Waxman Staff Writer Feb 23, 2015 3:28 PM UTC Now we know why Emma Watson squashed those [rumors about dating Prince Harry](http://time.com/3717820/emma-watson-prince-harry/). She wants to “marry” actor Steve Carell. Well, figuratively speaking. The actress expressed her admiration for Carell after he sported “He For She” cufflinks at the Academy Awards on Sunday night in support of her ongoing gender equality campaign. As a way of thanks, she penned a gushing Instagram message to the actor and former _Daily Show_ correspondent_._ Patricia Arquette, who won the Best Supporting Actress trophy, also prompted a standing ovation [when she called for wage equality](http://time.com/3716813/oscars-2015-patricia-arquette-best-supporting-actress-wage-equality/) and equal rights for women during her acceptance speech. _Read next:_ [_Here’s What Twitter Talked About Most During the Oscars_](http://time.com/3718337/oscars-2015-twitter-rankings/?xid=time%5Freadnext) ### Oscars 2015: Celebrities on the Red Carpet  Emma Stone attends the 87th Annual Academy Awards on Feb. 22, 2015 in Hollywood, Calif.
