Poll: Who's to Blame for the Oscar Envelope Mix-Up?

A poll by leavey-2
Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway had to present the last award at the 89th Annual Academy Awards, the Oscar for best picture. However, instead of the envelope for best picture, they were given a second envelope for lead actress, which was won by Emma Stone of 'La La Land', causing Dunaway to announce that 'La La Land' had won best picture, instead of 'Moonlight'.

Who's to blame for one of the most epic mix-ups in the history of the Academy Awards?
