Unfortunately, Emma left her seat in the theater at the exact wrong time. Stone was elated when “Poor Thing” won its first Oscar for best makeup and hairstyling, running toward the lobby’s television screen with wide eyes. But the actress was also horrified at not being present.
“My God, my God, we won and I wasn’t sitting down,” Stone lamented to the lobby monitor, his eyes watering and his hand on his head. He explained to no one in particular: “Sorry, we went to the bathroom and missed this. We can’t go in now. They won’t let us, right?

Her husband Dave McCary brought sparkling wine and the two toasted to celebrate. Florence Pugh also joined the growing team with Eva Longoria behind her. Pugh laughed out loud about a nearly naked John Cena on stage presenting the best costume.

Speaking of Stone, the actress discussed her wardrobe difficulties backstage and begged the audience, during her best actress acceptance speech, not to look at the back of her dress. Stone continued to blame the tear on her cheering during Gosling’s performance of “I’m Just Ken.”

When they got up, she tried to fix the dress. Lanthimos wasn’t entirely successful, but they shared a long hug and Stone blew kisses at Lanthimos as she walked away from her.

If you watched at home, you saw Gosling’s epic (and, dare we say, Oscar-historical) performance of “I’m Just Ken” and plenty of dancing Kens.
We knew it was going to be special when we saw the dancing Kens practicing their moves right outside the auditorium until the moment they took the stage, dressed in their fantastic Ken cowboy hats. After the impressive performance, the 64 dancers became rowdy outside the auditorium, waving their arms. They gathered in an ecstatic circle, jumping and shouting, “Ken! Acquaintance! Acquaintance! Acquaintance!”
The Ken-ergy was even bigger among the public. The stars pulled out their smartphones and stood to listen to Gosling’s raucous number. Later, Gosling’s sister Mandi danced down the aisle to Icona Pop’s “I Love It” in her new black cowboy hat. “Barbie” star Margot Robbie spoke with director Greta Gerwig, open-mouthed and beaming as they held hands in complete amazement at what they had just seen on stage.

In the auditorium, the crowd was instantly on its feet when Randolph’s name was called, while her friend Nyong’o danced happily on stage.

Ariana Grande is the last to sit down, the first to leave
Leave it to “Wicked” star Ariana Grande to close out the Oscars. Grande was the last star to sit down at the start of the show, plopping into her seat in her flowy pink Giambattista Valli couture dress just as the giant clock on stage marked 4 seconds until broadcast.
Grande was also the first star to leave the show, leaving for a VIP exit just before the final award. The “Thank U, Next” singer talked to a fan in the lobby as she left, but then she hiked up her dress and headed to a special elevator for that car ride.
