Jimmy Kimmel mocks Al Pacino’s Best Picture Oscars 2024 flub

Say hello to my different presenting style.

Oscars 2024 host Jimmy Kimmel jokingly slammed Al Pacino’s presentation of the coveted Best Picture award while appearing on “Live with Kelly and Mark.”

“I guess he’s never watched an awards show before,” Kimmel, 56, told Kelly Ripa, 53, and Mark Consuelos, 52, in a clip aired on Monday. “It seems like everyone in America knows the rhythm of how it’s supposed to go, down to ‘And the Oscar goes to…’ but, uh, not Al.”

The “Scarface” actor — who was supposed to reunite with his co-star Michelle Pfeiffer until she dropped out last-minute — appeared during Sunday’s star-studded assembly to present the top honor … with his own twist.

Instead of building the tension and suspense — as other presenters have before — by naming each of the 10 nominated films, the “Godfather” star just blurted out the victor.

“This is the time for the last award of the evening, and it’s my honor to present it. Ten wonderful films were nominated, but only one will take the award for Best Picture,” Pacino stated while fumbling to open the envelope. “And, uh, I have to go to the envelope for that, and I will. Here it comes. And my eyes see ‘Oppenheimer.’ Yes. Yes.”

Pacino’s abrupt announcement took some by surprise inside LA’s Dolby Theater — and others at home.

The Post reached out to Pacino for comment.

Several critics were quick to react on social media, too.

“This is the time for the last award of the evening, and it’s my honor to present it. Ten wonderful films were nominated, but only one will take the award for Best Picture,” Pacino stated while fumbling to open the envelope. “And, uh, I have to go to the envelope for that, and I will. Here it comes. And my eyes see ‘Oppenheimer.’ Yes. Yes.” Rob Latour/Shutterstock

“Wish Al would have read all of the nominees first. I was looking forward to seeing the sizzle reels, and a bit of tension,” one person posted on X (formerly Twitter).

“The downside of elderly legends giving out the biggest award,” stated a second person. “Pair them with a younger star to make sure they do what they are supposed to do or tape the announcement of the ten nominees. Disrespectful to not give them their due.”

“Didn’t anyone tell him he had to read the names of the nominated films before he opens the envelope,” a third user lambasted. “Was he drinking?”

The “Scent of a Woman” alum’s hesitant delivery of the award caused Oscar-goers to hold their applause for the film until Pacino confirmed the name and the film’s score rang throughout LA’s Dolby Theatre. REUTERS/Mike Blake

Despite several negative reviews, others defended him.

“People think he forgot to say the nominees, but they did the same non-announcement for Best Song,” a user pointed out. “Perhaps they skip saying the nominees in both categories because each song was sung and each movie highlighted during the ceremony.”

“This always happens at the end of these awards shows especially when they have an 80-year-old presenting. You can’t blame them. Get over it,” another angry X user posted.

“Another old Hollywood legend hung out to dry at the end of the show,” a third person lamented.

Although Kimmel teased Pacino, a source claims to E! News that the actor’s abbreviated speech was a creative direction by production.

Christopher Nolan’s three-hour epic, which was nominated for 13 awards, took home the top prize, beating out “American Fiction,” “Barbie,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “The Holdovers,” “Poor Things,” “The Zone of Interest,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Past Lives” and “Maestro.”

The biopic also earned gold statues for Best Director (Nolan), Best Actor (Cillian Murphy), Best Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr.), Best Editing, Best Cinematography and Best Score.

Oscars 2024 Full List of Nominations: Oppenheimer Leads with 13 Nods

The Oscars 2024 nominees have been announced, with Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer leading as expected, bagging 13 nods. The biographical film about the life of American physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the birth of the atomic bomb has already won five Golden Globes and eight Critics Choice awards. The Cillian Murphy starrer is shortly followed by Emma Stone’s science fiction fantasy Poor Things and Leonardo DiCaprio’s historical crime drama Killers of the Flower Moon, which have been nominated in 11 and 10 categories, respectively.

However, Barbie surprisingly dropped from the highest number of nominations in Critics Choice Awards to just eight nods for Oscars. Although the “Barbenheimer” pop-culture sensation is still leading the pack with a total of 21 nominations.

With the nominations for Best Sound and Best Visual Effects for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and Best Visual Effects for Godzilla Minus One, the Godzilla and Mission: Impossible film franchises have finally made it to the Oscar nominations for the first time in history. Killer of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone, too, hit a new milestone, becoming the first indigenous actress of American descent to be nominated for an Academy Award.

Speaking of records, Martin Scorsese hit two of them, with most Oscar nominations in Best Director category for any living filmmaker and the oldest one nominated for the same.

While last year India made history by winning the Best Original Song Oscar for the energetic Naatu Nattu from RRR, there are no contenders from the South Asian country this time.

However, a documentary called To Killer a Tiger, based on a gangrape case in Jharkhand – directed by India-born Canadian filmmaker Nisha Pahuja – has been nominated in the Best Documentary Feature Film category.

Other films that garnered nominations include Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, The Holdovers, The Zone of Interest, and Napoleon.

Oscars 2024 Shortlist Revealed for 10 Categories: Barbie Leads With Five Mentions

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled shortlists in 10 categories for the upcoming Oscars 2024 ceremony. Among those, Greta Gerwig’s candy-coated romp Barbie leads with five mentions, largely dominating in the Best Original Song section with three entries alone. Dua Lipa’s party song ‘Dance the Night,’ Billie Eilish’s ‘What Was I Made For?,’ and the super-catchy and sentimental ‘I’m Just Ken’ from star Ryan Gosling and writer-composer Mark Ronson made it to the list. Surprisingly, the film failed to secure placements in the makeup and hairstyling department, with absurd choices like Beau Is Afraid, Ferrari, and Oppenheimer making the cut.

Oddly, the Christopher Nolan film, which emulated an atomic bomb explosion through practical means, didn’t earn a place amongst the Best Visual Effects consideration for the year. It has instead secured nods in the audio department for Best Original Score — composed by Ludwig Göransson — and for the best use of sound design, for which it competes against David Fincher’s The Killer, Michael Mann’s Ferrari, Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, and more. The last of them has nabbed four spots in the Oscars 2024 shortlist, with ‘Wahzhazhe (A Song For My People)’, performed by the Osage tribe, contesting to be named among the final nominees for Best Original Song, come March 10, 2024.

Unlike last year, no entries from India were considered for the Oscars 2024 shortlist — the Jude Anthany Joseph-directed Malayalam-language disaster feature, 2018: Everyone is a Hero, was India’s submission for consideration this year, but it failed to make the cut for Best International Feature Film. Movies from 88 countries and regions were eligible for the foreign language shortlist, after meeting a “minimum viewing requirement” to be eligible to vote. When the nominees are finalised, Academy members will be required to watch all 15 shortlisted films, before deciding what to send forward to the grand Oscars event. The nominations will be officially announced on January 23.

With that, here’s the full list of Oscars 2024 shortlists:

2018: Everyone Is a Hero Becomes India’s Official Entry for Oscars 2024

Survival drama 2018: Everyone is a Hero, based on the Kerala floods of that year, is India’s official entry to the Academy Awards 2024, the Film Federation of India announced on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference, Girish Kasaravalli, noted filmmaker and chairperson of the selection committee, said the 16-member jury unanimously selected the Malayalam film to represent the country.

Kasaravalli, a renowned voice in Kannada cinema, said they had a lengthy discussion before choosing 2018 to represent India at the 2024 Academy Awards. “It was a pan-Indian selection. And we were happy that there were 16 members and we watched 22 films in one week’s time. It was a difficult decision because there were so many good films and we had to analyse to find out which film had better merit. Finally, we decided on 2018: Everyone is a Hero,” the filmmaker said.

According to Kasaravalli, the Jude Anthany Joseph-directed film highlights “Indian ethos, situation and people”. “It’s a film that talks about a calamity that Kerala faced in 2018. It not only represents India but also the calamity that’s happening around the world. The film also excels cinematically and technically,” he said. “Such messages are linked to climate change and the so-called development,” he added.

Lead star Tovino Thomas, who is currently in Amsterdam for the Septimius Awards where he won the Best Asian Actor trophy for 2018, said it was time for celebration for the team. “I was very happy last night and woke up even happier to this exciting news as our film 2018 has been selected as India’s official entry (to the Oscars). We worked in extreme conditions but it’s all paying off. This movie is now getting international acclaim. It’s great,” Thomas told PTI over phone from Amsterdam.

“I’m not with the team to celebrate this moment. But this definitely calls for a celebration,” he added.

Joseph said the announcement came as a happy surprise. “It was such a happiness that our film is going for the Oscars as the country’s official entry,” he added.

Ravi Kottarakara, FFI president, said as many as 22 titles including Hindi films The Kerala Story, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Gadar 2, Zwigato, The Vaccine War, Mrs Chatterjee Vs Norway, as well as Balagam (Telugu), Vaalvi (Marathi), Baaplyok (Marathi), and August 16, 1947 (Tamil) were also in the running. But the jury unanimously chose 2018.

2018 also stars Tanvi Ram, Kunchako Boban, and Aparna Balamurali. In June, the makers claimed that the film had crossed over Rs. 200 crore at the box office to become the highest-grossing film in Malayalam cinema.

FFI, an autonomous body of producers, exhibitors, studio owners, and distributors decides India’s official entry to the Oscars for the best international feature category. Last year, RRR and The Elephant Whisperers, the two Indian films which won the Best Original Song and Best Documentary Short, were sent to the Oscars directly by the makers, but India’s official entry in the International Film category, Gujarati film Chhello Show (Last Film Show), failed to make the cut in the final five nominations. The last Indian film that made it to the final five was the Aamir Khan-led Lagaan in 2001.

The 96th Academy Awards are scheduled to take place on March 10, 2024 in Los Angeles.

Helen Mirren cried for ‘magical’ Brendan Fraser after ‘Whale’ Best Actor win

It was a mammoth win for Fraser.

Helen Mirren revealed Friday that she shed tears of joy when her pal Brendan Fraser won an Academy Award for Best Actor during the 95th Oscars last Sunday.

The “Catherine the Great” actress made the revelation while appearing on “The Kelly Clarkson” show while promoting her new film “Shazam: Fury of the Gods.”

“I cried when Brendan Fraser got the award,” stated Mirren, 77. ” He’s such a lovely person.”

“I’m sure you know what a beautiful man he is. He’s a magical man — he was clearly very very moved it was a huge moment for him,” continued the legendary actress. “It was the right person for me — the way he responded to it, I just found it very moving. It was the highlight for me out of the whole show.”

“That’s so cool,” commented Clarkson, 40. “He did such an incredible job.”

“He did such an incredible job,” continued the “Since U Been Gone” singer. “Because you believe in them, or their project, or whatever it might be, and they win. That’s a good feeling for everyone involved.”

Mirren and Fraser, 54, starred in the 2009 fantasy film “Inkheart.”

In the film, Fraser plays an author who, alongside his daughter, has the power to bring storybook characters to life.

The award signified a major comeback for Fraser, who alleged that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Philip Berk, 89, sexually assaulted him in 2003 and he has since limited his time in the public eye.

Berk has continuously denied the allegation.

Fraser beat out several high-profile actors including Austin Butler, who was also considered a front-runner for the award alongside “The Whale” star.

The actor said that it was an “honor” to be nominated alongside them.

“My goodness, I thank the Academy for this honor and for our studio A24 for making such a bold film,” Fraser said in his acceptance speech. ” I’m grateful to [director] Darren Aronofsky for throwing me a creative lifeline and hauling me aboard the good ship ‘The Whale’.”

Michelle Yeoh wins Best Actress at 2023 Oscars

Michelle Yeoh is taking home the Oscar for Best Actress for her role in “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”

Yeoh, 60, is the second woman of color to win in the category, following Halle Berry for “Monster’s Ball” (2001).

In her speech on stage at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, she tearfully thanked her cast and crew in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and her family.

“For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities,” Yeoh said. “This is proof that dreams, dream big, and dreams do come true. And ladies, don’t let anybody tell you you’re ever past your prime.”

She honored her mom with the award during her speech.

“I have to dedicate this to my mom, all the moms in the world, because they are really the superheroes and without them, none of us will be here tonight. She’s 84 and I’m taking this home to her,” she said.


In the speech, she thanked the Academy for making history.

“Thank you to the Academy, this is history in the making, thank you!” she said as she exited the stage.

Actresses Halle Berry and Jessica Chastain presented the award, breaking from the Oscar tradition of the previous year’s Best Actor winner coming back to present the award for Best Actress. Will Smith has been banned from appearing at the ceremony for 10 years following last year’s slap.

Yeoh beat out fellow nominees Cate Blanchett (“Tár“), Andrea Riseborough (“To Leslie“), Michelle Williams (“The Fabelmans“) and Ana de Armas (“Blonde“).

In “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” Yeoh stars as laundromat owner Evelyn Wang, a Chinese immigrant who is swept into parallel universes in order to save all of existence.

She also made history as the first Asian woman to take home the Best Actress award at both the Golden Globes and SAG Awards.

Yeoh was in hot water earlier this month for possibly violating the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ “References to Other Nominees” rule after reportedly posting a photo of a Vogue article, which suggested fellow frontrunner Blanchett doesn’t need a third Oscar.

The actress posted the photo on her Instagram account mere hours before official Oscar voting ended and then promptly deleted it, according to the Daily Beast.

Riseborough also sparked controversy and was subjected to a full investigation by the academy over the campaign to nominate the “To Leslie” actress. She was cleared by the investigation and allowed to remain on the ballot.

Steven Spielberg says Tom Cruise’s ‘Top Gun’ sequel ‘saved Hollywood’s a–‘

From one legend to another.

Hollywood director Steven Spielberg wasted no time giving Tom Cruise his well-deserved flowers at the Academy Awards luncheon on Monday.

Pulling Cruise in for a hug, Spielberg told the 60-year-old actor that he “saved Hollywood’s a–” with his hit blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick” — which scooped up a Best Picture nomination.

“You saved Hollywood’s a–, and you might have saved theatrical distribution,” Spielberg tells Cruise in the clip. “Seriously, ’Maverick’ might have saved the entire theatrical industry.”

The film, a sequel to Cruise’s 1986 classic, grossed an eye-watering $1.48 billion worldwide since its release in May last year. It also racked up an impressive 96% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The pair, who previously worked together on “Minority Report” and “War of the Worlds,” shared the sweet exchange at the star-studded event, during which Cruise debuted a striking new look.

Cruise’s film, which he didn’t want to make it. earned an impressive six Oscar nominations

Director Joseph Kosinski previously revealed he had just 30 minutes to convince Cruise to star in “Top Gun: Maverick.”

“Top Gun” Maverick” was Cruise’s first film to rake in $100 million opening weekend.

“So I read the script, I had some ideas, and Jerry [Bruckheimer] liked those ideas. He said, ‘You know what, you gotta go pitch this to Tom directly,’” Kosinski told Polygon. “We flew to Paris, where Tom was shooting ‘Mission: Impossible,’ we got about a half-hour of his time between setups.”

“And I basically had 30 minutes to pitch this film, which I didn’t realize when we were flying over. But when I got there, I found that Tom really didn’t want to make another ‘Top Gun,’” he explained.

“It’s one of those moments as a director, you have one on every film, where you’re on the spot to make a case for why this movie should be made. I had 30 minutes to do it.”

Three-time Oscar winner Spielberg, 76, is also celebrating awards season in style. He’s nominated for Best Director for his semi-autobiographical drama “The Fabelmans.”

The film has been showered with critical acclaim since its release late last year. It’s up for Best Picture, and Best Actress for Michelle Williams.

The Academy says response to Will Smith’s Oscar slap was ‘inadequate’

The Academy has admitted that its handling of the infamous Will Smith “slapgate” at the 2022 Oscars was “inadequate.”

The organization, which votes on nominees, winners, and hosts of the annual ceremony, said Monday that it will be “fully transparent” in the future.

At the organization’s luncheon hosted for this year’s Oscar nominees, Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences president Janet Yang spoke about last year’s disastrous event.

“I’m sure you all remember we experienced an unprecedented event at the Oscars,” she said, according to Variety.

“What happened onstage was fully unacceptable and the response from our organization was inadequate.”

“We learned from this that the Academy must be fully transparent and accountable in our actions, and particularly in times of crisis you must act swiftly, compassionately, and decisively for ourselves and for our industry,” she continued.

“You should and can expect no less from us going forward.”

During last year’s Oscar Awards live broadcast, Smith walked onto the stage and struck Rock across the face after the funnyman made a joke about the actor’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Rock compared Pinkett Smith — who suffers from alopecia and shaved her head last summer — to Demi Moore’s bald character “G.I. Jane,” prompting the slap from Smith.

“Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth!” Smith then shouted — twice — after returning to his seat.

Less than an hour after, Smith won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in “King Richard,” and even received a standing ovation from the audience.

The “Fresh Prince” star seemingly partied without a care in the world at the Vanity Fair afterparty that night, but the consequences that followed were not so glamorous.

Smith has resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences following the uproar about his actions. He has also been banned from any academy events for the next 10 years.

The 2023 Academy Awards take place on March 12.
