Emma later explained to Variety what caused her wardrobe mishap.
“They sewed me back in!” she exclaimed. “I genuinely do think I busted it during ‘I’m Just Ken.’”
She added: “I was so amazed by Ryan [Gosling] and what he was doing, and that number just blew my mind.”
Emma’s win came as somewhat of a surprise – including to herself – as Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone seemed poised to win the title. However, Emma still gave her fellow nominees a shoutout in her frantic yet heartfelt speech.
“Lily, I share this with you,” Emma said during her speech. “I’m in awe of you.”
Lily – who was raised on the Blackfeet Reservation – is the first Native-American to be nominated for the category.
The Martin Scorsese western crime drama she starred in with Leonardo DiCaprio followed the life of an Osage community in Oklahoma while it saw a spree of murders fueled by oil and greed consume the town.
Emma starred Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things, which follows a young woman brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist who runs off with a lawyer on a whirlwind adventure across continents.
