On a night filled with glitz and glamour, Emma Stone shone brightly as she took home the coveted Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the film 'Poor Things'. Stone's performance was nothing short of mesmerizing, as she brought to life the complex character of a struggling young woman facing insurmountable odds. Her portrayal was raw, emotional, and truly captivating, leaving audiences and critics alike in awe of her talent.
Stone's win is a testament to her dedication and hard work in the industry, as well as her ability to transform into any character she takes on. This Oscar win solidifies Stone's status as one of Hollywood's most talented actresses, and it is sure to be just one of many accolades she will receive in her illustrious career.
She triumphed over Lily Gladstone of "Killers of the Flower Moon" on Sunday night in a race most pundits said was too close to call. Gladstone would have been the first Native American to win a competitive Oscar.
Stone appeared shocked when last year's winner, Michelle Yeoh, announced her name. She hugged and kissed her husband, Dave McCary, before moving into the aisle to hug co-star Mark Ruffalo and director Yorgos Lanthimos.
Stone leads “Poor Things” as Bella Baxter, a distressed pregnant woman who commits suicide and is brought back to life with the brain of her unborn fetus. As Bella, Stone mimics the phases of growing up — from her most primitive stage to full adulthood. She also took home the best actress prizes at this year’s Golden Globes in the musical or comedy category, BAFTAs and Critics Choice Awards.
Stone and Lanthimos have previously collaborated in the director’s Oscar-winning 2018 film “The Favourite,” as well as a 2022 short film. They are working together on at least two future projects, including a film titled “Kinds of Kindness” costarring Margaret Qualley and “Euphoria” star Hunter Schafer.
In the 2024 lead actress category, Stone was up against Lily Gladstone for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Annette Bening for “Nyad,” Sandra Hüller for “Anatomy of a Fall” and Carey Mulligan for “Maestro.”
“I was so crazy about her. It’s the idea of not living with that self-judgment or shame or the social contracts that you make as a child growing up. And part of the nature of anxiety is that you’re always watching yourself,” Stone summed up. “In some ways — this is horrible to say — it’s a very selfish condition to have. Not to insult other people with anxiety — I still have it — but it’s because you’re thinking about yourself a lot. You’re thinking about, ‘What’s going to happen to me? What have I said? What have I done?’ Whereas Bella’s way of approaching the world, it’s just about experience. It’s just about how she feels about things.”
