Reese Witherspoon felt very "emotional" when Emma Stone won an Oscar.
The ‘Wild’ star was thrilled to see Emma pick up the Best Actress in a Leading Role gong at the ceremony on Sunday (26.02.17) for her part in ‘La La Land’ as it reminded her of when she won an Academy Award in 2006.
She told Entertainment Tonight: "I’m always getting emotional when people win.
"It’s a lifelong dream and it’s a very small group of people. And you feel very honoured to be a part of it. It’s very fun and exciting. I get excited for people."
And Brie Larson also congratulated Emma on her award, posting a sweet picture of the pair hugging at the event.
She captioned it: "You know what’s better than winning? Watching your friends win. @TheAcademy (sic)"
In her acceptance speech, Emma paid tribute to her fellow nominees Meryl Streep, Ruth Negga, Isabelle Huppert and Natalie Portman
She said: "To the women in this category – you were all so extraordinary and I look up to you and admire you. It has been the greatest honour to stand alongside you."
And she went on to thank filmmaker Damien Chazelle and her co-star Ryan Gosling for the "crazy adventures" making the movie gave them all.
She added: "I realise a moment like this is a huge confluence of luck and opportunity so I want to thank Damien Chazelle to be given the opportunity. Ryan Gosling, thank you for making me laugh and always raising the bar and being the best partner on this crazy adventure.
"To all the people that worked on this movie, I’m going to find you all individually and I’m going to thank you. I’m going to hug the hell out of you when the feeling re-enters my body. I still have a lot of growing and learning to do, and this guy (the Oscar statue) is a really beautiful symbol of continuing to do that."
