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.



 

On X, people asked, "Was it just me or did Robert De Niro look annoyed by Tim Robbins tribute? #Oscars (also LOL at the flub)." Another person chimed in, "Tim Robbins was drunk!" 



 



 

One person quipped, " Tim Robbins slipping and saying “Oscar winning” for Robert DeNiro:" A fourth person joked, "TIM ROBBINS: In the course of his amazing career, Robert DeNiro… [cut to Robert DeNiro looking like he hates Hollywood] "



 



 

Some user wrote, "When they announced Robert Downey Jr as the Oscar winner, DeNiro looked at Tim Robbins like “you just fu@&ing jinxed me.”" "Does Tim Robbins have the Oscar script???" asked another.
