There was one stand-out from the Oscar nominations ceremony this morning, and that was Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs mispronouncing Dick Pope’s name as “Dick Poop.”
It didn’t take long for the name to start trending on Twitter and many Twitter users to comment on the embarrassing gaffe.
Isaacs, standing with actor Chris Pine at the podium, was reading the nominees for the Cinematography category when she read off Mr. Turner. But unfortunately for Dick Pope, this slip-up will go down in history with Idina Menzel’s Adele Dazeem.
Here are some of the best reactions.
Dick Poop sums up these Oscar nominations quite nicely.

Guys, we just Googled Dick Poop to see if he was real. Take it from us: don't go there. DO NOT GO THERE.
