After clips from the actress’ riqué R-rated movie played on the big screen, the comedian, 56, quipped, “Those were all the parts of ‘Poor Things’ that we’re allowed to show on TV.”

Aside from the drama, the awards ceremony was an eventful night for the “Help” star, who won best actress for her role as Bella Baxter in 2023’s “Poor Things.”
The two-time Grammy winner appeared in disbelief as she rushed to the stage to accept the Oscar, even busting the zipper on her Louis Vuitton gown.
“My dress is broken,” she said during her acceptance speech. “I think it happened during [Ryan Gosling’s] ‘I’m Just Ken’ [performance].“
