Emma Stone Reacts to Best Picture Mistake Between 'La La Land' _ 'Moonlight' Backstage at the Oscars

You guys see that? So, Emma, congratulations. Thank you. And Katrin from Germany. And I just wonder, how will you celebrate tonight and who will you call first after the show? My mom, for sure. And I'm going to go out with with a bunch of my friends and dance and drink champagne. That's pretty much the only plan. We'll go to 220 and then back to 133. I am. Hi. Hi. Congratulations. Thank you very much. David Onda from Comcast Xfinity. As what does it mean to you as one of the ones who dreamed to have won this award for playing this role that mimics what so many people in this city go through to get to the point of where you're standing right now? Well, it's I guess so real is probably the only way to to describe it. It was I mean, to to play this this woman, I knew this. I've lived here for 13 years. I moved when I was 15 to start auditioning, and I knew what it felt like to go on audition after audition. So, I mean, anything like this is pretty inconceivable in a, you know, in a realistic context. So right now, it still feels I had a really creepy little moment backstage, not to change the subject, but I just was like looking down at it like it was my newborn child. I was like, this is a statue of a naked man. Very creepy staring at it. So hopefully I'll look at a newborn child differently. But I mean, it's just yeah, it's it's incredibly surreal. I don't have the benefit of hindsight yet. Sorry if that's a terrible answer. Turned it into a naked man story. Going to 133 and then down to 266. Who are in the back? How are you doing? How are you doing? You know, it's a dream to get an Oscar. Did you ever dream like that? And was it a dream when they announced, you know, as the best picture? La la la. And it didn't win. OK, so yes, of course. I'm an actor. I've always dreamt of this kind of thing. But again, not in a realistic context. And for that, I ******* love Moonlight. God, I love Moonlight so much. I am so excited for Moonlight. And of course, you know, it was an amazing thing to hear La La Land. I think we all would have loved to win Best Picture. But we are so excited for Moonlight. I think it's one of the best films of all time. So I was pretty beside myself. I also was holding my best actress in a leading role card that entire time. So whatever story, I don't mean to start stuff, but whatever story that was, I had that card. So I'm not sure what happened. And I really wanted to talk to you guys first. Yeah. Congratulations, Moonlight. We're coming to 266 and then we'll go back to 74. Hi, Emma. Congratulations. Thank you. And for Elle.com, could you just speak a little bit to what the atmosphere was like after that happened? I think the atmosphere in here was crazy. I think everyone's in a state of confusion, still excitement, but confusion. So there's no real I don't really have a gauge of the atmosphere quite yet. I need to, you know, check in. But I think I think everyone is just so excited, so excited for Moonlight. It's just such an incredible film. Sorry. We're going to 74 and then 149. Thank you. Congratulations on the award. A question from Bulgaria. Oh, how much does an Oscar cost in terms of sacrifice and discipline? Oh, my God. Is that measurable? I don't I don't know. I guess it depends on the Oscar for in in my life. I have been beyond lucky with the people around me, with the friends and family that I have and the people that have lifted me up throughout my life. So in terms of sacrifice, those people are all sitting back in a room right now and I get to go celebrate with them. And it's felt like the most joyous thing. So, I mean, being a creative person does not feel like a like a sacrifice to me. It's it's the great joy of my life. And so, I mean, I don't know if that's a, you know, good answer to that question, but I've been I've been very lucky in terms of that. We're going here to 149 and then to 66. Hi, I'm Steve Futterman from CBS News. Congratulations on your award. Thank you. I I'm just wondering, as a performer, as someone who's been in Hollywood, you've experienced many things before. Are you able to give us sort of a word picture of what it was like? I timed it, by the way. Two minutes and 30 seconds. La La Land was best picture of the year. What was it like on stage when you first thought you won? You didn't win. I know you're taking it in good stride and everything. Again, I don't know if this is a measurable question. Is that the craziest Oscar moment of all time? Cool. Yes, we made history tonight. Craziest moment. And again, I mean, I don't I don't even know what to say. I think I was still on such a buzzy train backstage that I was, you know, on another planet already. So this is all just felt like another planet. But again, kind of moonlight. I'm so excited. So it's you know, I think it's an incredible outcome, but very, a very strange happening for Oscar history. Thank you. We're going back to 66 and then we do have to end with 277 over here. Hello. My name is Tammy. I'm from Hong Kong's Apple Daily. Congratulations on your win. Thank you. My question is, do you feel like owing Emma Watson a drink or dinner to thank her for turning down the road? Oh, my God. You know what? She's doing great. She's the coolest. She's Belle. I mean, I think it's all right. It's all good. I think she's amazing. And we'll wrap it up down front to your left. Congratulations, Emma Francisco. I think there are beads of sweat dripping down my face. No, no. You look beautiful. Amazing. Congratulations. Thank you. Being on the top of the world right now. What does it combo you? Well, you know, we have a nice little jarring moment that's just, you know, it's very it feels like real life. But everything kind of feels like real life. Like this is an incredible, incredible honor. And, you know, in many ways, game changing for me personally, but it's also just still me. And again, back to the people that I love, like nothing changes when I go home, nothing's going to change at all. So I don't know that there's a humbling moment. It's just already like feels ridiculous in the best way. Thank you. Thank you so much. And congratulations. Thank you.
