The Oscar flub heard round the world may have happened because of a tweet, reports say.

A PricewaterhouseCoopers spokesperson confirmed to The Huffington Post that Brian Cullinan, a managing partner at PwC, was responsible for handing Warren Beatty the wrong envelope, which led to the Best Picture winner debacle.

Three minutes before the envelope was handed off , Cullinan tweeted out a photo of Emma Stone with her new Oscar.

Cullinan shared the since-deleted tweet at 9:05 p.m. PT Beatty and co-presenter Faye Dunaway would take the stage to present Best Picture at 9:08pm PST.
