Back to Al Pacino’s announcement!
It appears Pacino’s focus during the announcement was avoiding any slip-ups in revealing the victor, a concern that intensified as he carefully pulled out the winning card.
So, what did he do that was so controversial?
He bypassed the nominee list and directly announcing Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer as the Best Picture winner.
Oppenheimer dominated the evening, scoring a total of seven Oscars, including Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, and Best Film Editing.
Perhaps pressed for time, Pacino skipped naming the plethora of nominees, prompting the need to unravel the mystery of who lost out to the acclaimed film.

Al Pacino’s departure from the norm, while bewildering, contributed an unexpected twist that resonated with viewers, making the 2024 Oscars a night to remember.
The peculiar announcement didn’t overshadow Nolan’s achievement, marking a milestone in his illustrious career with a well-deserved Best Director accolade.
Viewers of the Oscars react!
Social media erupted with reactions, describing Pacino’s unconventional approach as chaotic, confusing, and oddly hilarious.
“I’m obsessed with the way Al Pacino announced Oppenheimer as Best Picture. Couldn’t have been more chaotic or confusing lol,” one user quipped.
Another user humorously added, “Al Pacino announced Best Picture like this was the first time he had ever heard of a film called Oppenheimer.”
“Al Pacino gives the most anti-climactic Oscar win ever lmaoo,” echoed a sentiment shared by many.
Amid the online frenzy, speculations arose, with one user questioning, “Did Al Pacino just mess up the biggest category of the evening???”
Yet, considering the potential for disaster, some concluded that things could have gone worse, injecting a note of relief into the post-Oscar chatter.
Despite the unconventional announcement by Pacino, the cast and crew of Oppenheimer are likely to find solace in their newfound Oscar glory…
