The actor went on to explain that now she'd received an apology from the photographer, she didn't want to allow too much focus on the incident or let it overshadow the "glorious" night.
"Now I'm so ready to move on," she continued. "And I'm not having it overshadow what was the most, I think, even more than last year, the most glorious, joyful, positive night."

During the red carpet for Sunday's (April 14) ceremony, Waddingham was asked by a photographer to show more of her leg – something which she was quick to call out.
"Oh my God, you'd never say that to a man, my friend," she could be heard saying in a fan video (posted to X).
"Don't be a d**k otherwise I’ll move off. Don't say 'show me leg'. No," she continued, before walking away from the photographer in question.
