“I f–king love Moonlight. I’m so excited for Moonlight. It was an amazing thing to hear La La Land. We all would have loved to won Best Picture,” she told reporters backstage after the flub in which Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway erroneously deemed La La Land the winner.
“I also was holding my Best Actress in a Leading Role card the whole time. I’m not sure what happened, but I really wanted to talk to you guys first,” Stone explained, adding, “I think everyone’s in a state of confusion still. Excitement but confusion. I think everyone is just so excited for Moonlight. It’s such an incredible film.”
Beatty apologised to the audience directly following the flub, explaining that he was given the wrong envelope and was confused.
Last year’s Best Actor winner, Leonardo DiCaprio, presented Stone with her Best Actress award, and a rep for The Revenant star confirms that he also gave her the card that declared her the winner.
“He gave the card directly to Emma and said ‘You are going to want to keep this,’ ” the rep tells PEOPLE.
