Why Michelle Yeoh Gave Emma Stone’s Oscar to Jennifer Lawrence | THR News Video

Michelle Yeoh is clearing up any confusion over why she handed Emma Stone’s Oscar to Jennifer Lawrence just before Stone accepted the trophy for best actress at the Academy Awards. Former best actress Oscar winners Sally Field, Charlize Theron, Jessica Lange and Lawrence took a moment to introduce each of this year’s nominees, with last year’s winner Michelle Yeoh set to hand the trophy to the winner. When Stone’s name was called, Yeoh took an extra second to hand the trophy to Jennifer Lawrence instead, but it’s actually for a sentimental reason.
