In an interview with NBC Nightly News' Lester Holt the actress finally broke her silence and recalled being "completely stunned" by the mix-up, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"I won't say deers in the headlight, but (we were) completely stunned. (We didn't) know what was happening. I was very guilty, I could have done something surely. Why didn't I see Emma Stone's name on the top of the card?" Dunaway said.
At the February ceremony, Dunaway and Beatty reunited to mark the 50th anniversary of "Bonnie and Clyde" and to bestow the evening's biggest prize. The duo, however, were handed the wrong envelope and they mistakenly announced "La La Land" as the best picture winner instead of "Moonlight".
The confusion was cleared up moments later when the "La La Land" producers were informed they had lost, prompting both movies' casts and crews to awkwardly crowd the stage.
