Did Emma Stone Yell “I’m Sorry” About ‘Aloha’ At The Golden Globes?

Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh kicked off the 2019 Golden Globes with a monologue that was way more about niceness in Hollywood than being naughty, and it seems like someone in the audience — whom everyone thinks is Emma Stone — used the time to apologize for stealing an Asian-American part in Aloha.

The big joke propelling Samberg and Oh’s monologue was that they were going to “roast” the Hollywood stars in attendance, but all of their so-called slams were actually compliments. However, things got a little zippy once Oh, an Asian-Canadian actress, joked that nominated film Crazy Rich Asians was the first studio movie since Ghost in the Shell or Aloha to feature an Asian-American lead. (The joke, of course, being that both those films starred white actresses Scarlett Johansson and Emma Stone as characters written to be of Asian-descent.)

As soon as Oh landed the crack, a very loud, throaty “I’M SORRY!” could be heard from the audience in attendance. Since Johansson was not in attendance, the internet assumed that Golden Globe nominee Emma Stone was the contrite actress in question. The LA Times confirmed that Stone did in fact yell it. “It wasn’t like I planned it, but I did say it,” Stone said.

This is the first time either Samberg or Oh has hosted the Golden Globes, though Samberg did host the 2015 Emmys. Sandra Oh is nominated tonight in the Best Actress in a Television Drama for her work in Killing Eve.

This story has been updated to add Stone’s confirmation.
