Dakota Johnson accepted the award for Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress, and when she came onstage actress Leslie Mann congratulated her with a hug but somehow slightly unhinged her dress.

Mann helped Johnson out by holding things together on her back, but Johnson, who was embarrassed at first, was able to recover and make a joke out of the situation.
