Salma Hayek was witness to last night’s epic best picture mishap, and she had a few things to say about it.

“I actually heard the stage manager standing in front of me saying, ‘No, no, no, that is not the movie,’” she explained to Entertainment Tonight. The actress was backstage watching the whole thing unfold before her very eyes.

“And so I saw it before it happened. I said, ‘What are they going to do now?’ and then I said, ‘Oh my god, they are going to say it.’” Salma continued. “I actually saw it before everyone else and it was kind of freaky but exciting and I am just glad at least two movies got to get up on stage and be celebrating.”

Faye Dunaway and Waren Beatty were handed the wrong envelope before presenting best picture to the wrong film, La La Land, when it was actually Moonlight.

Well… at least audiences (and Selma) saw a good show!
