Emma Stone’s Dazzling Victory at the 2024 Oscars

Surpassing prominent contemporaries, Emma Stone now stands as one of the world’s most esteemed leading actresses, with an illustrious filmography to admire.

The 96th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre, USA, on March 11th (Hanoi time). The grand cinema event gathered stars from around the world to attend. Alongside “Oppenheimer,” “Poor Things” also shone brightly on this year’s race. The film secured a total of 4 wins, including Best Actress, Outstanding Production Design, Outstanding Costume Design, and Outstanding Hair and Makeup. Photo: Vanity Fair.

Emma Stone’s victory in the Best Actress category at the Oscars came as a surprise to many. Earlier, the competition between her and Lily Gladstone (in “Killers of the Flower Moon”) was intense. Observers noted that Emma Stone delivered a standout performance, but the win was expected to lean towards Gladstone, as the Oscars tend to favor actors who have not yet won. Additionally, a win for Gladstone would have garnered significant media attention. However, at the last minute, Emma Stone pulled off a dramatic upset. Photo: People.

Taking the stage to accept her award, the 35-year-old star couldn’t hide her emotions, choked with tears. She sincerely thanked her family, loved ones, and colleagues. This marks Emma Stone’s second Oscar win (out of four acting nominations), seven years after her triumph with “La La Land.” Photo: Rolling Stone.

This achievement solidifies Emma Stone as the standout actress of her generation. She has undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from a school film actress to an independent film star. Emma has left a strong impression with her diverse range of performances in projects she has been part of, from “Birdman” and “La La Land” to “The Favourite” and “Poor Things.” Photo: ABC Chicago.

In “Poor Things,” Emma Stone not only played the lead role but also served as a producer of the film. She has been praised for her outstanding portrayal of the character Bella Baxter, showcasing remarkable versatility. Baxter is described as a “naive, eccentric, free-spirited woman who is a female version of Frankenstein.” To escape her abusive husband, Baxter drowns herself, only to be revived with the brain of her unborn child.

Initially, Bella believes that sex is what brings happiness to people. Then wealth, prosperity, and more social aspects follow. However, when Bella sees black children dying in Egypt, she naturally realizes that life is broader and more harsh than the happiness she knows. Eventually, after gaining enough experience and knowledge, Bella returns to meet her creator and resolves all issues on her own terms. Photo: Searchlight Pictures.

“Poor Things” is a collaboration between two of Hollywood’s most unique cinematic personalities, with Lanthimos always seeking to explore the deepest aspects of human nature and Emma Stone constantly pushing the boundaries of acting craftsmanship. Emma’s role can be foolish, selfish, capricious, and cruel, but also intelligent, humorous, considerate, and kind. This is a type of role that cannot be found elsewhere, and it’s a bold experiment for the actress. Photo: Searchlight Pictures.

In a conversation with Variety earlier, Emma Stone shared that “Poor Things” provided her with unforgettable acting experiences. The 35-year-old star had to perform many crazy, bold, and even steamy scenes. “Audiences will have to wonder what will happen to me? What did I say? What did I do? While the character Bella Baxter’s worldview is simply based on experience. The issue is just how she feels about life,” she said. Photo: Daily Bruin.

Born in 1988, Emma Stone’s birth name is Emily Jean Stone. She decided to change her name when she joined the Screen Actors Guild and found herself sharing a name with a member of the union. Few know that before becoming a leading star of her generation, Emma Stone had to make a PowerPoint presentation to persuade her parents to pursue an acting career. She first stepped into the world of cinema with “In Search of the Partridge Family” (2004). With an impressive face and “speaking eyes,” the actress easily caught attention. Photo: Roxy.

After relentless efforts in acting, Emma Stone’s talent has been recognized by both audiences and the film industry. She continues to appear in highly acclaimed projects, her name rises in ranks, and she becomes one of the top stars of Hollywood. Mention Emma Stone, and you mention a “genuine actress,” as she always ensures a stellar performance in the projects she participates in. Photo: MovieWeb.

Surpassing prominent contemporaries of her generation such as Jennifer Lawrence or Jennifer Aniston, Emma Stone is now one of the world’s most sought-after leading stars.
