Briefly

A seemingly tense exchange between Emma Stone and Margaret Qualley at the 2025 Oscars sparked interest, with a video quickly going viral. Lip reader Nicola Hickling clarified that while Qualley appeared confrontational, she was not actually fighting Stone. Instead, she reportedly said, 'Yeah and I am about to freak out.' Fans reacted on social media, interpreting the interaction in various ways, with some humorously suggesting that Qualley was ready for confrontation while others noted it was a common playful dynamic between the two.
"It looks like Margaret is about to square up in this scene, giving Emma her mean girl look. Don't worry, they are not fighting though. They do this all the time," Hickling explained.
"For a moment, I thought Margaret was ready to square up," one person wrote on TikTok.
"Omg with no sound on it looks like they are gonna fight so bad like Margaret kept walking towards Emma and looked like she was mad."
