The 2020 Academy Awards have come and gone and there was plenty to unpack from this year’s ceremony, including Parasite‘s total domination and Eminem’s surprise performance, which apparently ended with him getting doused in water by Salma Hayek Pinault. Over seventeen years following his Academy Award victory for Best Original Song at the 2003 Oscars, Eminem performed “Lose Yourself” to a crowd of shocked attendees. Martin Scorcese could barely keep his eyes open during the show and Billie Eilish looked unenthused. However, it was one of the most talked-about moments from the entire evening, and one portion of his appearance wasn’t even revealed until now.

As he made his way to the backstage area, Marshall Mathers ran into Salma Hayek Pinault, who was preparing to hop on stage to present the next batch of awards. She was so surprised to see the rapper that she accidentally spilled her water all over him, telling the story on Instagram.

“In these pictures it might look like @Eminem and I are best friends, but what really happened is as he was walking offstage and I was getting ready to walk onstage, I was so shocked to see him that I spilled water all over him,” said the actress. “If you examine our faces, I look mortified and he looks terrified of me- As I was trying to wipe it off I impulsively hugged him and I said ‘Nice to meet you Eminem- I’m a HUGE fan!’ because I AM! But I was so disappointed that I made such a fool of myself in front of him… and then I read this [swipe right] in @rollingstone. Eminem you’re the greatest!!!”

While presenting recent Golden-Globe winner, Renée Zellweger, with the best actress award at the National Board of Review Awards Gala on Wednesday, Salma Hayek shared one of her favourite—and most hilarious—memories of her longtime friend. In 2003, both actresses were nominated for Best Actress at the prestigious Academy Awards—Salma for her role in Frida and Renée for her role in Chicago—meaning the night was going to be especially important for both of them. However, Salma ran into a bit of a dilemma: “my big butt exploded the seams of my Oscar dress and I had no dress for the Oscars,” she revealed.

Luckily, her fellow nominee came to her rescue. “[Renée] ended up giving me one of her dresses that, thank God, was wide here [gestured around her butt] and stretchy here [gestured around her breasts]. That’s what I wore for that night,” Salma said of the Caroline Herrera gown below. Her initial panic was eased by Renée’s generosity, and Salma even noted she “wish[ed] that [The Oscars] would have a tie so that we could both win, but we both lost,” to Nicole Kidman for her role in The Hours. Oh well, at least she didn’t have to attend the award show in torn-up clothing.
