Messi - the Border Collie in the movie Anatomy of a Fall, is a character that plays a big role in this Oscar-winning screenplay.
Messi was also awarded the Palm Dog at Cannes for best performance by a dog on screen.
Before the Oscars took place, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Messi the dog would not be allowed to attend the awards ceremony because many film producers were concerned that the dog would cause bias for the film he participated in.

The concerns of these filmmakers are not without basis because one month before the Oscars, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences "specially" awarded the dog an Oscar for the category of Best Dog on Screen this year.
Messi causes a stir when attending Oscar 2024
However, luckily for the audience watching the 2024 Oscars, in addition to attending the awards ceremony in person, he was also given a seat in the auditorium as a real actor and filmmaker.

He appeared with a bow tie on his chest, looking like he was wearing a formal tuxedo. Messi's presence was also announced to attendees by this year's Oscar host - Jimmy Kimmel.
The male MC also commented: "Even though he's just a dog, our Messi gave the performance of the year in the movie Anatomy of a Fall."
From that moment on, almost all attention was on this hairy but talented actor.

His most memorable moment at the Oscars was probably when Robert Downey Jr. accepted the award for Best Supporting Actor.
At that time, the program's camera panned to Messi clapping to congratulate his colleague (because Messi is also an important supporting actor in Anatomy of a Fall).
Actor Ryan Gosling (famous for his roles in Blade Runner 2049, Drive) smiled brightly when he saw the dog on the big screen.
He previously had the opportunity to meet and play with Messi at a reception for Oscar-nominated actors and filmmakers last month.

In fact, Messi doesn't know how to clap like a human, so the production team specially prepared 2 prop legs to "support" him in clapping like a real person.
Despite being so obedient throughout the awards ceremony, Messi suddenly peed on the famous star of actor Matt Damon (famous for the movies The Martian, Good Will Hunting, the Jason Bourne series,...) after the 2024 Oscars.

In fact, this was a joke by MC Jimmy Kimmel because Matt Damon has been his close friend since his early days in showbiz.
The MC asked Messi's coach and owner, Laura Martinra, to signal Messi to go to the bathroom right next to the Hollywood star on the Walk of Fame of actor Matt Damon.
This funny moment was shared continuously on social networks and the "reputation" of four-legged actor Messi was still discussed even after the Oscars ended.
