On Sunday night (Dec. 20), the entire internet cringed endlessly for Steve Harvey, who hosted the annual Miss Universe pageant¹ in Las Vegas. Harvey misread his notecard and accidentally announced Ariadna Gutierrez-Arévalo, Miss Colombia, as the show's winner -- but the real winner was Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, Miss Philippines. Oops?

美国当地时间12月20日晚，一年一度的环球小姐决赛在拉斯维加斯落幕，主持人史蒂夫·哈维闹了个大乌龙，让网上炸开了锅。哈维竟读错手卡，将桂冠错颁给了哥伦比亚小姐阿丽阿德娜·古铁雷兹-阿雷瓦洛，而真正的冠军佳丽，菲律宾小姐匹娅·阿隆佐·渥茲巴赫却被晾在一边!

Gutierrez-Arévalo, who was actually the first runner-up, was already crowned and holding a congratulatory bouquet² of flowers by the time Harvey realized his mistake. He promptly³ backtracked, saying, "I have to apologize. The first runner-up is Colombia." The crowd erupted in cheers, and Twitter freaked out under the trending #MissUniverse2015 hashtag.

It took a few moments before Miss Philippines, who had moved out of Miss Colombia's spotlight⁴ to the side of the stage, realized what this statement meant for her. Miss USA, the second runner-up, is seen whispering something to her, and then it finally clicks. The wrong person was crowned.

"Miss Universe 2015 is Philippines," Harvey continued, showing his notecard to the cameras as proof. It was a genuine mistake -- hey, humans aren't perfect -- and it was captured forever on live TV.

Wurtzbach, stunned⁵, moved to the front of the stage, where the crown was removed from Miss Colombia's head and placed on Miss Philippines'. Awwwwkward.

The Miss Universe organization released an official statement following the pageant: "The excitement of live TV was evident tonight on The Miss Universe stage with over 10 million live fan votes tabulated⁶. Unfortunately, a live telecast means that human error can come into play. We witnessed that tonight when the wrong winner was initially⁷ announced. Our sincerest apologies to Miss Universe Colombia 2015, Ariadna Gutierrez-Arévalo, Miss Universe Philippines 2015, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, their families and fans."

Harvey also apologized for his error on Twitter -- but he messed up again, Fox News reports. He tweeted, "I want to apologize emphatically to Miss Philippians and Miss Columbia. This was a terribly honest human mistake and I am so regretful."
