Internet accuses Tim Robbins of 'jinxing' Robert De Niro's shot at winning Oscars 2024 with tele prompter mishap
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tim Robbins took the stage on March 10 for the Oscars 2024 in order to pay tribute to Robert De Niro. However, a mini-mishap on Tim's part has landed him on the wrong side of the internet, where he is getting mercilessly trolled.
When Tim was presenting the supporting actor acting categories, he made the mistake of referring to Robert's performance in 'Killers of the Flower Moon' as "Oscar-winning" rather than "Oscar-worthy." Everyone laughs away, with the exception of a glum Robert.
