Al Pacino's Off-Kilter Best Picture Announcement Sparks Confusion At Oscars
HuffPost
The actor skipped a typical practice for presenters in a bizarre move at the award show.
Al Pacino took an unusual approach by missing one key step before he named “Oppenheimer” as the Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards on Sunday.
The actor, who presented the last award at the ceremony, noted that “10 wonderful films” were up for the Oscar but didn’t name any of the nominated films as he skipped a typical practice for presenters.
“Only one will take the award for Best Picture and I have to go to the envelope for that and I will. Here it comes,” said Pacino as he opened his envelope and read from a card.
“And my eyes see ‘Oppenheimer.’”
The flub sparked mixed reactions from social media users, who noted that both Pacino and those who worked on the Best Picture winner appeared confused.
