Emma Stone had an awkward moment as she accepted her Best Actress award at the 77th EE British Academy Film Awards on Sunday.
The Hollywood star, 35, took home the top prize for her role as Bella Baxter in sci-fi comedy Poor Things, but bumped into the cameraman as she jumped out of her seat as her name was announced.
The Cruella star could be seen gesturing to the camera before walking to the stage to collect her award.
After finally receiving her award, Emma thanked her mother Krista for believing in her dreams.
She said, “She kind of made me believe this crazy idea that I could do something like this.”

The La La Land actress said she was “impressed” by the entire team behind the surreal comedy, in which she plays a woman who is resuscitated and implanted with a baby’s brain.
Emma looked visibly pleased with herself as she entered the winners room during the ceremony.
Emma battled off competition from Maestro actress Carey Mulligan, Rye Lane’s Vivian Oparah, Barbie star Margot Robbie, Anatomy of a Fall actress Sandra Huller and former American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino – who was nominated for her role in The Color Purple – for the gong.
Meanwhile, Cillian Murphy won the Leading Actor Award at the BAFTAs.
The 47-year-old actor – who plays the title role in Christopher Nolan’s atomic bomb saga – accepted the award at the ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
He triumphed in a category that included Bradley Cooper for ‘Maestro’, Colman Domingo for ‘Rustin’, Paul Giamatti for ‘The Holdovers’, Barry Keoghan for ‘Saltburn’ and Teo Yoo for ‘Past Lives’.
Cillian won his award after Nolan paid tribute to his leading man when he collected the best director award for ‘Oppenheimer’.
Robert Downey Jr. won the Supporting Actor gong for the film, which also triumphed in the Cinematography and Editing categories.
Previously, Da’Vine Joy Randolph won the supporting actress award for The Holdovers.
