While Serena Williams may not be an actress or singer, she knows a thing or two about what it's like to become a star.
"When we're young, we all have dreams of what we can accomplish in life," the tennis icon said as she introduced best picture nominee A Star Is Born. "Having the dream is easy, making it come true is hard."
As her speech drew to a close, she said: "There's the rush of fame, the pressure of success, and the heartache that comes with sacrificing love for career... or career for love."
Some viewers thought the final part of her speech referred to her friend the Duchess of Sussex, who stood down from her role in legal drama Suits when she got engaged to Prince Harry.
