Emma Stone has won the Oscar for Best Actress at this year’s Academy Awards.
The actor was nominated in the category for her performance in Yorgos Lanthimos’s surrealist comedy-dramaPoor Things, and beat out the likes of Nyad’s Annette Bening,Maestro’s Carey Mulligan, Anatomy of a Fall’s Sandra Hüller, andKillers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone.
Accepting the award, Stone admitted she’d had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction as her dress split. “I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken,'” she laughed.
“The other night I was panicking that this could happen, and Yorgos said, ‘Take yourself out of it,” she continued. “And he’s right. This is about a team that came together to make something bigger than the sum of its parts. I’m so deeply honoured to share this with every person who poured their love and brilliance into this film. Thank you, Yorgos, for giving me the part of a lifetime in Bella Baxter.”
Of Stone’s co-stars, Mark Ruffalo was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category, but lost out to Robert Downey Jr. As for the film, it was also up for Best Costume, Best Production Design, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture.
