Jennifer Coolidge’s hilarious Oscar flub and White Lotus win

It was a major night for White Lotus star and Golden Globe winner Jennifer Coolidge, who absolutely nailed it every time she stood behind a microphone. As she presented the award for a Supporting Role in a TV series, Coolidge made a funny blunder while talking about how hard it would be to remember her lines while presenting the award and said: " the Oscar goes to..." making the audience crack up with laughter and cheer for her as she immediately recognised her mistake. That’s not all, Coolidge also won Best Supporting Actress - Television Limited Series/Motion Picture for White Lotus. The Legally Blonde actress joked about the award being ‘too heavy’ as she accepted her first Golden Globe.
