Oscars 2024: Al Pacino’s Chaotic Slip-Up During Best Picture Award Is Honestly Amazing

It’s safe that Al Pacino’s presentation of the night’s most important award is going to go down in history for how short, sweet and unbelievably ‘I don’t give af’ it was.

Rather than announcing the nominees for the award, The Godfather star simply went straight to opening the envelope before saying “my eyes see Oppenheimer.”

Zero suspense, zero build-up, no ‘the Academy Award goes to…’ for the biggest award of the night. Just straight up chaos – and honestly, we love to see it.

For the record, the nominees were: American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall,
Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest and well, Oppenheimer.

Naturally X users (formerly Twitter) were quick to share their takes… and did not disappoint:

Sylvester Stallone Shows Al Pacino How To Take A Selfie And We Can’t Even

Sylvester Stallone shows fellow Hollywood icon Al Pacino how to take a selfie in a new video clip that should reassure Luddites young and old. (Watch it below.)

In a preview of the reality show The Family Stallone, which premiered Wednesday on Paramount+, the two eat pizza and catch up.

Pacino mentions to Stallone that he’s seen his daughters’ podcast, prompting the Rocky star to remark that Pacino is more “tech savvy” than he is.

“Well, I can text. I haven’t been able to take a photo yet,” the Oscar-winning Pacino replies. “My son [Anton] keeps telling me, ‘Send me stuff, Dad. Send me stuff.’ I said, ‘I’ll ask Sly.’”

Stallone calls him a liar as he pulls out his phone and tells the Godfather legend: “This is how it works, see.” Stallone appears to take a photo or two.

The conversation meanders from their gray hair to Stallone, 76, noting that Pacino, 83, is now on The Family Stallone reality show.

“Everything happens if you stay alive,” Pacino said.

The two were spotted last July at a pizza joint in Beverly Hills, California, with cameras rolling.

Maybe by now Pacino has mastered the art of selfie-shooting.
