The 96th Annual Academy Awards ceremony was held on the 11th, featuring the film "Anatomy of a Fall" with the participation of the sheepdog Messi.
Previously, there were rumors that Messi was too adorable, so many film studios opposed and refused to attend because of "unhealthy competition." But yesterday, Messi was seen dressed smartly, wearing a dignified bow tie!
The video clip of Messi's "clapping scene" has been widely circulated and received a lot of attention from everyone...
You can see Messi sitting obediently among the audience watching the awards ceremony, even stretching out his "dog legs" during the clapping session. People around were also very surprised.
However, the truth is:
The two "dog feet" are actually manipulated by backstage staff to help Messi clap. Many netizens praised the Oscars for their creativity, Messi played a very important role in the film, and they wanted to do something to make Messi noticed and recognized.
Netizens also praised Messi's adorable appearance as he obediently sat in the stands: "Messi is the real star tonight", "The best moment at the Oscar ceremony."
In fact, Messi's outstanding performance won him the Palm Dog Award in 2023. This award is specially given to dogs with excellent performances in films. Seven-year-old Messi has unlimited potential, and his owner is a professional dog trainer. When asked how to train Messi to be so smart, his owner happily shared: "It's all thanks to rewards of treats."
