Sammy Davis Jr Oscar Envelope Mix-Up History

This has been circulating all over the internet today. It turns out Sunday night’s envelope mix-up was not the first in Academy Awards history. Watch as Sammy Davis Jr. is handed an envelope for a different category than the one announced. Nobody fielded the foul ball on Sunday as well as Davis does here. I am also inclined to share it because of the staggering talent of the nominees for Best Original Score. I don’t think the time will ever come again. Truly, this was an era when giants walked the earth.
