She may not have won the Oscar, but Quvenzhané Wallis did garner gold with her breakthrough performance!

In fact, she won Best Breakthrough Performance!

The amazing 9-year-old took home the award at the Essence Black Women In Hollywood Awards, and she thanked someone very important in her speech- her babysitter!

Uh oh! Jean Dujardin might be in big trouble when he gets back to France!

In his Best Actor acceptance speech, Jean dropped a French curse towards the end.

Momma Dujardin joked, "I don’t like, I don’t like [that] he said [it]"

Somebody's in trouble….LOLz!

Jean apologized after a translator clarified a reporter's question on the matter. Director Michael Hazanavicius came to his leading man's rescue as well, stating:

It’s not really a bad word, we always say that in France. I think it’s, ‘Wow, [expletive,] we did it! I’m so happy! Something like that, or maybe, ‘Holly golly, I am so happy!

Holly Golly?! We think that might be worse than the F-bomb!

Check out Jean's speech above and see if you can spot the French gaffe!
