Al Pacino’s Oscars blunder sparks theories.
Last night’s Oscars took a bizarre turn as Al Pacino overturned tradition.
Al Pacino’s odd behaviour!
The legendary Godfather actor, skipped reading Best Picture nominees, causing an uproar.
The audience expected a rundown of nominees, but Pacino, at 83, rushed to open the final envelope, declaring Oppenheimer the winner.
Pacino, central to The Godfather trilogy, played Michael Corleone, leaving fans questioning his peculiar Oscar behavior.
Class-acts at the Oscars!
The Best Actor award went to Cillian Murphy for Oppenheimer.
Christopher Nolan secured Best Director.
Best Actor contenders featured Bradley Cooper, Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti, Cillian Murphy (the eventual winner), and Jeffrey Wright.
Best Director nominees included Justine Triet for Anatomy of a Fall, Martin Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon, and Christopher Nolan for Oppenheimer.
Best Actress showcased Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Huller, Carey Mulligan, and Emma Stone, who clinched the award for Poor Things.
Best Supporting Actress nominees included Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera, Jodie Foster, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who secured the win.
A night of entertainment!
Ryan Gosling added a touch of humor, performing ‘I’m just Ken’ in all pink, bringing a light-hearted moment to the star-studded evening.
More excitement came in the form of John Cena who crashed the stage, naked.
He presented the award for Best Costume Design in a funny and surprising moment.
Jimmy Kimmel’s controversial comments!
Jimmy Kimmel also gained attention for his controversial comments.
During the event, he playfully poked fun at Robert Downey Jr.’s previous challenges and Emma Stone’s daring scenes in Poor Things.
The iconic actor’s turbulent history has been marked by substance abuse, including arrests, time spent in jail, and battles with addiction.
After years of rehab, legal troubles, and relapses, Downey Jr. made a triumphant comeback securing the Best Supporting Actor award for Oppenheimer.
His expression remained unyielding even in the face of a tasteless joke about his past struggles with addiction and the unconventional structure of his “acceptance speech.”
Back to Al Pacino’s dramatic blunder!
At the 2024 Oscars Ceremony and Al Pacino was set to announce the winner of Best Picture.
Pacino’s appeared tense as he carefully pulled out the winning card.
Skipping past the nominee list, he announced Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer as the Best Picture winner.
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.
One of the films he failed to mention was Barbie.
He also neglected to recognise The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest.
As the night unfolded, the unexpected twist in Al Pacino’s announcement lingered, leaving viewers questioning whether it was a deliberate move or a simple oversight.
Fans were left baffled as the ceremony emphasized nominees until that point, making this the most anti-climactic Oscar moment ever.
Social media erupts with theories.
One user speculated, “The Academy’s choice of Pacino was a middle finger to Barbie,” referencing a Godfather mockery scene.
Another suggested the move was a deliberate snub, saying, “It’s hard not to see it as anything other than a MIDDLE FINGER to Barbie.”
Some expressed disappointment over Barbie not winning, envisioning the hilarity of Pacino presenting after a Godfather joke in the movie.
Whether a subtle nod to a Barbie mockery or a forgetful moment, the mystery behind Pacino’s actions adds an intriguing layer to the Oscars buzz.
As the Oscars curtain falls, the buzz surrounding Pacino’s moment will echo through headlines, reminding us that in Hollywood, even the unexpected steals the show…
