After awards faupax: Al Pacino justifies himself for strange Oscar appearance. "I just want to make it clear that it was not my intention to leave it out," Pacino said in a statement on Monday afternoon.

Pacino was nominated for an Oscar nine times as an actor and won the award for best actor in 1992 for “The Scent of Women.” The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was not immediately available for comment on Pacino's statement.
