Oscar 2025: The Intense Conversation Between Emma Stone and Margaret Qualley Goes Viral

The public’s attention was captured for the wrong reasons by the intense conversation between Emma Stone and Margaret Qualley on the sidelines of the glamorous Oscar awards ceremony. The 96th Academy Awards in 2025 featured memorable appearances, missed moments, and a scene away from the television cameras that went viral on social media, starring Emma Stone and Margaret Qualley. The expressions, movements, and gestures of both actors, as captured in a video on X (formerly Twitter), immediately sparked comments about whether it was a real argument or another theatrical moment. To interpret the dialogue between double Oscar winner Emma Stone and the star of ‘Substance,’ Margaret Qualley, lip-reading expert Nicola Higgingbotham stepped in. Speaking to the ‘Daily Mail,’ she revealed that despite the intense body language, there was no actual conflict. ‘It seems like Margaret is preparing to confront Emma with this “wild” look,’ Higgingbotham noted. However, she clarified that it wasn’t an argument: ‘Don’t worry, they’re not fighting. They do this all the time. In reality, Margaret is telling Emma “yes, and I’m ready to lose my mind.” Social media users were quick to comment on the incident. ‘Am I the only one who thinks they might kiss?’ one user wrote, while another added, ‘For a moment, I thought Margaret was ready to attack.’ Many linked her behavior to her role in ‘Substance,’ humorously commenting that ‘Substance had taken over her body’ and that she was ‘extremely intense. I don’t care what others say.’ ‘With the sound off, it looks like they’re about to fight. Margaret kept moving closer to Emma and appeared agitated, saying “really?” while another woman seemed to be trying to stop them,’ one person wrote. Another observer commented, ‘Why is Emma stepping back like that?’ ‘For your information, they do this almost at every award show. It’s their inside joke. Do some research before you comment,’ one user wrote, while another reminded everyone, ‘That’s how they play. There’s another video from an event where they do the same thing, but it’s clear they’re just joking around.’ Meanwhile, Margaret Qualley’s husband, Jack Antonoff, looked concerned from the sidelines.
