At the Oscar Awards, the co-host chose the Best Supporting Actress nominee to be part of a gag about seat fillers.
"Actually, let me just show you what the seat-fillers do," she explained as she started her bit. "Here's a seat-filler... Can we get you up honey? Do you need to go to the bathroom?" pulling Dunst by the wrist out of her seat, and plonking herself down next to Jesse Plemons.
"Jesse -- I loved you in Power of the Dog," she gushed, completely ignoring Dunst standing behind her.
"You know that's my wife?" he told Schumer.
"You're married to that seat-filler?" Schumer asked, as he nodded. "Oh that's weird."
