James elaborated that Seyfried’s body language indicated the importance of the moment for the actress. “She does look tense here, showing how important a moment it was for her,” she explained.James observed that Seyfried laughed and leaned sideways while reacting to a joke from the stage, and a subtle blink was the only visible sign of disappointment when the winner was announced.
