Emma Stone Reacts To Rumor She Called Jimmy Kimmel A Prick At The Oscars

Emma Stone is finally addressing her recent viral moment at the Oscars .

The Poor Things star is used to being on camera but had no idea she got caught reacting to a joke about it during the ceremony, that her inaudible comment went viral or led online sleuths to speculate she called host Jimmy Kimmel a prick for it.

Stone appeared annoyed after a montage for the Best Picture nominee ended, and Kimmel joked: Those were all the parts of Poor Things that were allowed to show on TV. In an interview Wednesday with The Hollywood Reporter, however, she cleared things up.

Did he upset me? Stone asked her interviewer , The Curse co-star Nathan Fielder, who clarified that some people thought she insulted Kimmel.

No! I didnt call him a prick, she said. What did I say? I didnt call him a prick. I wasnt upset with him at all. Ill have to look that up.

Poor Things was nominated for 11 awards at this years Academy Awards and garnered Stone her second Best Actress statue. The 35-year-old previously won for La La Land but appeared genuinely emotional after beating fellow nominee Lily Gladstone this time around.

You are all incredible, and the women in this category Lily, I share this with you, Stone said at the podium . I am in awe of you, and it has been such an honor to do all of this together. I hope we get to keep doing more together. I dont know what Im saying.

While she also cant remember her earlier comments that evening, Stone understands how quickly these moments can garner traction and publicly regretted making headlines for jokingly calling her friend Taylor Swift an asshole at the Golden Globes earlier this year.

Fielder has nothing but praise for Stone and said shes always down for a joke.

And this is something that you would think someone whos making work at her level would be like, Do I want to put myself in this situation? Do I want to do this? he said Wednesday. But if she hears something funny, shes like, Yes, right away. She doesnt consult.

Fielder continued, She doesnt analyze. She knows what makes sense to her.
