Jodie Foster Presents at the 2018 Oscars on Crutches, Joking That Meryl Streep ‘I, Tonya’ed Me’
Jodie Foster made her entrance at the 90th annual Academy Awards with a surprising accessory: crutches, and it’s all Meryl Streep‘s fault.
The 55-year-old actress and Oscar winner presented Best Actress alongside fellow Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, joking that Streep had “I, Tonya’ed” her.
Her jab was, of course, a reference to Best Picture nominee I, Tonya — which explores figure skater Tonya Harding’s life before, during and after the infamous 1994 attack on Nancy Kerrigan.
Foster and Lawrence, 27, both worked together on 2011’s The Beaver (Lawrence starred in the film alongside Mel Gibson and Anton Yelchin, and Foster directed).
