The Academy of Motion Picture, Arts and Sciences, weighed in on the tense moment at the 2026 Oscars involving Best Supporting Actress nominee.
Tayyana Taylor.
She claimed a security guard shoved her inside the Dolby Theater just after the ceremony wrapped up, and the video of it went viral online.
In their statement Monday afternoon, Academy members said they were extremely upset to learn
about Taylor's allegation. They thanked her for handling it with grace and committed to steps
that will prevent repeats. The security company, security industry specialists, also responded
describing a brief interaction in a crowded area to keep everyone safe. They admitted to incidental
contact, regretted how it escalated, and confirmed they handled it with their team internally.
Taylor was caught on video raising her voice, calling the guard rude for putting hands on her as a woman.
She later explained that security was busy managing the crowd during a happy celebratory time,
but she draws the line at unwarranted disrespect.
Despite the incident, Taylor shone at the event, cheering loudly for winner Amy Madigan,
and sharing a playful headlock with director Paul Thomas,
Anderson from their film while grabbing an award on stage.
