Oscars 2023: Elizabeth Banks slightly tripped while making her way onto the stage to announce the Best Visual Effects category at the 95th Academy Awards. The Cocaine Bear director was accompanied by the ‘Cocaine Bear‘ himself. She blamed it on him for tripping over her long train of floor-sweeping black and white coloured gown on stage. Fortunately, she did not fall and was able to recover from the moment. When she came on stage, she said, “He (pointing at the bear) tripped me, I recently directed ‘Cocaine Bear’ and without visual effects, this is what the bear looks like. Terrifying.”
