As the 2024 Oscars came to a close, all eyes were on acting legend Al Pacino as he took the stage to present the award for Best Picture. The audience erupted in applause as the 83-year-old American film star walked out, but viewers couldn't help but notice that he seemed a bit disheveled, as if he had just rolled out of bed.
Clutching the all-important envelope containing the winner, Pacino proceeded to announce the final trophy of the night. However, in an unconventional and anti-climatic fashion, he skipped reading out the nominations and simply declared "Oppenheimer" as the winner. It took a few moments for the room to process what had just happened before director Christopher Nolan and his team took the stage to accept the honor for their film about J Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb.
While Nolan thanked his wife and lead actor Cillian Murphy, it was Pacino's name that ended up trending on social media. Many users questioned if he even knew what was going on, with some joking that he looked like he had just woken up. But others found his presentation style to be refreshingly chaotic and entertaining.
As the night came to an end, Oppenheimer had swept the board and taken home a total of seven Oscars. This was a long-awaited moment for Nolan, who had been in the film industry for over 22 years. Murphy also took home a top prize for his role in the film, and he proudly dedicated it to the peacemakers of the world.
But there were other big winners of the night as well, including Emma Stone for her performance in Poor Things, which landed her a second Best Actress trophy. However, Stone revealed that she was battling a wardrobe malfunction on stage, which she jokingly blamed on Ryan Gosling's performance of the Barbie song "I'm Just Ken."
As the ceremony came to an end, viewers couldn't help but discuss who they thought was snubbed at this year's Oscars. But regardless of any perceived snubs, it was clear that the night belonged to Oppenheimer and its talented cast and crew. And as the audience and viewers alike reflected on the eventful evening, they couldn't help but agree that Al Pacino's chaotic and confusing presentation of the Best Picture award was the perfect ending to a truly memorable ceremony.
It was a night to remember at the 2024 Oscars, as legendary actor Al Pacino took the stage to present the biggest award of the evening - Best Picture. As the audience erupted in cheers, it was clear that everyone was eagerly anticipating this moment.
However, as Pacino stepped onto the stage, he seemed to have just rolled out of bed. Despite this, he confidently held the envelope containing the name of the winner, among the nominees Oppenheimer, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, and Past Lives.
Without much fanfare, Pacino announced the winner, Oppenheimer. The room took a few moments to process what had just happened before director Christopher Nolan and his team rushed to the stage to accept their trophy.
Although Nolan and his team were the ones to take home the award, it was Pacino's name that ended up trending on social media. Many viewers were left wondering if the 83-year-old actor was even aware of what was happening.
Despite the confusion, some viewers found Pacino's unconventional way of announcing the winner to be the perfect ending to the ceremony. One user even joked that Pacino's presentation was the "ideal award presenter" because it was so unexpected.
Oppenheimer was the big winner of the night, taking home a total of seven Oscars. The film, starring Cillian Murphy, Florence Pugh, and Emily Blunt, tells the story of theoretical physicist J Robert Oppenheimer and his role in creating the atomic bomb.
