There was no confusion in the envelope in the Oscar on Sundaybut there was some confusion in the audience when Al Pacino announced “Oppenheimer” It had won best film.
The “Godfather” star revealed the night’s top prize winner, saying: “Ten wonderful films were nominated, but only one will take home the award for best film. I have to go to the envelope for that and I will. Here it comes. And my eyes see ‘Oppenheimer’. Yes Yes.”
Pacino’s quick, casual announcement seemed to cause some in the Dolby Theater to pause before the audience began applauding and the orchestra began playing as the cast and crew of “Oppenheimer” made their way to the stage.
A source close to the production told CNN on Monday that, as part of a “predetermined creative decision,” Pacino was “never supposed to announce the nominees” before revealing the winner.
Instead, in an effort to prevent the spectacle from running late into the night, clips of several of the best picture nominees were aired throughout the Oscars telecast. (The show ended early.) Pacino was instructed to go pretty fast onstage, according to this production source, but the way he delivered the line was just Pacino’s own spin.
“The way he announced it at the end was that Al Pacino was Pacino,” the individual said.
Moments before Pacino took the stage, the Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel had made a joke about needing to tear up the envelope that had Emma Stone’s name for best actress for “Poor Things,” a reference to the best mixed image 2017, when “La La Land” was accidentally named the winner before being Announced that “Moonlight” had really won.
