Martin Scorsese sent Twitter alight after appearing to fall asleep during Eminem’s eclectic performance of Lose Yourself at the Oscars last night.
The iconic director – whose Netflix film The Irishman was up for 10 nominations – was in the crowd in Hollywood to watch the rapper’s surprise appearance at the 92nd Academy Awards.
But at the grand old age of 77, the legendary rapper’s head rocking track – which won Best Original Song way back in 2003 – didn’t quite seem to click with Scorsese.
As Eminem belted out the famous lyrics, cameras caught the director with his eyes closed before blearily opening them again.

The moment happened for just a few seconds but it was enough to see thousands of people talk about it on Twitter.
“Martin Scorsese wondering if he went to the wrong show,” one wrote.
Another commented: “I never much cared for Martin Scorsese before I saw him listening to Eminem at the Oscars.”
A third added: “Martin Scorsese definitely not getting an acting award for pretending to enjoy Eminem.”
