When the nominations for the 2024 Oscars were revealed, there was anticipation for significant moments. However, no one expected that a dog with a bow would steal the spotlight. It’s reminiscent of the last time a dog caught our attention in entertainment, like Tuffy from Hum Aapke Hain Koun, who was a regular mention on Koffee with Karan’s rapid fire segment. This time, it’s all about Messi, the adorable dog who became the center of attention at the Oscars.
Messi, a border collie who has won everyone’s hearts, played a service dog in the movie Anatomy of a Fall. To everyone’s surprise, he was seated among the actors in the audience at the 96th Academy Awards. What stood out the most was his composure and natural presence, as if he knew he deserved to be there – and indeed, he did. His confidence was truly inspiring.
Naturally, having a dog around brings sweet and heartwarming moments, especially at an event like the Oscars. Messi was seen clapping after Robert Downey Jr.’s speech, creating a delightful visual moment. This unexpected occurrence has made the year 2024 quite exciting right from the start.
