoid a repeat of the botched best-picture announcement that ended the show.

In it, President Cheryl Boone Isaacs gives a bullet-pointed list of things she says Academy members have to be proud of.

They include the Jimmy Kimmel’s “impeccable” hosting job and the “electric opening number” from Justin Timberlake.

She says the organization should be most proud of the grace and humility of everyone affected by the best-picture mess, including the filmmakers behind La La Land and Moonlight.
