The best picture category wasn't the only category last night where each nominee wasn't named. When \"Wicked\" stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo announced Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell as the winners for best original song, they didn't go back and name all the nominees. However, all the songs in the category were performed that night.

In his statement, Pacino said he recognizes that being nominated at the Oscars is a big moment. Pacino won the best actor Oscar in 1993 for \"Scent of a Woman.\"

\"I realize being nominated is a huge milestone in one's life and to not be fully recognized is offensive and hurtful,\" he said. \"I say this as someone who profoundly relates with filmmakers, actors and producers so I deeply empathize with those who have been slighted by this oversight and it's why I felt it necessary to make this statement.\"
