Al Pacino blames Oscars producers for THAT bizarre Best Picture announcement - after actor sparked mass confusion by missing out nominees before Oppenheimer win
Al Pacino has blamed the 2024 Oscars' producers for his bizarre Best Picture winner announcement on Sunday - which saw the star fail to name the nominees.
The Oscar winner, 83, left audiences stunned when he announced the coveted Best Picture winner as Oppenheimer - but failed to read out fellow nominees Barbie,
American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon and Maestro.
Announcing the biggest award of the night, Al Pacino said: 'Ten wonderful films are nominated, but 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. And my eyes see Oppenheimer, yes!'
Speaking to TMZ, the Scent of a Woman star said producers chose to nix listing the nominees as they had been 'highlighted individually' throughout the night.
He said: 'There seems to be some controversy about my not mentioning every film by name last night before announcing the Best Picture award.
Oscars fans are convinced Al Pacino's bizarre Best Picture announcement for Oppenheimer has a hidden meaning after he failed to read out the list of nominees

'I just want to be clear it was not my intention to omit them, rather a choice by the producers not to have them said again since they were highlighted individually throughout the ceremony.
'I was honored to be a part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wished for this award to be presented."
'I realize being nominated is a huge milestone in one’s life and to not be fully recognized is offensive and hurtful.
' I say this as someone who profoundly relates with filmmakers, actors and producers so I deeply empathize with those who have been slighted by this oversight and it’s why I felt it necessary to make this statement.'
Social media was buzzing with posts about the awkward end to the show as one commented that Pacino's announcement 'couldn't have been more chaotic or confusing.'
Oppenheimer walked away the biggest winner from the star-studded night, bagging seven awards total including huge wins for Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, and Christopher Nolan.
The blockbuster hit nabbed awards for Best Picture, Best Director (Christopher Nolan), Original Score, Actor in a Leading Role (Cillian Murphy), Actor in a Supporting Role (Robert Downey Jr), Cinematography and Achievement in Film Editing.
Barbie received a staggering nine nominations at the award show, but went home with only one Oscar for Original Song, What Was I Made For?' by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell
Meanwhile Emma Stone led Poor Things to an impressive four including her Best Actress win and UK film The Zone Of Interest won two at the gala event held at The Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California.
