Just before she was to present best documentary feature, Greta Gerwig was having her makeup touched up _ "I did you on 'No Strings Attached!'" the makeup artist reminded the actress _ when co-presenter Laura Dern arrived backstage. Gerwig was jittery with excitement.
"I can't breathe in," she said with a smile.
"I know," Dern said. "I wish I didn't wear eyeglasses."
"When we walk out, should we hold hands?" Dern asked Gerwig. "I think arm-in-arm is awkward." She noticed a clutch of reporters observing the actresses' conversation and asked for advice.
"Holding hands? That's cute, right?"
"We crowdsourced it!" Gerwig said.
Just as they made their decision, an accountant from Price Waterhouse Cooper handed Dern the envelope. "Can you confirm that this is for documentary feature?" the accountant asked the actress.
Because we aren't playing around with those envelopes this year, y'all.
