”Anatomy of a Fall”one of the great protagonists of the next edition of the Oscar awards, will not be able to count on one of its stars at the ceremony: the dog Messi. The film has 5 nominations the highest award in the film industry, including best film.
Unfortunately, his presence at the Oscars it will not be possiblefor an incredible and unusual reason: several studios in charge of this year’s nominated films They complained to the Academy for allowing Messi to go to campaign events, claiming it gave an unfair advantage to the French film.
Although Academy representatives had no comment, a source for the Neon-distributed film says the dog’s recent stay in Hollywood, during which he outshone all the human actors at the annual nominees luncheon, was unique. That means those A-Listers who didn’t get face time with Messi will simply have to book a role in one of his future projects.
Messi, the most wanted dog
“All this attention started in Cannes”said the trainer and dog mother Laura Martin to The Hollywood Reporter in February. Cannes is where Anatomy of a Fall began its journey on the awards circuit, taking home the Palme d’Or, and where Messi earned his own unofficial award: the palm dog . “There were some interviews in France,” Martin continued, “but what we have been experiencing here in the United States (with the attention paid to this dog and the performance of him) is beyond what we anticipated. “It’s probably the most you can achieve in this field.”
His role in the legal thriller was a surprise to everyone, especially because a dramatic scene (to avoid spoilers) which was made without any special effects. This made Messi one of the favorites this year. And while his recent visit to the City of Angels was brief (Messi lives with Martín in Paris), he made the most of it. Throughout the whirlwind trip, Messi paid his dues by participating in a press conference, posed for photographs with Olivia Wilde at a live reading of the Anatomy of a Fall script, and enjoyed a day of rest on Venice Beach, where he paid tribute to Baywatch. Images of Messi channeling David Hasselhoff can be found on the Martin’s Instagram page (@lauramartin_contini).

But the highlight was the Oscar nominees’ luncheon, where in a viral clip, Ryan Gosling can be seen petting him. As well as, with Billie Eilish and Bradley Cooper: “The big moment was with Billie Eilish, who joined Messi for almost 10 minutes”said Martin. “They were hugging and caressing each other and really had a vibe. Then Bradley Cooper bumped into him in the hallway. The dog went straight for him, so they had a connection too.”
