Brief recap: After the show's host Jimmy Kimmel showed a montage of the Best Picture nominees — which included the film that Emma won Best Actress for, Poor Things — he joked, “Those were all the parts of Poor Things that we’re allowed to show on TV."

As the camera cut to Emma in the audience, the actor was caught remarking something to her husband Dave McCary — and some assumed that she was displeased with Jimmy and had called him a "prick."
