Oscars 2024 LIVE – Al Pacino unveils big winner in ‘anticlimactic’ moment after Jennifer Lawrence breaks into tears

THE 2024 Oscars’ biggest award was overshadowed as Al Pacino appeared to make a very awkward blunder while announcing Best Picture.

Legendary actor Pacino took to the stage to present the Academy Award for Best Picture to Oppenheimer – but viewers were shocked when he didn’t read out the nominees before saying that his “eyes saw” Oppenheimer on the card.

“Al Pacino’s Oscar announcement of best picture was the most chaotic, confusing, and anticlimactic moment of an otherwise enjoyable award show,” one viewer slammed on X, formerly known as Twitter.

But aside from the bungled announcement, it was a great night for Brits as film-maker Christopher Nolan scooped an Oscar for Best Director whilst  The Zone of Interest claimed the Oscar for Best International Feature Film.
