Academy Condemns Security Run-In With Teyana Taylor at the Oscars

The event’s security contractor calls the contact incidental, saying it has addressed the staffer internally.

Overview

  • Footage from the end of the ceremony shows Taylor telling a man she identified as security not to shove or touch her as she attempted to rejoin a Best Picture stage photo.
  • The Academy said it was "extremely upset," accepted responsibility for guest experience, and stated it is working with Security Industry Specialists to prevent a repeat.
  • SIS acknowledged a brief interaction during crowd control, described the contact as incidental, expressed regret, and said the matter was handled internally.
  • Taylor told reporters she was fine, emphasized she does not tolerate disrespect, and later thanked the Academy for its public support in a post on X.
  • There have been no reported penalties or legal actions stemming from the incident, which followed a night in which One Battle After Another won six Oscars including Best Picture.
