Brie Larson took home the gong for ‘Best Actress’ at the Academy Awards last night but today, people are talking about her for an entirely different reason.
After Lady Gaga’s moving performance of Till It Happens To You, Brie got up from her chair to hug each sexual assault victim who had joined the pop star on stage.
Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardener captured the moment on camera and it has received a massive reaction with over 4,000 retweets on Twitter.

Gaga co-wrote Till It Happens To You with Diane Warren for The Hunting Ground, a documentary focusing on the staggering number of sexual assaults on college campuses.
