Without a doubt, one of the most genuine Oscar moments in a long time.

The 45-year-old, who for much of her life has been a TV comedy actress famous only in the UK was visibly stunned as her name was read out.

Cheered on by her visibly moved co-star Emma Stone the actress took to the stage and branding the moment “stressful” and “hilarious”, before delivering one of the most genuine and heartfelt speeches as she attempted to remember her thank you’s.
