Monday’s 2024 Oscar nominees luncheon gathered together some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, but none of them eclipsed Messi the dog.
The border collie breakout star of Best Picture nominee Anatomy of a Fall showed up to support his movie being nominated for numerous Oscars, and the young pup was the talk of the town as he arrived for the luncheon.
Messi’s performance in Anatomy of a Fall is genuinely one of the most impressive aspects of an already stellar movie, as the good pup’s portrayal of Snoop pretty much rivals any animal performance ever committed to film. He’s that good.
Messi’s day at the Oscar luncheon looked quite eventful, and we’ve got the best highlights from this very good boy’s special afternoon below.
