On Monday night, the stage was set for this year's Academy Awards, and it was actor Al Pacino, 83, who was tasked with handing over the final award.
– terrified
It seems like Pacino was a bit hasty in pulling the trigger, and didn't announce the Best Picture nominees. Choose instead to go straight to the winner.
“Ten great films are nominated, but only one will win Best Picture so I have to look at the envelope,” Pacino said before announcing the winner a short time later.
“My eyes see Oppenheimer,” he said, and the hall filled with applause.
The word “miss” quickly made headlines, and now Pacino found himself forced to explain what happened.
He raises his eyebrows
– I just want to make it clear that my intention was not to omit them, it was a choice by the productions that there was no need to repeat them as they were all recognized individually throughout the ceremony. I was honored to be part of the evening and chose to do so the way they wanted to present this award. Watchman.
– I realize that nomination is a huge milestone in one's life, and not being fully recognized is humiliating and painful. I say this as someone who has a deep connection with filmmakers, actors and producers, so I feel deeply for those who have been marginalized by this censorship and that is why I felt it was necessary to make this statement.
– Hard rocks
Oscar producer Molly McInerney confirms otherwise diverse It was planned not to read the candidates.
– It was a creative decision we made because we were very concerned that the show would be too long […]. I apologize if our decision puts Pacino in a difficult position.
