Receiving two Oscars for best actress, Emma Stone made history as one of the youngest people to achieve this.
Not only is she a successful actress, Emma has long been "America's darling" because of her cute, humorous girl-next-door image, but also full of surprises when transforming into big roles. Emma Stone is one of the most beloved American actresses of this generation.
"The girl next door" is funny and lovely
Besides her adventurous, daring and brave role as Bella Baxter in Poor Things, what is strange and memorable is that Emma Stone still maintains her lovable "girl next door" image with American audiences.
When she went on stage to receive her Oscar, she did not look distant but confused and humorous as she kept complaining about her broken dress zipper, her face red because an embarrassing incident still happened at such an important moment.
And the first sentence when Emma stood in front of the mic to give her award speech was also a lovely complaint about the dress, along with a quick improvised joke that made the audience laugh happily: "I think it broke in the middle of the performance. I'm just Ken".
Her voice was almost broken with emotion, her words were a bit jumbled but very natural, making the speech special, and showing the true character of Emma Stone as ever.
Even at the moment she became the most expensive movie star of the year, Emma Stone is still like a friend that the audience can approach and talk to (even if only in imagination). That is one of the reasons why she is so loved.
Not only in her Oscar speech, but long before that, throughout Emma's career when she starred in many teen comedies or commercial films like Superbad, Easy A or Crazy, Stupid, Love (and recognized as a talented comedian), Emma still presents a humble image, not as flashy as many other Hollywood stars. A very famous person, but without the bright filter of fame.
In the countless talk shows that Emma has attended, she always takes the "spotlight" because of her humorous storytelling ability.
When asked serious questions about movies or her career, she would answer with some silly, quirky, self-deprecating story to put everyone at ease and not overestimate herself.
An amazing creature
Director Yorgos Lanthimos said the character Bella Baxter - a woman with the body of an adult with the mind of a child in Poor Things - is "an amazing creature".
But the role wouldn't have been possible without Emma Stone - another "incredible creature".
The role left critics almost at a loss for words to describe it, as Emma simply broke so many boundaries and delivered a performance that is hard to find elsewhere.
Building her reputation from comedies, teen movies, and even starring in the most commercial films aimed at the market like Spider-Man (The Amazing Spider-Man) , Emma Stone has never ceased to amaze audiences when she has smoothly transitioned to dense art films.
This direction brought a solid career, making her both famous and loved, and making her not be underestimated by academic cinema lovers.
In previous years, there were still some objections when she won an Oscar for her role in La La Land , but with this year's Poor Things, it seems that the film industry is convinced, admitting that she deserved every minute in that movie.
And amid the new glory, Emma Stone still threw herself into work.
She is always very skillful in keeping her private life private and protecting her family from showbiz scandals.
In 2021, she married Dave McCary, a director on Saturday Night Live.
Audiences don't know much about her married life or her daughter Louise Jean, except that she just turned 3, as she revealed in her Oscar speech.
Friendship with Taylor Swift
During this awards season, when Taylor Swift also received several nominations for her concert film The Eras Tour, the audience had the opportunity to see more reunions between her and Emma Stone - when the two became friends before they were 20 years old.
They met when they attended the Young Hollywood Awards that year and gradually became close, always loving and supporting each other.
At the time, each was working hard to build their careers. Now, both are the most successful singers and actors in America at the ages of 34 (Taylor) and 35 (Emma).
