I think the most obvious would be to have different color envelopes for the backups. Looks like both sets were red. Make the originals red and backups green. That way they could spot a mixup right away.

Just tell the award presenters who the winner is, just before they go on stage.

I haven't seen any of the movies, but watched for Jimmy Kimmel. It was a pretty mellow awards ceremony. I don't believe the back and forth with him and Ben Afflac is over, just a pause. Everyone is enjoying it too much.

I was surprised there wasn't more political content, but then it was a bit of a relief.

And please, check the front of the card. I really felt for the people who thought they'd won and then... oops.
