Al Pacino's messy Best Picture gaffe is truly astonishing

Just when we thought that John Cena, completely naked, receiving the award for Best Costume Design was going to be the most chaotic moment of this year's Oscars, along comes Al Pacino.

It's certain that Al Pacino's presentation of the night's top award will go down in history for how short, sweet and incredibly “I won't give that” it was.

Instead of announcing the nominees for the award, The Godfather star simply opened the envelope and said, “My eyes see it.” Oppenheimer.”

No tension, no preparation, no “The Oscar goes to…” for the biggest award of the evening. Just pure chaos – and honestly, we love watching it.

As a reminder, the nominees were: American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall,
Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things, The Zone of Interest and well, Oppenheimer.

Naturally-X users (formerly Twitter) were quick to share their views… and they didn't disappoint:
