THE OSCAR NOMINATIONS have just been announced and amongst the big names, one thing truly stood out.

While announcing the nominations with the hunky Chris Pine, President of the Academy Cheryl Boone Isaacs made an unfortunate slip of the tongue.

She meant to name Dick Pope as a nominee in the Best Cinematography category, for his work in Mr Turner. Who did she name instead? Er, Dick Poop.

Just in case you thought you were going mad, it did actually happen.

And everybody’s inner 12-year-old’s rejoiced:

We're looking forward to Dick Poop teaming up with Adele Dazeem to host next year's ceremony.

One of the biggest moments of Dick Pope's life, and it sounds like his name was pronounced "Dick Poop".
