Recent Oscar winner Sarah Polley has revealed her huge shock on Saturday morning at receiving a letter saying she had won her award in error, and she needed to mail it back to the Academy.
The Canadian filmmaker, who won best adapted screenplay for Women Talking last month, was told:
“We say this to you with the deepest regrets: the Oscar you received was given by mistake.”
The letter asked her to “mail it back” to California, saying she could keep the award for one more week so she could “enjoy its presence” in her home, before it went to the “rightful winner All Quiet on the Western Front.”
The letter stated that organisers had realised their error on the night, but were keen to avoid another La La Land/Moonlight blunder in front of the cameras.
And then… Polley discovered that the letter had not come from the Academy, but from her 11-year-old child, in an extremely effective April Fool’s prank.
As Polley said in the letter she shared on Twitter yesterday, her child “swung long” this year…

Katie Reul editor Michael Che, co-anchor of “Weekend Update,” played a prank on fellow host Colin Jost on the April Fool’s day episode of “Saturday Night Live.” The segment kicked off as normal, with Jost delivering piercing commentary about former president Donald Trump’s indictment by a grand jury on Mar. 30. But as Jost levied each jab, his jokes were received with timid chuckles. After Jost concluded his portion of the banter, Che made another joke about the ex-president that resulted in uproarious laughter. Dismayed but not deterred, Jost pressed on with another joke. Following the punchline, an audience member shouted, “You stink!” which caused Jost’s head to immediately fall into his hands. No longer able to keep it together, Che erupted into laughter alongside the viewers, explaining to Jost he told the audience not to laugh at him as an April Fool’s Day prank.
