"La La Land", which took home six trophies including best director and actress, was incorrectly declared the winner by veteran actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
Harvey, who had committed a similar gaffe when he hosted the Miss Universe Pageant in 2015, said he felt like he was "finally off the hook" when "La La Land" producer Jordan Horowitz realised the mistake.
"I was watching live and I probably knew what had happened before anybody else 'cause I saw the panic-stricken look on the producer's face. When he walked out there and snatched that card out of Warren's hand, that's when I knew redemption was mine.
Harvey said the Oscar mistake for which an accountant from auditing firm Pricewaterhouse Cooper was found guilty, was nothing as compared to his goof-up as he had received death threats for it.
