One of ABC’s red carpet presenters had a moment to forget with Kate Hudson ahead of the 2023 Oscars ceremony.

Hudson stars in the Oscar-nominated film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, but was not nominated for her acting.

However, one of the interviewers appeared to have forgotten this as they interviewed the star on the “champagne” carpet as stars arrived at the awards show.

“Kate, you know what it’s like to win an Oscar,” an ABC presenter told the actor.

“I have never won an Oscar,” Hudson corrected the host. “But I’ve been nominated!” she said, laughing.

“I gave you one in my head!” the embarrassed presenter said. “I’m sure it’s amazing!” Hudson added.

Hudson was nominated in 2001 for her role as the groupie Penny Lane in Cameron Crowe’s comedy-drama, Almost Famous.

The exchange was not the only notable interaction on the “champagne” carpet last night.

Hugh Grant was heavily criticised for what some called an “obnoxious” interview with model Ashley Graham, while Brendan Fraser’s sons delighted fans of the actor as they revealed his penchant for dad jokes.

During the ceremony, Malala was lauded for a “classy and perfect” response to a gag by Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel midway through the evening, in which he pretended to ask questions from members of the public.

Everything Everywhere All at Once dominated the ceremony, with Michelle Yeoh taking home the Best Actress award and becoming the first Asian woman and only second woman of colour to win the trophy.

The film also won Best Picture, and Best Director and Best Original Screenplay for writer/directors Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

Brendan Fraser cemented his comeback with a Best Actor win for The Whale, while Everything Everywhere stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan picked up Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor, respectively.
