After the 96th Academy Awards, viewers on social media had a lot to say after actress Michelle Yeoh handed Emma Stone’s Oscar to Jennifer Lawrence, who then gave the award to the Best Actress winner. Some argued that the Everything Everywhere All at Once star snubbed Stone by giving her award to Lawrence to hand over. But according to Yeoh, that’s not what happened at all.
Yesterday on Instagram, the 61-year-old (who made history as the first-ever Asian woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress last year) posted a slideshow filled with photos taken at the 2024 Oscars. The first photo showed Yeoh hugging Stone after she announced her as the winner.
