Sunday night marked the 90th annual Oscars awards, and - as could be expected - the event generated a lot of headlines. Emma Stone caused a bit of a stir when she introduced the nominees of the 'Best Director' category as "four men and Greta Gerwig", Meryl Streep turned heads when she showed up looking like the Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2, and the whole world was in shock when they found out that the fish man from The Shape of Water looks like a (relatively) normal guy in real life.
However, nothing generated more of a buzz on Twitter than Emma Watson's Time's Up tattoo - but not for the right reasons. You see, while Watson might have a knack for playing bookworms in films, it turns out that her punctuation skills aren't that hot in real life, as she forgot to include the apostrophe in her ink.
The decision to get a tattoo (albeit a temporary one) was a bold move by Watson, who has been outspoken on her views about the Hollywood abuse scandal since the news about Harvey Weinstein first broke. The Beauty and the Beast star has proudly worn black to a number of awards ceremonies in the wake of the scandal, has donated millions to charities that support victims of sexual abuse, and has even auctioned off some of her possessions in order to raise more money for the Time's Up fund.
Considering her dedication to the cause, then, it's just a tiny bit embarrassing that she managed to mess up her ink.
On Twitter, however, the 27-year-old actress seemed to laugh off her mistake with ease, and even joked that she would be hiring a proofreader for future fake tattoos.
This, of course, urged hundreds of fans to join in with the gag and apply for the position, with one Twitter user writing: "I would like to take you up on this job opportunity? I have a masters in proofreadery graduated with a 1st from Tattoo Uni top of my class".
Another fan chipped in with, "*quits job as a book editor to read fake tattoos for @EmmaWatson, has 'No Ragrets'*".
For a short while, people thought it was a deliberate mistake, as the absence of the apostrophe got more people talking about it. However, after this confession, it's obvious that Watson is just human like the rest of us, and is liable to a slip-up every now and then.
Plus, when you look at how Watson is used to using the phrase, "Time's Up", it's easy to see how she made the error. Most often, she tweets or 'grams it as a hashtag, meaning that the apostrophe has to be left out.
Regardless of the clumsy mistake, Watson certainly achieved her goal in drawing attention to the Time's Up movement - as did many other actors and Hollywood stars at the Oscars this weekend. And, while it is obviously awful that people continue to be subjected to unfair and abusive conditions in the workplace, it's good to know that this organization is finally working to do something about it.
