Emma Stone on Oscars mix-up: 'It was just so horrible'

Following the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, 'La La Land' star Emma Stone said she considers the Oscars fiasco to be one of the "most horrible moments" of her life.

The flame-haired beauty was named Best Actress for her lead role in the drama, but admitted her night was tarnished by the Best Picture farce.

The 28-year-old star said the embarrassing gaffe was: "One of the most horrible moments of my life. Wow! It was just so horrible."

By contrast, Jimmy Kimmel - who presented the awards ceremony at the Dolby Theatre - said he was "trying really hard not to laugh" during the incident.

He shared: "[It] is unusual, but you figure, 'Well, the host will go onstage and clear this up.' And then I remembered, 'Oh! I'm the host!'

"... Now so we have the producers of two movies on stage. Who the hell even knows who is who from which movie? 

"I'm standing there [on stage] like an idiot, feeling bad for these guys, but also trying really hard not to laugh, to be honest."

The Academy released a statement about the Best Picture category error. Read the statement in full here.
