In a video posted to Instagram by Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel on Sunday, the late evening comedian requested Messi, the canine star of Best Picture nominee Anatomy of a Fall, to carry his leg on a couple of joke concepts.
“What do you think of this?” Kimmel requested. “Casting is a huge part of any film. Without casting directors, how on Earth would Bradley Cooper have thought to cast Bradley Cooper as Leonard Bernstein in Maestro?”
Messi didn’t react, so Kimmel tried once more. “Okay, let me attempt one other one: Casting is a fragile artwork. When you get it proper, actors disappear into their roles. When you get it unsuitable, your viewers asks questions like, ‘Why do all the teenagers in Grease look like they’ve obtained children and a reverse mortgage?’ “
Still nothing from Messi.
Kimmel gave it one final shot. “Okay, maybe this one you’ll like: If you think the show feels overly drawn out to you, imagine how Messi feels right now. In dog years, this show is five and a half months long!”
Messi a bark of approval. “Oh good, okay, we got a winner,” Kimmel mentioned.
