Al Pacino recently addressed the Oscars controversy regarding his presentation at the 2024 ceremony, where he skipped naming the best picture nominees. Pacino explained it was a producer’s choice not to list them again.
He expressed empathy for those who may have felt slighted by the omission, acknowledging the significance of being nominated for an Oscar.
Oscars producer Molly McNearney explained that the decision was made to avoid lengthening the show as all nominees had been highlighted earlier.
Despite the confusion caused by Pacino’s deviation from the traditional format, it added an element of unpredictability to the live broadcast, according to host Jimmy Kimmel.
