Despite being one of the most publicised events on the entertainment calendar, not everything that happens on 2024 Oscars night makes it on-screen.

Emma Stone accepted her award with a broken dress

Visible surprise was etched onto Emma Stone’s face as her second Oscar win was announced. Stone won the award for Best Actress for her role in Poor Things, and delivered an emotional speech on the podium, all the while her custom Louis Vuitton dress had suffered from a malfunction and busted the zip at the rear. Stone admitted it might have happened “during ‘I’m Just Ken.’” Bad timing but a very understandable reason.

50 years later, Jimmy Kimmel reminded everyone of the Oscar streaker

Martin Scorsese consoled Lily Gladstone

On Oscars night the award for Best Actress was tipped to be one of the hardest to call. Both Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone had received widespread praise for their roles in Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon respectively. After Stone was announced as the winner, amid all the buzz after the speech, director of Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese was first to go to Gladstone and offer his support. What the acclaimed director said to Gladstone, we’ll likely never know, but from body language alone, you know it was something special.
