After her most memorable performance came last year as Bella Baxter in Poor Things, many want to know — has Emma Stone won an Oscar?
Last night’s broadcast of the 96th Academy Awards was a chaotic, awkward, fumbling mess. So, essentially, it delivered. Each of the wins played out as generally expected for movie lovers, meaning we finally saw those coveted little golden men in the hands of Christopher Nolan, Cillian Murphy, and Robert Downey Jr.
But there was one major race running through this year’s Oscars, and that was for Best Actress. Fans have been volleying between Poor Things‘ Emma Stone and Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone for months. Both performances were impeccable, sensitive, and incredibly different.
So, who ended up taking home the statue? Has Emma Stone won an Oscar? Here’s what you need to know.
