The Academy Awards will maintain its relationship with accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers despite last month's historic blunder that saw La La Land incorrectly awarded Best Picture.

After a marathon meeting to dissect what went wrong during the 89th Oscars, the Academy's board of governors voted to keep PwC on board as the award night's independent scrutineers.

The Oscars dumped PwC partners Martha Ruiz and Brian Cullinan earlier this month following the best picture snafu. The pair will be replaced with fresh faces for Hollywood's next night of nights.

"After a thorough review, including an extensive presentation of revised protocols and ambitious controls, the Board has decided to continue working with PwC," Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs wrote in a letter to Academy members on Wednesday.
