Chloe Kim is 'shook' by Frances McDormand's Oscars shoutout
Famously hangry U.S. snowboarder Chloe Kim is reeling after a shoutout from Frances McDormand at this year's Oscars.
The 17-year-old gold medallist was singled out by the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri star during her Best Actress acceptance speech.
“I think is what Chloe Kim must have felt like after doing back-to-back 1080s in the Olympic half-pipe,” said McDormand, accepting her Academy Award.
At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Kim landed two 1080s in the women's snowboard halfpipe to win her first Olympic gold medal on Feb. 13.
And yeah, she noticed McDormand's plug.

Then, Kim made a pretty slick offer.

Nice.
Kim wasn't the only Olympian featured in some capacity at this year's Oscars. U.S. ice skating champions Adam Rippon and Mirai Nagasu attended the ceremony — and Rippon's harness was one of the best looks on the red carpet.
