NOT only have two PricewaterhouseCoopers accountants been banned from the Oscars for their epic blunder, they’re now getting death threats.
Brian Cullinan and Martha Ruiz, who were behind the Best Picture stuff-up at the Academy Awards, have been assigned bodyguards after their personal information was posted online, NBC News reports.
Some of the social media threats included, “You f****** idiot, i will f*** you every day” ... and “I hope you get fired and get cancer.”
Sources told TMZ that PwC execs became worried when pictures of Ms Ruiz’s and Mr Cullinan’s homes surfaced online.
PwC told NBC News it was providing security to protect Ms Ruiz and Mr Cullinan, who remain with the company and “are not going anywhere”.

Although their employer is sticking by the accountants, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is not.
Cheryl Boone Isaacs told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Ms Ruiz and Mr Cullinan have been permanently removed from all academy activities. She said they will never work at the Oscars again.
She also said the Academy was reviewing its relationship with PwC, which has been responsible for counting and safeguarding the Oscar results for 83 years.

The PwC accountants were responsible for the winners’ envelopes at the Oscars.
Mr Cullinan tweeted a photo of Emma Stone from backstage minutes before handing presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway the wrong envelope for best picture. Ms Boone Isaacs said Cullinan’s distraction caused the error.
According to People magazine, Mr Cullinan defied orders not to tweet during the ceremony.
“Brian was asked not to tweet or use social media during the show,’’ a source said told People.
“He was fine to tweet before he arrived at the red carpet, but once he was under the auspices of the Oscar-night job, that was to be his only focus.’’
La La Land producer Fred Berger speaks at the microphone as production staff and representatives from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Martha L. Ruiz and Brian Cullinan, consult behind him regarding a presentation error of the Best Picture award. Picture: GettySource:Getty Images
Mr Cullinan has copped most of the blame for the incident after he was named and shamed by PricewaterhouseCoopers’ US Chairman, Tim Ryan, in a statement earlier in the week.
“At the end of the day, we made a human error,” Ryan told USA Today.
“We made a mistake. What happened was, our partner on the left side of the stage, Brian Cullinan, he handed the wrong envelope to Warren Beatty. And then the second we realised that, we notified the appropriate parties and corrected the mistake.”

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel joked about the debacle on his talk show, saying: “Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway — it was the 50th anniversary of Bonnie and Clyde, and they played Bonnie and Clyde, so the academy asked them to present best picture.
“In retrospect now, what we know is what Warren did is, he was confused, so he handed it to Faye and let her read it. In other words, Clyde threw Bonnie under the bus.”
Kimmel also praised the La La Land crew for the way they handled the epic blunder on the night.
“The producers of La La Land were very gracious, which they did not have to be, onstage and off,” the comedian said.
“They were very nice. They handled it well. It was a very amicable custody arrangement — they didn’t ask for visitation or anything.”
Jimmy Kimmel SLAYS the 2017 Oscars2:35
Jimmy Kimmel is one of the kings of late night TV and now he is the KING of the Oscars! This man singlehandedly kicked the Oscars Ass, and in a good way! Now, I was skeptical about him at first, would he try too hard and his jokes would flop, would he be as epic and history making as Ellen DeGeneres was in 2014, would he even show up for the event?? Okay, so the last one is a no brainer, of course he would show up, but you know what I mean! So, Jimmy Kimmel literally made dreams come true at last night?s Oscars! He took a tour bus full of well tourists and tricked them into coming into the 89 th Academy Awards! They all though they were going to the Wax Museum but in reality they were heading into the BIGGEST, most star studded event of all time! And their reactions were priceless. Really people? can?t you just put your phone down for a second and absorb all the star power and money that is right in front of your FACE!!! It?s on TV, it is going down in history, personally I?d be all over Ryan Gosling and Denzel? just sayin? Then like James Corden did at the Grammys with his carpool karaoke, Kimmel took something from his own late night TV show and incorporated it into the Oscars?.Mean Tweets, Oscars Edition. One mean tweeter even went on to say of Gosling?s co-star in LaLa Land? ?Emma Stone looks like a crackwhore in every role she plays! And my all time favorite? ?Samuel L. Jackson looks like he has resting fart face!? and he said, I DO!!!! This is freakin hysterical, I LOVE IT!!! Okay, so the greatness of Jimmy?s hosting doesn?t end there, he made candy, cookies and all sorts of sweet treats fall from the sky? He had is own TV show assistant Guierllmo help him out during the Oscars, he shamelessly made countless jabs at President Trump AND Meryl Streep! Kimmel even threw his good buddy Matt Damon under the bus numerous times! The Best part about their little beef with one another, during Damon?s presentation of Best Original Screenplay, Kimmel did not acknowledge him as he walked out with Ben Affleck, he was simply referred to as guest, and every time Damon went to speak, he was played off by the orchestra and could barely get through any of his presentation? of course Kimmel was down in the pit directing the orchestra! Yes, you guys, this really happened and it was AWESOMEE!!!!! This year?s Oscars were definitely way more fun than any Oscars to date, but I want to hear what you think. Were you impressed with Kimmel, did this year?s award show keep you hooked or were you in bed by 8 and totally not into it??? Shout it out in the comments below!
