Teyana Taylor’s Oscars Night Ends With Best Picture Win for Her Film and a Viral Backstage Confrontation

No public statement has followed as the backstage clip continues to circulate online.

Overview

  • Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress, with Taylor receiving her first Academy Award nomination for One Battle After Another.
  • One Battle After Another was among the night’s top performers, taking Best Picture and multiple additional awards.
  • Video from just after the broadcast shows Taylor accusing a man of putting his hands on her and “shoving” her as she moved toward the stage.
  • Outlets including TMZ reported the man was a security guard who blocked Taylor and Warner Bros. executive Pam Abdi as they tried to rejoin castmates for a Best Picture photo.
  • The clip drew polarized reactions on social media, and several outlets noted Taylor and her representatives had not responded to requests for comment; earlier, she drew red-carpet attention in Chanel with more than 60 carats of Tiffany & Co. diamonds.
