Michelle Williams recalls Busy Philipps telling Ben Affleck to 'do something' during Oscars Best Picture mix-up

Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps look back on the 2017 Oscar mix-up — and Philipps' reaction to ask Ben Affleck to help, because he was Batman.

The longtime close friends — and regular awards show dates — had been on their way out of the ceremony, but they were turned away because the big award was about to be given out, Philipps recalled during a recent conversation the two had on QVC+ HSN+'s Busy This Week. Affleck portrayed the Caped Crusader in multiple films, including 2017's Justice League. La La Land producers were already delivering their acceptance speech when, not Batman or the star of 2016's The Accountant, but Brian Cullinan, an actual accountant for Pricewaterhouse Coopers and Oscar crew members took the stage, too.
