One of the envelopes is a "backup" in case something happens to the other one.

Apparently, he had both the "backup" best actress envelope and one of the two best picture envelopes in his possession. Each accountant has a full set of envelopes at the beginning of the awards ceremony.

He and the other accountant fucked up BIGLY.
