Oscar 2024: Messi, the dog from ‘Anatomy of a Fall’, did attend the ceremony

Messi attended the Oscars 2024, but it is not the Argentine soccer player, but rather a peculiar namesake who was part of the film “Anatomy of a Fall.” The border collier breed dog named ‘Messi’ was able to attend the gala and was placed in a preferential area to witness the ceremony.

In the Oscar-nominated film, the dog plays ‘Snoop’, the protagonist’s family pet. In his scenes, the dog performs some actions that he learned during arduous training.

“IT’S MESSIIIIII! “It is already located and ready to enjoy the night of the #Oscars,” points out TNT’s publication on its official Instagram account, where it shared a photograph of the dog and its location at the ceremony.

As expected, many people celebrated the dog’s appearance at the gala and many asked that he be given an Oscar award.

It is worth remembering that the presence of ‘Messi’ at the gala has generated great sympathy with the fans; However, it has also upset some circles. Apparently, some sectors of the Academy believed that its wide acceptance could give an unfair advantage to the French film.

At the 2024 Oscars, the French film “Anatomy of a Fall” has five nominations, such as: Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.
