Oscar viewers were left puzzled on Sunday as to why Emma Stone didn't receive her award directly from Michelle Yeoh, leading to speculations of racial bias.
'I wanted to share that wonderful moment when I handed you the Oscar with your best friend Jennifer!!! Sorry for the confusion but I wanted to share that wonderful moment when I handed you the Oscar with your best friend Jennifer!!!'
Also presenting on stage on Sunday were Sally Field (Best Actress winner for 'Norma Rae' in the 1980s and 'Places in the Heart' in 1985), Charlize Theron (Best Actress winner for 'Monster' in 2004), and Jessica Lange (Best Supporting Actress for 'Blue Sky' in 1995 and 'Tootsie' in 1983).
This is her second Oscar, following her win for 'La La Land' in 2017. She was also nominated for 'The Favourite' in 2019 and 'Birdman' in 2015.
'I'm sharing this with you,' she said to Gladstone. 'I'm in awe of you. And to do this together was truly an honor; I hope we can do more together.'
