Michelle Yeoh attempted to clear the air after claims that Emma Stone snubbed her onstage when Yeoh presented her with the best actress award at the Oscars Sunday. The best actress awards presentation differed this year as five previous winners introduced and addressed this year's nominees before the most recent winner — in this case, Yeoh for 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' — announced the winner.
In footage from the event, Stone approaches Yeoh onstage, moving to accept the statue from her. In an awkward exchange, Yeoh holds onto the golden statue while seemingly trying to hand it to Jennifer Lawrence — to then give to Stone, who won for her performance in 'Poor Things.' After embracing Lawrence and Sally Fields, Stone briefly acknowledges Yeoh and previous winners Jessica Lange and Charlize Theron before moving toward the microphone to accept the award.
