During the recent Oscars ceremony, there was a buzz surrounding Messi the dog, a standout from Justine Triet's film 'Anatomy of a Fall.' Despite initial rumors suggesting Messi would not be in attendance, the beloved 7-year-old border collie made a surprise appearance early in the show, seated in a prime aisle spot near the stage.
However, it was later revealed that some movie magic was at play. An Associated Press photographer shared that Messi was strategically positioned for a 'cut in' reaction shot about 45 minutes before the show began. Additionally, a crew member was involved in creating the illusion of clapping paws during the broadcast.
