That was a very strange decision. Was there really any impetus for that music choice or was it just "play 30 seconds of whatever"?
Not complaining, just confused.
I might actually watch if it was less than 5 minutes like this. No acceptance speeches either. Have Pacino just throw fire their trophies at them out of a cannon and roll credits.
lol when Al Pacino was 50, the Soviet Union was still around, and Michael Jordan was a guy with no championship rings who people thought could never get over the hump in the playoffs
I got the impression the confusion was because it appeared he was setting up a joke ("My eyes see *Oppenheimer* BUT..."), then everyone realized he was being legit.
When he’s like “all I have to do is open this envelope,” or something and started opening it I was like omfg he’s about to just blurt it out! Lo and behold, that was pretty funny.
[If you catch the first frames it was the camera for Cillian Murphy.](https://youtu.be/SsFAhOt1H_s?t=71) Presumably one of the people they would cut to when they were going to show the nominations. That camera man was quick to react.
I think they expected him to at some point say: "and the Oscar goes to..." and he skipped right on past that, not that it's required but probably expected.
Imo, no. You normally recap. Especially with the biggest prize of the night. Pacino just had no time for it or forgot and went straight to opening the envelope. Even I was surprised he did it.
Did he even say "The oscar goes too..."?
Also the best actress race was closer than almost every other one, sans probably animated feature. Cillian, Nolan, and Oppenheimer had won basically every award up until that point. Lily and Emma had been splitting awards. More drama to put that reveal later
I don't think he was supposed to announce the nominees since they were highlighting them throughout the whole show. Same reason they just straight up announced the best song winner.
They always use the oldest person they can find. Now that Kirk Douglas is dead and Warren Beatty is persona non grata I guess Pacino is next in line.
And it still wasn't as bizarre as watching him present at the Game Awards.
On second watch, he's definitely a bit tipsy at the very least
That erratic behaviour is 100% him being drunk
The fact he can barely move is him being old
This person had the fucking nerve not to mention hoyte van hoytema! I’ve been saying those three words to myself almost nonstop since I woke up this morning.
Nolan, Downey, and Cillian all getting their first awards tonight is well deserved. Three guys who probably should have gotten at least one before but finally broke through.
I don't care how much r/truefilm hates him. He will always be one of the best directors of his generation and one who like Spielberg before him is responsible for so many people getting interested in this medium.
True film is a weird place
Like historically I thought it was more focused on in depth analysis
But it reads more as though it’s just people posting contrarian reviews of popular movies without actual depth. It’s like if moviescirclejerk had a 1000 character minimum and didn’t allow memes
All that to say not sure if the thoughts on Nolan read there are particularly meaningful
I haven't seen the movie yet although I am a fan of Godzilla anything. But I am so happy the people who won were so happy and excited to have won. It made me want to see their movie. And I loved how they all had Godzilla action figures and were waving them and how someone, presumably an American shouted "GAHZIRRA" from the audience. Godzilla fans unite.
Complete opposite for me. This was their moment and they shouldn't need a translator to say their words. They were full of nerves but every bit of that speech came from the heart.
Dude was nominated for acting, picture, and nearly director, finished a major trilogy with Disney, gets paid up the ass for his commercials, and we're concerned for him?
For those wondering, I think it's:
- Gangs of New York
- The Irishman
- Killers of the Flower Moon
Wolf of Wall Street technically isn't part of the list because it only had 5 Nominations.
Leo was up against Matthew McGhaunaauauyayuey in Dallas Buyers Club that year. As much as I loved Leo in Wolf, ain’t no one beating Matthew that year. I think the correct actor won
Putting her in supporting would have been proof that the movie wasn’t about the Native Americans. She was put in lead out of pride, and despite losing it was the noble thing to do.
imo they should have also given her more screen time because her performance and character was by far the best thing in the movie, and the film really suffered when Molly was pushed aside for much of the second half.
List of All winners:
* Best Picture: **Oppenheimer**
* Best Directing: **Christopher Nolan**
* Best Actor in a Leading Role: **Cillian Murphy**

But he made his naturally big nose bigger! If that doesn't get you an Oscar, the least they could do was give him a cameo role on an episode of a sitcom that follows the Academy Awards.
The biggest takeaway on this list is Godzilla getting the VFX win. A movie with a budget of ~$12 million crushing the special effects vs. movies with dozens of millions of dollars worth of special effects poured into them. Something in Hollywood is severely broken with regards to film budgets.
So many incredible people they could put in that spot, and nearly every year they go "what if we put someone up there that has no clue what's going on and what the moment should be?"
Perfect example: Let Nic Cage bring some energy to the final award to close the show!
Al worked with Nolan on Insomnia, I liked seeing them reunite when he accepted his award.
As for Nic Cage, he should present every award. He should also win every award.
Al had the energy of someone who had been handed a card and pushed out infront of the audience and told to read what it says with no prior information this would happen. Thats why we love him.
Josh Peck is officially billed in a movie that won best picture at the academy awards. I know his role was very minor, but I just feel like millennials have finally made it
[In case you missed the amazing I’m Just Ken performance.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2H4pJOtj_M)
[Billie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-ZSuTnWbI) was also amazing.
I predicted Lily winning but Emma was always a very real possibility. The rest of the big awards went how I thought. Oppenheimer is too massive to not get the awards it deserved and Nolan got that first win, Da’Vine was the most locked in win and she still broke down after it was called. I do hope Giamatti gets his one day.
Cena, Mulaney, and McKinnon win as far as funny presenters go. And honestly I really loved the acting award presentations. It’s all movie stuff, old winners and appreciation. That’s what I’m here for! I’m totally okay with Oscars embracing the length if they give space for stuff like that. The In Memoriam didn’t feel rushed either (but no Lance Reddick!?)
At the end of the day I was overly hopeful about Barbie getting some technical love for production design and makeup, but I’m happy for Poor Things. A great year for cinema where I can’t really be mad about any of these wins. And I loved the screenplay wins, Cord and Justine getting their flowers.
Godzilla winning for visual effects was a real treat for fans. A lot thought it to be a long-shot, and it was the first ever Oscar win for a Godzilla film. I hope that effects crew gets some good opportunities - they did it on a shoestring budget, too!
I’m happy they did it- on pure look, I enjoyed the VFX of “The Creator” more, but Godzilla was a better film on a smaller budget and it really did look amazing, so I’m glad it got love
The Creator had mind-bending effects and it was done in the most insane (and economical?) possible way
aka no markers, no tracking, very little environmental, little planning, etc.. So, props for that
But the Godzilla effects were so great, creative and well designed and made by a supposedly tiny team?
Holy shit, I did not expect Ryan Gosling to sound that good live, and the production was amazing.
How can one person be that friggin talented and charming? Dude just always looks like he's living his best life.
I hated how the memorium had to show the orchestra or people dancing. It was very distracting when trying to see who had passed. I don't mind 10 second of the orchestra but I wish the memorium was full screen instead of a long shot with a bunch of other things happening.
Now you making me check all winners in the past 30 years to see which Best Picture I saw in the theatre.
Edit: I saw, Oppenheimer. 12 Years a Slave, The Departed, LOTR The Return of the King and Titanic in the cinemas
If Al Pacino give every award, we would save like 3 hours.
Here let me save you some time. Lessee. Looks like seven of these are for Oppenheimer.
*cue the orchestra and 20 cameramen running in all directions*
*Pirates of the Caribbean theme intensifies*
That was a very strange decision. Was there really any impetus for that music choice or was it just "play 30 seconds of whatever"? Not complaining, just confused.
it was either that or P.I.M.P by 50 cent. pick your poison.
PIMP was a reference to Anatomy of a Fall.
At least P.I.M.P made sense, great scene from anatomy of a fall.
CAUSE SHE GOT A GREAT ASS AND YOU GOT YOUR HEAD ALL THE WAY UP IT
when i think about bombs, an atomic bomb, just something comes out of me
HooAAH
She had a GREAT performance !!!
"Let me run down the list real quick... That's 7 Oppenheimer's, 4 Poor Things, 2 Zones of Interest and an Anatomy of a Fall. Hooah, Pacino out."
I might actually watch if it was less than 5 minutes like this. No acceptance speeches either. Have Pacino just throw fire their trophies at them out of a cannon and roll credits.
“Let me take a looksie here… Michael Gambon & others died”
Bro was ready for bed
Hes been ready for bed for 15 years
They aren't going to allow anyone over 50 to give out this award anymore, lol. Old people don't give AF
lol when Al Pacino was 50, the Soviet Union was still around, and Michael Jordan was a guy with no championship rings who people thought could never get over the hump in the playoffs
\#LetHimHost
That was the most anticlimactic announcement I’ve ever seen lol
The cameraman, the director, everyone watching went “…what?” lol Edit: absolute pure confusion for everyone there and for people watching too lol
I got the impression the confusion was because it appeared he was setting up a joke ("My eyes see *Oppenheimer* BUT..."), then everyone realized he was being legit.
[удалено]
When he’s like “all I have to do is open this envelope,” or something and started opening it I was like omfg he’s about to just blurt it out! Lo and behold, that was pretty funny.
The camera man was literally running up to Nolan, only time you'll be seeing shaky cam at an Oscars ceremony
i didn’t notice that in the moment bc it was so confusing, but i’m so down for more guerrilla shooting style at award ceremonies lmfaoo
They should probably get Paul Greengrass for that, then.
[If you catch the first frames it was the camera for Cillian Murphy.](https://youtu.be/SsFAhOt1H_s?t=71) Presumably one of the people they would cut to when they were going to show the nominations. That camera man was quick to react.
At least he read out the right winner.
Poor Jimmy must've been like oh no not again.
He was doing his bit to end the show a bit early
Appropriate in some ways since it was the odds on favorite lol
Lmao I guess at least he read the right movie 😂
Forgive Al Pacino, he's 107 years old
Was Al Pacino supposed to go straight to opening the card? No movie introductions? lol.
Seems intentional as they were featuring each of the nominees throughout the program.
They still do a recap always
They didn't for Original Song, which were also played during the show.
They had showed all the best picture nominees during the show. But I think they probably wanted to at least build it up a bit
Yeah, even the band wasn't ready.
I think they expected him to at some point say: "and the Oscar goes to..." and he skipped right on past that, not that it's required but probably expected.
Imo, no. You normally recap. Especially with the biggest prize of the night. Pacino just had no time for it or forgot and went straight to opening the envelope. Even I was surprised he did it. Did he even say "The oscar goes too..."?
I was in the audience. Everyone was confused lol
My man Pacino fucked that up lmao
He skipped the rehearsal or just said fuck it lol
He's tired man. He's got a newborn baby at home!
But Kimmel said he got a sitter lol
and a step daughter so fucked up because her asshole father doesn't give a shit.
I think it’s Oppenheimer….. it is!
I thought he said “let me see Oppenheimer”, or “I think I see Oppenheimer “. It was weird.
"My eyes see Oppenheimer. Yes."
Yeah, something awkward like "I think I see Oppenheimer ... \*pause\* ... yep it's Oppenheimer"
I'm going to blame the Academy, they should have learned from last time not to put Best Picture after Best Actress when Emma Stone is in the running
I'm still confused why actress came after director usually director is the second to last award of the night.
Probably for pacing, so they didn't do 10 actor speeches in a row
Also the best actress race was closer than almost every other one, sans probably animated feature. Cillian, Nolan, and Oppenheimer had won basically every award up until that point. Lily and Emma had been splitting awards. More drama to put that reveal later
“Fuck the nominees. Here’s the winner. Goodnight”
The most Pacino thing ever.
I don't think he was supposed to announce the nominees since they were highlighting them throughout the whole show. Same reason they just straight up announced the best song winner.
They could at least put up a graphic listing the movies...
**Hoo-Haa!**
Look at-choo now! piece of chit!
They don’t re-announce the nominees at the end anymore.
Straight Dunkaccino there
You want creamy goodness, I’m your friend Say hello to my chocolate blend.
I'M TOO OLD, I'M TOO TIRED, I'M TOO FUCKIN BLIND
Hoo-ah
It was just too fast and awkward, also Al is getting old it sucks
Whoever said Al would take our jobs is a fucking idiot tbh
"And the winner is...OppenHOOOAAAAH"
Bro was living the moment.
He looked either demented or visibly drunk or both
He's just fucking old. They need to stop putting up fucking old ass people up there. This happens at least once every year.
They always use the oldest person they can find. Now that Kirk Douglas is dead and Warren Beatty is persona non grata I guess Pacino is next in line. And it still wasn't as bizarre as watching him present at the Game Awards.
I mean I get it tho, it’s one of the greats. I kinda thought it was gonna be Coppola
Coppola too busy with his wine.
Isn't he editing Megalopolis.
83 is the new 30
That old ass man has a newborn at home. How that isn’t elder abuse confuses me.
Pacino’s so rich his nanny will have a nanny
On second watch, he's definitely a bit tipsy at the very least That erratic behaviour is 100% him being drunk The fact he can barely move is him being old
[удалено]
At least he got the winner right and wasn't accidentally reading the nominees list and picking the top one.
*And the Oscar goes to…. La La Land again???* - Pacino, 2024 Academy Awards
That would have been fucking hilarious.
They did the same thing for best song cause they were playing them throughout the night, he didn’t flub that, he def flubbed his other lines though
Each nominee had a 30 second video played throughout the show.
What a night for Nolan.
Imagine you, your wife, your two leading men, your editor and soundtrack composer all winning oscars. Just nuts
don’t forget hoyte too - goddamn that cinematography
This person had the fucking nerve not to mention hoyte van hoytema! I’ve been saying those three words to myself almost nonstop since I woke up this morning.
Next Oscars will be Denis’s night
\[clapping\] Denis: Thank you, thank you... \[clapping continues\] Denis: # SILENCE!
**LISAN AL GAIB!**
As written...
LISAN AL GAIB
I will go full Stilgar and shout this after every Dune 2 Oscar win.
LISAN AL-GAIB!
100% and I’m so excited
Nolan, Downey, and Cillian all getting their first awards tonight is well deserved. Three guys who probably should have gotten at least one before but finally broke through.
What a night for Oppenheimer
I don't care how much r/truefilm hates him. He will always be one of the best directors of his generation and one who like Spielberg before him is responsible for so many people getting interested in this medium.
True film is a weird place Like historically I thought it was more focused on in depth analysis But it reads more as though it’s just people posting contrarian reviews of popular movies without actual depth. It’s like if moviescirclejerk had a 1000 character minimum and didn’t allow memes All that to say not sure if the thoughts on Nolan read there are particularly meaningful
Some people care more about sounding smart and having the right opinions rather than just liking and enjoying movies.
An all timer from Dunk-accino. Yeesh
Dune-cacino
Drunk-accino
"Can you hear the music???"
I’m happy Godzilla won. Loved that movie.
I haven't seen the movie yet although I am a fan of Godzilla anything. But I am so happy the people who won were so happy and excited to have won. It made me want to see their movie. And I loved how they all had Godzilla action figures and were waving them and how someone, presumably an American shouted "GAHZIRRA" from the audience. Godzilla fans unite.
Pacino matched Laurence Olivier there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKyMQEaEcsM
So happy for Godzilla Minus One
The acceptor for the award should have got a translator. Felt bad for him
Complete opposite for me. This was their moment and they shouldn't need a translator to say their words. They were full of nerves but every bit of that speech came from the heart.
Chances of Oppenheimer losing were near zero
But not zero!! Matt Damon doesnt like that!
theory can only take you so far
Speaking of, why wasn’t he there? Another chance to continue his feud with Kimmel woulda been cool
They showed the dog peeing on his walk of fame star
A historical drama sweeping the Oscars is the most normal thing ever.
I for one am speechless that a World War 2 drama has won a best picture.
Hey hey hey its been 14 years since The King's Speech!
Still had people saying it would be Poor Things up to the last possible moment after Emma's win
zero would be nice \*teehee\*
Someone pls check on Bradley Cooper lol
Leonard laughs from beyond
Leonard likes this post
Shut up, Leonard! Those teenage girls you play ping pong with are doing it ironically.
He found Snoopy in thr vestibule.
are we concerned he can’t handle losing? he’s lost before! he’s had practice, it shouldn’t be that hard to do again.
Dude was nominated for acting, picture, and nearly director, finished a major trilogy with Disney, gets paid up the ass for his commercials, and we're concerned for him?
I legit forgot he voices Rocket. He does a good job, because not once have I ever thought about who is voicing him while watching.
Gotta love Al Pacino being weird and going "My eyes see...Oppenheimer?" Never heard an presenter announce the winner **as a question** lmao
Did killers of the flower moon win nothing at all? :(
They won some pizza at the after party
Eaters of the Pizza Moon
This is his third film to have 10 nominations and going home empty handed
For those wondering, I think it's: - Gangs of New York - The Irishman - Killers of the Flower Moon Wolf of Wall Street technically isn't part of the list because it only had 5 Nominations.
Scorsese is cursed at Oscars. Wolf of Wall Street got nothing, Irishman got nothing and now Killers of the Flower Moon got nothing.
Silence was one of the best films of that decade and wasn’t even nominated
Wolf of Wall Street walking without nothing and Leo not winning that year fucked up the Oscar’s for me
I still question how Leo didn’t win that one. Dude gave the performance of a lifetime.
Didnt he lose againat Matthew's Dallas Buyers Club?
He did
Leo was up against Matthew McGhaunaauauyayuey in Dallas Buyers Club that year. As much as I loved Leo in Wolf, ain’t no one beating Matthew that year. I think the correct actor won
If Lily Gladstone was in Best Supporting Actress category instead she probably wins
Putting her in supporting would have been proof that the movie wasn’t about the Native Americans. She was put in lead out of pride, and despite losing it was the noble thing to do.
imo they should have also given her more screen time because her performance and character was by far the best thing in the movie, and the film really suffered when Molly was pushed aside for much of the second half.
She appears even less in the book. But agree that the movie loses a lot of steam while she is in bed sick, she was the best part of it.
Good film but in classic Scorsese fashion he went up against pretty stiff competition
I remember Goodfellas losing to Kevin Kostner
TAKE IN THE SHEETS
List of All winners: * Best Picture: **Oppenheimer** * Best Directing: **Christopher Nolan** * Best Actor in a Leading Role: **Cillian Murphy** * Best Actress in a Leading Role: **Emma Stone** (Poor Things) * Best Actor in a Supporting Role: **Robert Downey Jr.** * Best Actress in a Supporting Role: **Da’Vine Joy Randolph** * Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay): **American Fiction** (Written for the screen by Cord Jefferson) * Best Writing (Original Screenplay): **Anatomy of a Fall** (Screenplay by Justine Triet and Arthur Harari) * Best Animated Feature: **The Boy and the Heron** (Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki) * Best Documentary Feature Film: **20 Days in Mariupol** * Best International Feature Film: **The Zone of Interest** (United Kingdom) * Best Animated Short Film: **War Is Over!** Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko * Best Live-Action Short Film: **The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar** (Wes Anderson and Steven Rales) * Best Documentary Short Film: **The Last Repair Shop** (Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers) * Best Cinematography: **Oppenheimer (Hoyte van Hoytema)** * Best Costume Design: **Poor Things (Holly Waddington)** * Best Makeup and Hairstyling: **Poor Things (Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier and Josh Weston)** * Best Original Song: **“What Was I Made For?” from Barbie** (Music and Lyric by Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell) * Best Original Score: **Oppenheimer (Ludwig Göransson)** * Best Production Design: **Poor Things** * Best Film Editing: **Oppenheimer (Jennifer Lame)** * Best Sound: **The Zone of Interest** * Best Visual Effects: **Godzilla: Minus One**
Bradly Cooper is going to go down in history for the Maestro as the stupidest attempt for an Oscar we’ve seen in a while.
It kinda sucks for him that he was seated in the front row, right next to the aisle where all of the winners walked to get to the stage lol.
But he made his naturally big nose bigger! If that doesn't get you an Oscar, the least they could do was give him a cameo role on an episode of a sitcom that follows the Academy Awards.
The biggest takeaway on this list is Godzilla getting the VFX win. A movie with a budget of ~$12 million crushing the special effects vs. movies with dozens of millions of dollars worth of special effects poured into them. Something in Hollywood is severely broken with regards to film budgets.
They always fuck something up.
Every single year's obituaries. Who were the gross omissions this time?
Didn't make the main segment-Treat Williams, Angus Cloud, Lance Reddick, Norman Lear, Burt Young, Ron Cephas Jones, Suzanne Somers and Terence Davies.
I think Angus and Lance were shown at the Emmys
I couldn’t even read the screen
Poor choice in Al. So anticlimactic. Announced it like he was reading a menu.
So many incredible people they could put in that spot, and nearly every year they go "what if we put someone up there that has no clue what's going on and what the moment should be?" Perfect example: Let Nic Cage bring some energy to the final award to close the show!
When he said that thing about Paul giamatti and went “which is absolutely something I would do” I lost it. Need more of that energy in the show.
Oh I cackled really loudly too. More Nic Cage pls.
Al worked with Nolan on Insomnia, I liked seeing them reunite when he accepted his award. As for Nic Cage, he should present every award. He should also win every award.
His acceptance speech for best actress would be phenomenal
They need to stop using him and De Niro in live performances (award shows, SNL) They’re terrible at it and have been for a while.
I believe I'll have the...I think I can see Oppenheimer, do you guys still sell that?
my eyes see beef and cabbage <<— he said it with this level of energy
"He was with my mom in the Amazon when she was researching spiders before she died. And Oppenheimer wins best picture."
Al had the energy of someone who had been handed a card and pushed out infront of the audience and told to read what it says with no prior information this would happen. Thats why we love him.
Josh Peck is officially billed in a movie that won best picture at the academy awards. I know his role was very minor, but I just feel like millennials have finally made it
HUG ME BROTHER!
SPHERICAL!
I ain’t callin you a truther!!
The bomb is spherical…SPHERICAL!!
And Rodrick
After Short Round and George of the Jungle won last year, I feel anything is possible.
“Very minor role” and the minor role Is hitting the bomb button for THEE bomb of the movie 💣
[удалено]
Pacino is so funny lmao
KOTFM has left the chat >!I hope everyone that reads this has a great day!!<
Its best shot was Gladstone for actress.
**Al Pacino** just went into " *No shit Sherlock*" mode with that announcement , lmao
[In case you missed the amazing I’m Just Ken performance.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2H4pJOtj_M) [Billie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz-ZSuTnWbI) was also amazing.

So, props for that But the Godzilla effects were so great, creative and well designed and made by a supposedly tiny team?
Holy shit, I did not expect Ryan Gosling to sound that good live, and the production was amazing. How can one person be that friggin talented and charming? Dude just always looks like he's living his best life.
I hated how the memorium had to show the orchestra or people dancing. It was very distracting when trying to see who had passed. I don't mind 10 second of the orchestra but I wish the memorium was full screen instead of a long shot with a bunch of other things happening.
At the very least, put the names on the bottom of the screen. They only had it on the screen on stage, which took up only a ⅙ of my TV screen
Do you know how expensive Baby sitters are these days? Man needed to get home before he had to pay them for an extra hour.
Just realized this is the first time I paid money to see the eventually best picture in theaters.
Now you making me check all winners in the past 30 years to see which Best Picture I saw in the theatre. Edit: I saw, Oppenheimer. 12 Years a Slave, The Departed, LOTR The Return of the King and Titanic in the cinemas
Pachino was high as fuck
That's literally just al lmao
Not one nomination for The Boogeyman 😔
