Al Pacino tuvo un momento muy incómodo en los Oscar, y sucedió en la premiación más importante de la noche... y aclara que no fue su culpa.

El legendario actor le dijo a TMZ: "Parece haber cierta controversia sobre el hecho de que no mencioné cada película por su nombre anoche antes de anunciar el premio a la Mejor Película. Solo quiero dejar claro que no fue mi intención omitirlas, sino una elección de los productores de no repetirlas, ya que fueron destacadas individualmente a lo largo de la ceremonia".

Añade: "Me sentí honrado de ser parte de la velada y elegí seguir la forma en que querían que se presentara este premio".

Al concluye diciendo que se siente mal por cualquiera de los nominados que no fueron mencionados antes de que anunciara al ganador, diciendo: "Me doy cuenta de que ser nominado es un hito enorme en la vida de alguien y no ser reconocido completamente es ofensivo y doloroso. Lo digo como alguien que se identifica profundamente con los cineastas, actores y productores, así que empatizo profundamente con aquellos que se han sentido menospreciados por este descuido, y por eso sentí necesario hacer esta declaración".

Si no lo viste... Al Pacino anunció de alguna manera al ganador de la Mejor Película, que finalmente resultó ser "Oppenheimer". Sin embargo, la forma en que lo anunció fue muy anticlimática.

Se podía notar que todos se sorprendieron por la manera en que Al reveló la información, incluso el equipo de "Oppenheimer" no estaba seguro de si realmente los había nombrado como los ganadores.

Al Pacino had a very awkward moment at The Oscars -- and it happened at the biggest possible moment in the night ... something he now says wasn't really his fault.

The legendary actor tells TMZ ... "There seems to be some controversy about my not mentioning every film by name last night before announcing the Best Picture award.  I just want to be clear it was not my intention to omit them, rather a choice by the producers not to have them said again since they were highlighted individually throughout the ceremony."

He adds, "I was honored to be a part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wished for this award to be presented."

Al finishes by saying he feels bad for any of the nominees who weren't mentioned before he announced the winner, saying ... "I realize being nominated is a huge milestone in one’s life and to not be fully recognized is offensive and hurtful. I say this as someone who profoundly relates with filmmakers, actors and producers so I deeply empathize with those who have been slighted by this oversight and it’s why I felt it necessary to make this statement."

If you didn't see it ... Al sorta stumbled his way to the Best Picture winner, which ultimately ended up being "Oppenheimer." The way he announced it, though, was very anticlimactic.

You could tell everyone was taken aback by the way Al spilled the beans -- even the "Oppenheimer" crew themselves weren't quite sure if he'd actually named them as the victors.

Lily Gladstone tuvo que estar 100% lista para la cámara antes de que pudiera posar para un retrato con Tim Cook... sí, incluso el propio jefe tiene que esperar su turno.

La actriz -que fue candidata a Mejor Actriz anoche, pero perdió ante Emma Stone- salió para los Oscar de Apple después de la fiesta en la Sunset Tower el domingo por la noche, y ella estaba codeándose con el CEO de Apple, incluso tomándose algunas fotos con él.

Sin embargo, antes de que las cámaras pudieran disparar... su equipo de retoque tuvo que acercarse constantemente y ajustar algunos detalles... lo que dejó a Timbo esperando incómodamente a su lado.

Échale un vistazo al video obtenido por TMZ, en el que Tim está tratando de averiguar qué hacer mientras el equipo de Lily sigue haciendo su trabajo, moviendo su vestido, arreglando su pelo, etc.

Tim no se inmutó... simplemente sonrió y se mantuvo al margen del caos. Al final, Tim y Lily pudieron posar para una serie de fotos, así que misión cumplida.

Es comprensible que Lily mereciera este tipo de atención en la noche de los Oscars, ya ella era una de las favoritas durante la ceremonia, pero incluso después de perder ante Emma, parece que la gente todavía estaba hiper-enfocada en ella y queriendo charlar. Tim... no tanto.

Mucha gente cree que Lily se ha quedado sin estatuilla... pero lo dejaremos estar.

De hecho, todos los miembros de "Killers of the Flower Moon" se fueron con las manos vacías, pero bueno... al menos se tienen los unos a los otros... por no mencionar a un puñado de manipuladores que intervendrán en cualquier momento.

Lily Gladstone had to be 100 percent camera ready before she could pose for a portrait with Tim Cook ... yes, even the head honcho himself has to acquiesce to an Oscars glam team.

The actress -- who was up for Best Actress last night, but lost to Emma Stone -- stepped out for Apple's Oscars after-party at the Sunset Tower Sunday evening ... and she was hobnobbing with Apple's CEO, even stepping in to take some photos with him.

Before the cameras could fully snap away, though ... her touch-up crew had to constantly come over and adjust things on her -- which left Timbo awkwardly waiting right by her side.

Check out the video, obtained by TMZ ... TC is trying to figure out what to do with himself as Lily's team keeps doing its work ... moving her dress around, fixing her hair, etc. You can tell he's a bit of an afterthought here -- and he's just there to make her look good!

Tim was notably unbothered ... he just smiled and stood to the side of the chaos. Eventually, Tim and Lily were able to pose for a series of pics -- so, mission accomplished.

Understandable that Lily would warrant this type of attention on Oscars night -- she was one of the front-runners during the ceremony ... but even after losing out to Emma, it looks like people still were hyper-focused on her and wanting to chat her up. Tim ... not so much.

A lot of folks feel like LG actually got snubbed out of a statuette ... but we'll leave that be.

Everyone from "Killers of the Flower Moon" left empty-handed, in fact, but hey ... at least they have each other -- not to mention a bunch of handlers who'll jump in at a moment's notice.

Emma Stone fue una de las protagonistas de los Oscars el domingo, no solo se llevó el premio a la Mejor Actriz, sino que también está llamando la atención en Internet por su reacción a la broma de Jimmy Kimmel sobre su película "Poor Things".

Si no viste el programa... durante la velada se emitieron fragmentos de las películas nominadas a Mejor Película, cuando el presentador soltó una broma sobre la película de Emma, de clasificación R, diciendo: "Esas son todas las partes de Poor Things que se nos permite mostrar en televisión". El público se lo tragó, desternillándose de risa... ¡Pero ella no estaba precisamente riéndose!

Échale un vistazo al momento incómodo, la cámara corta inmediatamente a Stone, ella dispara sobre una mirada a su marido Dave McCary antes de aparentemente murmurar la palabra "idiota". ¡Hablando de una reacción sin filtro!

El momento fue inmediatamente compartido en las redes y la gente todavía está tratando de descifrar qué fue lo que realmente dijo en respuesta a la broma que insinuaba que "Poor Things" era simplemente sobre sexo.

Algunos están absolutamente convencidos de que dijo "idiota"... y añaden que en realidad no tenía motivos para enfadarse porque Jimmy dio en el clavo con su broma. Luego está el otro bando, que dice a todo el mundo que se calme y no saque conclusiones precipitadas.

La única que realmente puede aclarar lo que se dijo es la propia Emma, pero vamos a darle un poco de margen, ya que tiene un nuevo y brillante Oscar para celebrar después de todo.

De todos modos, no todo fueron tensiones entre Emma y Jimmy durante la velada; de hecho, él comenzó la ceremonia elogiando su actuación en "Poor Things" durante su monólogo de apertura.

Emma Stone didn't seem to like Jimmy Kimmel's quip about her movie "Poor Things" -- and she let it show right afterward ... now, everyone's playing lip-reader as to what she said.

Clips of the Best Picture nominees played throughout the evening -- and when the "Poor Things" montage went up ... JK dropped a zinger about Emma's R-rated nominated movie, saying, "Those were all the parts of 'Poor Things' we're allowed to show on TV."

The audience chuckled a bit -- but when the cameras cut to Emma in the immediate aftermath of Jimmy's joke ... she quickly said something to her husband, Dave McCary.

On its face -- and based on nothing but trying to make out the words -- it appears she said "What a prick" ... that or "Oh my god." The internet seems to think it was the former.

The moment was immediately picked up online ... and people are still trying to decipher what ES actually said in response to JK insinuating that "Poor Things" was all about sex -- which, to be frank, it kinda is. There's more themes beyond that ... but sex is the main driver.

The only one who can clear the air on what was said is Emma herself -- but she's got a shiny new Oscar to celebrate right now, and she probably ain't gonna spill the tea today.

Anyhoo, it wasn't all tension between Emma and Jimmy during the evening -- in fact, he kicked off the ceremony showering her "Poor Things" performance with praise during his opening monologue ... so he had some love for her, and we're sure ES appreciated it.

In addition to Emma's Best Actress trophy ... her movie also won Costume Design, Production Design, and Makeup & Hairstyling. Big night for the "Poor Things" camp -- jabs regardless.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

The 96th Academy Awards went down on Sunday night and there were many memorable moments! One of those moments was when host Jimmy Kimmel traded insults with former President Donald Trump, reading one of his Truth Social posts to the audience!

Sadly, Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" lost out on all their possible awards except for one -- Billie Eilish and Finneas' "What Was I Made For?" took home Best Original Song!

Barbie's own Ryan Gosling brought the house down when he belted out and fully committed to performing "I'm Just Ken" with the help of Slash, who came out for a surprise appearance.

John Cena surprised everyone when he went nude during the presentation of Best Costume Design ... but we eventually learned he was actually covered up the whole time.

Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, admitted to editing a Mother's Day photo of her with her kids after the internet quickly spotted some confusing mistakes. Some people were accusing the photo of being AI-generated, but we think it looks more like a Photoshop fail.

Ariana Grande is urging fans to back off from attacking her ex-husband Dalton Gomez following her new cryptic song lyrics for "Eternal Sunshine."

Plus, 'Harry Potter' star Miriam Margoyles thinks adult fans of the franchise need to "grow up".

John Cena se desnudó en los Oscar... pero ahora sabemos cuánta piel mostró realmente.

El luchador convertido en actor subió al escenario del Teatro Dolby en Hollywood, California, aparentemente desnudo; sin embargo, hay nuevas fotos que demuestran que estaba usando un tapado color piel, en otras palabras, su trasero estaba cubierto después de todo.

Como se puede ver en las nuevas fotos, John estaba totalmente imperturbable por la mínima vestimenta que tuvo que llevar, mientras sonreía fuera del escenario a la espera de que comenzara su segmento hilarante.

Incluso se le vio pidiendo silencio a algunas personas entre bastidores mientras solo llevaba unas sandalias Birkenstock y un impresionante reloj.

Hay que recordar que John no es ajeno a las actuaciones con poco o nada: es famoso por haber luchado sin camiseta y con pantalones cortos vaqueros durante la mayor parte de su carrera en la WWE.

En cuanto a cómo realizó su cambio rápido en el escenario para presentar la categoría de Mejor Vestuario... el video de arriba muestra a varios asistentes de producción de los Oscar cubriendo a John con telas mientras sonaba el montaje de los nominados.

No cabe duda de que el compromiso valió la pena. La aparición de John ha sido aplaudida como uno de los mejores momentos de la noche.

Otros momentos destacados de los Oscar de este año fue Emma Stone acercándose al micrófono durante la actuación de Ryan Gosling con "I'm Just Ken", el intercambio de palabras entre Jimmy Kimmel y Donald Trump en pleno espectáculo y el reencuentro en el escenario de los coprotagonistas de "Twins", Arnold Schwarzenegger y Danny DeVito.

John Cena stripped down to practically nothing to pull off a streaker bit at the Oscars ... but we now know just how much skin he really showed, and what was actually covered up.

The wrestler-turned-actor took to the Dolby Theatre stage in Hollywood, Calif. in nothing but nude-colored modesty wear to make it appear like he was really naked at the annual industry event. In other words, his junk/ass was covered up after all, so he wasn't totally naked.

As you can see from the new photos ... John was totally unfazed by the minimal amount he had to wear -- as he smiled offstage while waiting for his hilarious segment to begin.

He was even snapped shushing a few people behind the scenes while rocking only Birkenstock sandals and an impressive timepiece.

Remember, John is no stranger to performing in little to nothing -- he famously wrestled shirtless while rocking only denim jorts throughout most of his WWE career.

As for how he pulled off his onstage quick change to present the Best Costume Design category ... the video above shows several Oscars production assistants draping John in fabric as the nominee montage played.

And the commitment to the bit has certainly paid off -- JC's appearance has been applauded as one of the night's highlights.

Other notable moments at this year's Oscars include Emma Stone ripping her dress during Ryan Gosling's performance of "I'm Just Ken," Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump exchanging words mid-show, and "Twins" costars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito's reuniting onstage.

Ya gotta wonder how John's ex, Nikki Garcia, felt about the bit -- as she was also in attendance working the Oscars red carpet.

Ryan Gosling hizo su gran número musical en los Oscars, subiéndose al escenario delante de todos sus compañeros y cantando la canción estrella de "Barbie", y lo hizo a lo grande.

El actor acaba de terminar de interpretar "I'm Just Ken" durante la emisión del domingo y fue tan épico como todo el mundo esperaba. Ryan se vio totalmente comprometido y remeció los Oscars con su voz y ¡con la compañía de Slash!

En efecto, el rockero del sombrero de copa se unió a Ryan en el escenario para tocar la guitarra en directo, y se lució mientras el actor cantaba la canción favorita de los fans del mayor éxito de taquilla del año pasado.

Ryan incluso se acercó a la primera fila, donde Margot Robbie y Greta Gerwig le ayudaron a cantar la canción. Y sí, estaba completamente vestido de rosa para la ocasión.

Durante un tiempo, no estaba claro si Ryan realmente iba a hacer actuar en los Oscar, pero al final lo hizo y su coprotagonista Margot recientemente le aseguró a todos que estaba ansioso por hacerlo, a pesar de que se mostró un poco tímido durante toda la temporada de premios de este año.

Fue uno de los únicos momentos destacados de "Barbie"de la noche hasta el momento, Billie Eilish acaba de ganar Mejor Canción, para "What Was I Made For", pero las cosas han sido bastante tranquilas para el equipo detrás de la muñeca.

Ryan Gosling did his big musical number at the Oscars  -- getting onstage in front of all his peers and belting out the 'Barbie' standout song ... and he did it guns (n' roses) blazing.

The actor just got done performing 'I'm Just Ken' during Sunday's broadcast -- and it was as epic as everyone expected ... with the Ry Guy fully committing to the bit ... and rocking the house with some killer vocals and even better backing musicians, including Slash!

Indeed ... the top hat-rockin' rocker joined Ryan onstage to play some live guitar, and he absolutely shredded as RG belted out the fan fave from the biggest blockbuster last year.

Ryan even came down to the front row -- where he had Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig help him sing the tune. And yes, he was fully decked out in all-pink wardrobe for the ditty.

For a little while, it was unclear whether Ryan was actually gonna do 'IJK' at the Oscars -- but in the end ... he finally signed on, and his costar Margot just recently reassured everyone he was itching to do it ... despite him kinda playing coy throughout this year's award season.

It was one of the only 'Barbie' highlights of the night thus far -- Billie Eilish just won Best Song, for 'What Was I Made For,' but it's been fairly quiet for the doll crew otherwise.

We'll see if 'Barbie' ends up getting some love for Best Picture ... or if 1 Oscar is it.

John Cena went from ass-naked to looking like a good old-fashioned Greek philosopher in record time at the Oscars -- and the wardrobe change was actually caught on camera.

The wrestler-turned-actor was on hand Sunday for a pretty cringe-worthy bit where he was supposed to run across the stage naked for the Best Costume Design category ... which ended with JC shuffling across the stage with the winner's envelope covering his privates.

The whole gag here was that John was in his birthday suit, and he was there to highlight the best costumes in movies -- something Jimmy Kimmel had to come and help him with.

Once the screen was overtaken with the nominee montage and it flashed back to Jimmy and John onstage -- the WWE star was suddenly in a toga-like getup ... and it happened fast.

As it turns out ... it was something people BTS had to rush out and assist with in a matter of seconds -- which was caught on camera by someone at Vulture. The room went dark at this moment -- which we didn't see in the broadcast -- and John sure looked nude.

Funny enough, he's actually the 2nd "naked" famous buff dude on TV this weekend -- Josh Brolin stripped down as well during his 'SNL' hosting gig, albeit leaving his undies on.

Here's to the hunky old guys showing off what their mama gave them ... cheers.

Hollywood is emptying the tank ... partying almost nonstop before the Oscars begin, and the celebs are often running into the same faces at every stop on the circuit.

Check out the fame parade that went down at a Bev Hills house party on Saturday -- Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez were there with their pals Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble ... while Andy Cohen, Rumer Willis, Tracee Ellis Ross, Nicky Hilton and Kathy Hilton also filed into the event.

Flip through the galleries, 'cause there were way more partygoers on hand than we can mention.

Later on, some of those same people made costume changes and headed to the Beverly Hills Hotel for Chanel's pre-Oscars event.

Newlyweds Usher and Jennifer Goicoechea rubbed elbows with the likes of Best Supporting Actor nominee Robert De Niro, Lily-Rose Depp and Kristen Stewart, Willem Dafoe, Sánchezos (Lauren & Jeff) again and Best Supporting Actress nominee America Ferrera.

And, after all that ... the party train was far from done.

Next stop ... the famed Chateau Marmont where Willem made another appearance on Saturday night, and other guests included "Foodgod" Jonathan Cheban, Lil Nas X, Alessandra Ambrosio, Billy Zane, Abigail Spencer and Jodie Turner-Smith.

If this all sounds exhausting it's only because it probably is -- it's the show (your face) part of showbiz, and it's a big part of what makes Hollywood go 'round.

Jimmy Kimmel took some light-hearted shots during his opening Oscars monologue -- but the highlight was probably his reflection on the strikes last year ... for a variety of reasons.

The recurring host -- who was back for yet another gig this year -- kicked things off Sunday by actually running a little bit late ... but once he got going, he was ready to make some jabs and crack some jokes ... most of which landed fairly well with the star-studded crowd.

Jimmy mentioned the fact that Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were snubbed this year -- chiding the audience who seemed to agree, since a lot of them are voters -- and he even poked fun at Robert Downey Jr. at one point ... referencing his previous drug use.

Jimmy referenced an old dog-themed movie RDJ was in -- and said if he was ever to remake it ... he know the perfect candidate ... highlighting the dog from 'Anatomy of a Fall.'

The guy hopscotched around in his monologue, but eventually landed on the SAG and WGA strikes -- which consumed much of entertainment in 2023 ... and which created a lengthy work stoppage in Hollywood as labor union honchos and studio execs negotiated new deals.

Jimmy sounded sincere in shouting out everyone who remained on picket lines through that difficult period -- but, of course, he eventually gave kudos in a funny, backhanded way.

Check it out ... Jimmy says the strikes taught everyone a good lesson about what they were made of -- namely, a lot of guts ... even though he said no one would ever be able to pick up a shovel. Jimmy also used a lot of colorful descriptors in patting everyone on the back.

You gotta see it to understand what we mean ... it was both graceful, and pretty insulting.

Jimmy ended on a high note, though, when he brought out a bunch of crew members who work behind the scenes ... saying he appreciated their support through the strikes. Looks like everyone else felt the same way -- 'cause all the production people got a standing O.

Hollywood está de fiesta, y la cosa está muy animada momentos antes que empiecen los Oscars. Las celebridades se miran las caras y se encuentran entre las miles de fotos.

Jeff Bezos y Lauren Sánchez estuvieron allí con sus amigos Kris Jenner y Corey Gamble, mientras que Andy Cohen, Rumer Willis, Tracee Ellis Ross, Nicky Hilton y Kathy Hilton también asistieron al evento.

Échale un vistazo a las galerías, porque hubo muchos más asistentes de los que pudimos mencionar.

Más tarde, algunas de esas mismas personas hicieron cambios de vestuario y se dirigieron al Hotel Beverly Hills para el evento pre-Oscars de Chanel.

Los recién casados Usher y Jennifer Goicoechea se codearon con personajes de la talla de Robert De Niro -nominado a Mejor Actor de Reparto- Lily-Rose Depp y Kristen Stewart, Willem Dafoe, Sánchezos (Lauren & Jeff) de nuevo y America Ferrera, nominada a Mejor Actriz de Reparto.

Y, después de todo eso, el tren de la fiesta estuvo lejos de terminar.

La siguiente parada fue el famoso Chateau Marmont, donde Willem hizo otra aparición en la noche del sábado, y otros invitados incluyeron Lil Nas X, Alessandra Ambrosio, Billy Zane, Abigail Spencer y Jodie Turner-Smith.

Si todo esto te parece agotador es porque probablemente lo sea: es la parte del mundo del espectáculo en la que hay que dar la cara, y es una gran parte de lo que hace girar a Hollywood.

As Hollywood's rich and famous trickle in for the Oscars this weekend -- a massive protest is going down just a stone's throw away ... with folks hitting the streets to speak on Palestine.

A huge demonstration is unfolding about a mile away from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood Sunday -- at none other than the Dome Entertainment Centre, in fact -- where hundreds of people gathered with signage, megaphones and Palestinian flags ... while up in arms.

Of course, this is a pro-Palestine protest -- one that's been organized by groups like Writers Against the War on Gaza LA, Film Workers for Palestine, SAG-AFTRA Members for Ceasefire and others ... with their main message being, "No awards during a genocide!"

Another tagline being used for this protest ... "While You're Watching Bombs Are Dropping."

It goes without saying ... these folks are protesting against the ongoing war in the Middle East -- this as Gaza continues to be under siege as Israel seeks to eradicate Hamas.

As you can see ... tensions were high here, as people chanted and made their voices heard ahead of the biggest night in Hollywood. The Oscars are just about an hour from starting.

Unfortunately for these demonstrators, they won't be getting much closer to the actual Oscars venue itself -- the Dolby Theater is blocked off by cops, who've set a wide perimeter ... and who are standing guard with their riot gear ready to go in case things escalate.

Meanwhile ... the stars are getting ready for the big show -- lots of red-carpet arrivals are happening right now ... and they don't seem too worried about the ruckus up the block.
