Michelle Yeoh Explains Why She Handed Emma Stone's Oscar To Jennifer Lawrence
HuffPost
Yeoh made a last-second decision at Sunday's ceremony that caused confusion.
Michelle Yeoh is clearing up confusion about what really happened while presenting Emma Stone with the best actress Oscar.
On Sunday night, the “Everything, Everywhere All At Once” star, who was holding the statuette, handed Jennifer Lawrence the Oscar first — so Lawrence could give it to her “best friend” herself.
“Congratulations Emma!!” Yeoh wrote Monday on Instagram. “I confused you , but I wanted to share that glorious moment of handing over Oscar to you together with your best friend Jennifer!! She reminded me of my Bae Jamie Lee Curtis.”
“Bae” is an term of endearment that means “before anyone else.”
The 96th Academy Awards ceremony kept with tradition in having prior winners present the Oscar in various categories. Yeoh, who won best actress for “Everything, Everywhere All At Once” last year, nonetheless chose to remove herself from the moment.
