[SOT: Salma how are you? You look lovely. Listen, everybody’s talking about you knowing first about La La Land not winning Best Oscar, best film, best picture. What was your thought when that happened?
I was shocked like everyone else.]

There’s Salma Hayek arriving at LAX, and as you already know, she was standing backstage when the Best Picture fiasco at the Academy Awards went down… so you know she has the inside scoop.

[SOT: So when they announced it you were just shocked, huh?
They were gonna do a sketch, Matt and Jimmy, so the stage manager was right there with the cameras—
So you knew first?
I heard it in the thing. And he was shocked.]

“Shocked” might be an understatement.

The story has garnered worldwide press and it’s being called one of the biggest TV blunders of all time.

And Salma wasn’t about to make one herself.

[SOT: What was your favorite film of the year.
Oh, there were so many.
If you had to pick one.
I don’t have to.
No, if you had to.
I don’t have to put myself in that situation.
All right Salma thank you again.]
