Now, unless you’re a complete stranger to awards season in the film industry, you’ll be familiar with how standard operating procedure works relating to the presenting of awards.

The presenter – usually a high-profile name within the industry – takes to the stage and first reads the nominations for the category in question. This is not only to remind people of who’s in with a chance of winning, but also to ensure that each and every nominee is given their rightful recognition.

At last night’s 96th Academy Awards, however, actor Al Pacino leapt over that pivotal part of the process, instead opening the envelope and announcing Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer as the winner in the Best Picture category instead.

In addition to Best Picture, Oppenheimer took home six additional awards last night, including those of Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.

Pacino’s premature announcement was a major talking point last night, with internet users unable to keep themselves from commenting. It should be noted that most people saw the mistake through a humorous lens.

 “Al Pacino creating a Moonlight/La La Land moment while still reading the right name. Master class,” one person wrote.
