“La La Land” star Emma Stone stayed composed as she won her first Oscar for Best Actress Sunday night, but could no longer hold it together backstage when greeted by last year’s winner, Brie Larson.

Cameras captured the two actresses as Larson approached Stone to congratulate her on her newly acquired statue.

Stone stares at Larson for a second before saying, laughing, “Oh, now I start to cry,” as the two friends embraced each other.
