The 2025 Academy Awards are one of the most anticipated events of the year, not just for movie lovers but for the general public as well. More than just an awards show, the Oscars are the highest recognition in the film industry, where the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honors the best films and artists worldwide.
Every nomination and golden statuette awarded not only celebrates talent but also marks key moments in cinema history. The excitement begins long before the winners are announced. The night kicks off with the iconic red carpet, where glamour, fashion, and elegance take center stage. Celebrities dazzle in breathtaking outfits, capturing the attention of millions of viewers around the world.
But award shows always bring unexpected moments—some serious, some funny, and sometimes even a little awkward. This year, one of those moments happened when the Academy’s official account mistakenly identified Selena Gomez’s fiancé, Benny Blanco, as Bad Bunny. Naturally, the mix-up didn’t go unnoticed, quickly sparking reactions, jokes, and comparisons on social media.
Some people have joked that the mix-up happened because they both have curly hair. Others think it might be due to their names, since Benny and Bad Bunny share a similar one—Benito. However, Benny is actually short for Benjamin.
At the end of the day, mistakes like this can happen, especially during such a big event. With the Academy’s team likely managing a flood of news and updates, it’s understandable that an error like this slipped through.
