17

It's considered the biggest snafu in Academy Award show history - a wrong envelope resulting in the wrong film being named "Best Picture" during this year's Oscars telecast. Vanity Fair Hollywood correspondent Rebecca Keegan talks to NPC Broadcast/Podcast Committee Member Veronica Vaquer about what it was like to cover the unfolding story backstage. This was Keegan's 11th time covering the Oscars. She also discusses the reality of doing A-List celebrity profiles and what it's like to co-write a book with iconic film director, comedian, writer, and actor Mel Brooks.
