The envelope, please... gimme that

After the awkwardness at this year's Academy Awards... the notion of card in an envelope being the wrong card or wrong envelope from a group started to tweak my interest. How much work is there around doing material with small envelopes with cards inside? Change envelopes with business cards?

Au courant - red envelopes with white cards inside announcing this show's selected card?

The moment on the show which triggered me was watching the PWC guy snatch a card out of Warren Beatty's hand to show the text and announce best picture. That deserves some comic callbacks with more red envelopes and nonsense text :) .

Just another TV watching moment where you might be looking for Rod Serling in the background smoking a cigarette as he's about to say "submitted for your approval..."

Just a minor point of correction.

The gentleman that snatched the card out of Beatty's hand was not a representative from PWC, but one of the producers for La La Land... He was the same person that announced that the other picture had one.. "No joke.. You guys won"
