HuffPost
The pup-ular animal from the Best Picture nominee appeared to sit among the stars at the award show's broadcast.
Messi, the canine star of “Anatomy of a Fall,” stole social media users’ hearts as he was filmed sitting like a good boy at Sunday’s Academy Awards.
The seven-year-old border collie –– who plays the role of Snoop in the Oscar-nominated French legal drama –– wasn’t expected to attend. But he appeared during the broadcast on several occasions during the broadcast.
(Those cameos may have been pre-recorded. HuffPost has reached out to the academy to confirm; we’ll update if we hear back.)
Messi, nonetheless, got a shoutout from host Jimmy Kimmel during the show’s opening monologue.
“Messi, even though he’s a dog, may have given the performance of the year in ‘Anatomy of a Fall,’” said Kimmel, who later referred to a key scene in the Best Picture-nominated film.
