South African journalist Margaret Gardiner outed herself Monday as the reporter and member of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association who confused Daniel Kaluuya for Leslie Odom Jr. in the Academy Awards press room.

Regina of course directed "One Night In Miami" starring Leslie who was also up for Best Supporting Actor.
