Emma Stone Fights Tears and a Broken Dress While Accepting Best Actress Oscar for ‘Poor Things’: ‘Thank You for the Gift of a Lifetime in Bella Baxter’


Emma Stone took home the best actress prize for 'Poor Things.'

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. Stone spoke to Variety during a February cover story about the significance of Bella as a character: “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. She won the Oscar over Lily Gladstone for “Killers of the Flower Moon,” Annette Bening for “Nyad,” Carey Mulligan for “Maestro” and Sandra Hüller for “Anatomy of a Fall.”
