Read previewGwyneth Paltrow has jokingly cursed out former President Bill Clinton for falling asleep during a showing of her 1996 film "Emma." Appearing on the First We Feast's viral YouTube interview series "Hot Ones," Paltrow was asked by host Sean Evans about the rumor that Clinton "passed out asleep" during a White House screening of the Jane Austen adaptation. Despite Clinton's response to the film, "Emma" received generally positive reviews from critics and was nominated for two Academy Awards, one for costume design and another for original score. Paltrow's role in "Emma" came two years before Paltrow's Oscar-winning performance in another period piece, "Shakespeare in Love."
