Warren Beatty ain't the first guy to announce the wrong winner during a live TV event -- it also happened to Bruce Buffer at UFC 205 ... and now he's got some advice the Hollywood legend.
Remember, Buffer was incorrectly told Tyron Woodley was the winner during his UFC 205 matchup versus Stephen Thompson ... and announced the wrong information to a live audience.
When Buffer got the right info (the fight was a majority draw) he collected himself and announced the correction.
So, when Buffer saw Beatty's screw up at the Oscars -- he felt his pain and knew right away it WAS NOT Warren's fault.
