Emma Stone's two Oscar wins

Emma Stone won the Academy Award for her performance in "Poor Things", seven years after winning the 2017 Oscar for Best Actress for "La La Land".

On the morning of March 11 ( Hanoi time), Emma Stone defeated the 2024 Oscar Best Actress nominees including Lily Gladstone, Sandra Hüller, Annette Bening and Carey Mulligan to win.

The artist received the golden statuette from five stars who had won Oscars in previous seasons. In her speech, Emma was emotional, thanking the actors on stage and four colleagues who were nominated in the same category. According to Emma, the Academy Award was not her own achievement, but the effort of the entire team.

"Together we created something great. I am honored to share this award with the actors, crew, and everyone who poured their love, care, and talent into making this film," the actor said.

According to Variety, Emma Stone's win of the Golden Statue is a well-deserved result. Previously, many viewers predicted that this would be a competition between Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) and Poor Things actress. Both artists are highly appreciated for their abilities. While Emma won acting awards at BAFTA and Critics' Choice Awards, Lily is the first Native American actress to win the 2024 Golden Globe.

Seven years ago, La La Land was Emma's career launchpad. In the film, the actress plays Mia - an actress on the way to finding her first role - working part-time at a coffee shop. Thanks to her good facial expressions and unexpected choreography, the actress brings fresh energy, full of life in every dance step, every chin lift, every shoulder shrug to the music.

As two lovers, Emma showed her chemistry with actor Ryan Gosling in some emotional and breakup scenes. Ryan's character dreams of opening a Jazz club to preserve the music he believes is authentic and is slowly being killed. The other wants to become a Hollywood star, to be noticed by the public. They walk together, through the darkness of youth. In the scene where the two dance in the night, Emma reveals her inner feelings through her eyes and actions.

At the 2017 Oscars, the film won six awards, including an acting award for Emma. This achievement helped the artist become the highest-paid actress of that year with $26 million. Experts commented that she had a spectacular "transformation", from a school movie actress to an independent film star.

Two years after starring in Damien Chazelle's film, Emma collaborated with director Yorgos Lanthimos in The Favourite. The film garnered attention when it won the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival (Italy), seven BAFTAs and a Golden Globe for best actress for Emma. Variety commented on the artist's diverse transformation in the role of "two-faced" Abigail.

According to Vulture, right after finishing filming The Favourite, Emma Stone decided to collaborate with Yorgos on the Poor Things project, which she produced and starred in. Experts say Bella in the work is the "lifetime" role of her career. The star plays Bella, who was given life through an experiment by eccentric scientist Godwin (played by Willem Dafoe). He created her by inserting the brain of an unborn child into the body of a deceased woman. Therefore, Bella has the appearance of an adult but the mind of a child.

Compared to the role that won Emma Stone her Oscar in La La Land seven years ago, Poor Things is more demanding both mentally and physically. The challenge for the star is to bring Bella from childhood to adulthood. Stone's acting, speech, gestures and body language change in each complex scene.

In a character with absurd circumstances, mixed with fantasy colors and interwoven with many inner acting, the star must act so that the actions and thoughts are reasonable. The role of Bella also requires interweaving some elements of physical comedy with psychological drama sequences.

As for nude and "hot" scenes, Emma believes that it is a necessary part, according to Business Insider. On set, Emma revealed to Vulture that she cried a lot because she could not "get out of character". The actress said that Bella discovered her body before she knew about social rules, so she was completely free and not ashamed of herself. According to the artist, the way Bella discovered sex was just like she discovered food, philosophy, travel or dance.

In an interview with Variety in late February, the actress looked back on her experience filming Damien Chazelle's La La Land. According to Emma, she had to practice dancing and singing for a long time. While filming Poor Things, the director spent time preparing to play games, creating opportunities for the actors to bond and feel comfortable together.

"I found that when we got on set, everyone was so close. We all got to know each other and were much more intimate than just sitting around reciting our lines," Emma said.
