On a night of
the 2024 Oscars
marked by the expected, the surprise, not necessarily pleasant, came unexpectedly at the climax.
Oppenheimer
won with the seven required awards announced by all predictions (one less than
Jonathan Glazer
): film, director (
Christopher Nolan
), leading actor (
Cillian Murphy
) and supporting actor (
Robert Downey Jr.
), and His overwhelming victory was confirmation of a certain return home: to classic Hollywood cinema in the face of the latest stridency that had left great directors - among them, Nolan himself - out on so many occasions.
And who could better embody that return home, to classicism, than a long-time actor like
Al Pacino
.
The Academy must have thought something like this when they gave it the honor of presenting the
Oscar
for best film, the highlight of a gala followed by millions of people around the world;
the moment everyone was waiting for.
And that he dispatched without further complications to the astonishment of the public.

The scene was so uncomfortable that many already relate it to Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway's historic blunder in 2017, when they gave
La La Land
" instead of
Moonlight
the winner of the
Oscar
for
best film
. "I want to explain what happened: I opened the envelope and it said: '
Emma Stone
,
La La Land
', and that's why I took a long look at Faye (Dunaway)," Beatty explained as soon as the mistake was revealed. Indeed, he had received the about wrong.
In this case, there was no error.
The winner of the
Oscar
for
best film
was, indeed,
Oppenheimer
.
The problem was the complete lack of emotion in the announcement.
So much so that he left out half of what he should have said along the way.
Al Pacino
came out on stage to a standing ovation.
"Thank you, my friends! I should do some Shakespeare. 'To be, or not to...' No, no, I'm not going to do that now," he began, in the last wink he would have with the audience.
The veteran performer who will turn 84 next April immediately launched into announcing the winner of the
2024 Oscar
for
best film
.
He left out mentioning the nominees, he didn't leave a second of emotion and jumped into the pool: "Best movie... oh, I have to go to the envelope for that. And I will. Here it comes. And... "Do my eyes see
Oppenheimer
?"
A few moments of confusion followed until
Al Pacino
himself confirmed that, indeed, his eyes did not lie: the
2024 Oscar
for best film was, indeed, for
Oppenheimer
.
When the triumphant music finally played and the audience burst into applause and hugs, the camera focused again on a very confused
Al Pacino
, who capped his questionable performance with a disconcerting: "What happened?"
