London: Actress Emma Stone has denied reports that she was drunk when she presented an Oscar at last year's Academy Awards, insisting she was simply playing for laughs.

"We pretended that Ben had been to the Oscars many times and I was this really overly enthusiastic Oscar presenter. I was very excited, and he was not... A lot of people thought it was something else: When I came offstage, they were saying, 'You were so drunk!' And I wasn't. Not until after," she said.
