Jodie Foster and Jennifer Lawrence were the presenters for Best Actress category on the 90th Academy Awards, Sunday night.
The two addressed Foster’s injury onstage with Lawrence asking, “I’m so sorry, what happened to you?”
“Streep!” Foster teased. “She I, Tonya’d me.” The joke was obviously a reference to the Oscar-nominated movie that tells the story of Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in the midst of the infamous attack on Nancy Kerrigan in 1994.
“She tripped me once,” Lawrence added.
Foster’s rep told ET that she took a fall while skiing a few weeks ago, which forced her to use crutches at the Oscars.
Both of them presented the Best Actress award to Frances McDormand for her role Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Many people were left wondering when McDormand concluded her acceptance speech, saying, “I have two words for you: inclusion rider.”
“An inclusion rider is something actors put into their contracts to ensure gender and racial equality in hiring on movie sets,” comedian Whitney Cummings explained via Twitter. “We should support this for a billion reasons, but if you can’t find a reason to, here’s one: it will make movies better.”
