Michelle Yeoh's Heartwarming BFF Moment at the Oscars 2024

The Oscars are all about the glitz, glam, and tear-jerking speeches. But this year, one little moment totally stole the whole show and had everyone’s hearts bursting with warmth – when Michelle Yeoh handed the Best Actress Oscar to Jennifer Lawrence first before passing it to the actual winner, Emma Stone!

The Unexpected Oscar Switcheroo

As Michelle took the stage to announce who won Best Actress, no one saw this move coming. Instead of just giving the iconic golden Oscar statue straight to Emma for her incredible performance in “Poor Things,” Michelle turned right to Jennifer and placed the Oscar in Jen’s hands first!

Michelle Explains Her Sweet Reason

After the big ceremony, Michelle went on Instagram to let all her fans in on the heartwarming secret behind that surprising Oscar handoff moment. She said she wanted to share that once-in-a-lifetime, super exciting Oscar spotlight with not just Emma, but her “best friend Jennifer” too. Michelle revealed she did it because it reminded her of her own amazingly close bond with Jamie Lee Curtis, her co-star in their movie “Everything Everywhere All At Once.”
