We’d love to ask Chloe Kim which felt better: winning gold at the 2018 Winter Olympics last month or the shout-out she received from Best Actress winner Frances McDormand during her acceptance speech at Sunday’s Oscars.
Seeing as Kim proclaimed herself “shook” on Twitter after McDormand’s reference to the snowboarder’s impressive skills, we think it’s a tough call.
McDormand took home gold herself for her performance in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” at the 2018 Academy Awards, and her rousing speech included both a call to action for Hollywood and the cute compliment directed at the snowboarder.
“Okay, so I’m hyperventilating a little bit,” McDormand started. “If I fall over, pick me up cause I’ve got some things to say. So I think this is what Chloe Kim must have felt like after doing back-to-back 1080s in the Olympic halfpipe. Did you see that? Okay, that’s what it feels like.”
Kim first snapped back in awe with a, “I am SHOOK rn like what,” tweet, but composed herself enough to invite McDormand to join her on the slopes.
“Hey Frances let’s go snowboarding sometime,” the Olympian tweeted, including the monkey-covering its eyes emoji.
Same, Kim. Same.
