Several moments were captured during Sunday’s Academy Awards, and many centered around Angela Bassett. One was her holding hands with Elvis actor Austin Butler.

The viral clip featured Bassett gripping the actor’s hand as he anxiously sat through his name called among nominees for Best Actor in a Lead Role.
