A canine featured in a film that is up for an Oscar this 12 months reportedly ruffled feathers at an awards occasion final month — the place different contenders acquired pissed off for him being a great boy.

Back in mid-February … the border collie from ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ — whose actual identify is Messi however who goes by Snoop within the movie — made an look on the Oscars luncheon … the place he was an enormous hit with all the celebs, particularly with Ryan Gosling, who appeared fairly smitten with the pooch.

Nothing flawed with bringing the canine from the movie to make just a little cameo for a pre-Oscars powwow proper??? WRONG!!!! At least that is how some felt about it behind the scenes.

According to THR, manufacturing corporations (and presumably studios) which have movies up for Academy Awards apparently complained about Messi’s presence on the luncheon … griping that the canine being there and being so in style was giving his movie an unfair benefit.

The canine confirmed up when Oscar voting was nonetheless occurring — and per THR, a number of corporations with their hat within the ring complained to Academy honchos about it.

Fast-forward to at the moment — and the latest information is that Messi might be MIA from Sunday’s ceremony … a bummer, in fact. Whether that call has something to do with the luncheon “scandal” … jury’s out. THR reviews the luncheon factor had at all times been deliberate to be a one-off for Messi — but when his being there angered that many individuals, who is aware of!

BTW, this canine is tremendous proficient — and a few have joked that it’d really be worthy of an Oscar nod itself. If you have not seen ‘Anatomy’ but … there is a memorable scene with the canine, the place it nearly overdoses on aspirin … and it performs out wanting scarily actual.

As it seems … that is as a result of it was, that means the canine was really enjoying lifeless. A BTS have a look at how that got here to fruition surfaced this week — and it is fairly fascinating. Smart pup!
