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.

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

.

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?"
