Genuinely funny, Stone towers over her partner and is hyperactive

While some critics have said that the Robert Downey Jr. - Gwyneth Paltrow pairing / skit at the Oscars 2012 wasn't the most inspired choice, the consensus is that Emma Stone and Ben Stiller totally rocked.

Above is a video of their small segment before presenting one of the technical awards, for special effects.

Stiller doesn't really say that much but you hardly notice it, and that's mostly because Emma does all the talking – at very rapid speed, as we've seen her do in some of her best and funniest movies.

After being told that she doesn't want to appear too “eager” just because she's new at this and very excited about it, Emma gets serious.

Coming from the guy who, at previous Oscars, wore an Avatar suit or came dressed as Joaquin Phoenix, it's like pot calling the kettle black, she points out.

Check out the funny bit above.
