Mr Cullinan mistakenly handed the wrong envelope to the two presenters.
He gave Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway the back-up envelope for best actress in a leading role - rather than the envelope which contained the name of the winner for the best film.
PriceWaterhouseCoopers, which counts the votes and organises the envelopes, has apologised for the mix-up.
Mr Cullinan tweeted a picture of best actress winner Emma Stone minutes before handing the presenters the wrong envelope, and Ms Boone Isaacs blamed "distraction" for the error.
