Alongside a photo of herself on stage accepting her award, the actress, 35, wrote on Instagram: ‘I had to change my dress last minute and so it looked like my nipples were hard, I had full blown laryngitis and had to sing, and a bunch of corny haters were getting lots of attention from the media for being haters but you know what? It was still the best.’
Hathaway went on to wish good luck to all the 2018 nominees.
She added: ‘To all the nominees, I hope you have a BLAST tonight doing all that #bestlife #oscars stuff. Peace xx.’
