Emma Stone Wins Second Oscar for 'Poor Things’

"Emma Stone Clinches Second Best Actress Oscar for 'Poor Things' in Nail-Biting Showdown with Lily Gladstone"

 

Emma Stone won her second Best Actress Oscar for "Poor Things" in a tough competition with Lily Gladstone from "Killers of the Flower Moon." The race was so close that many experts couldn't predict the winner. Stone seemed surprised when last year's winner, Michelle Yeoh, announced her name. She hugged her husband, Dave McCary, and then embraced co-star Mark Ruffalo and director Yorgos Lanthimos.

Backstage, Stone said she felt like she was spinning and admitted, "I think I blacked out." She emphasized that the award is not just about her but a result of a team effort that created something greater than its individual parts. Stone thanked the cast and crew and expressed deep gratitude to Yorgos for the "gift of a lifetime in Bella Baxter."

Stone, who won her first Best Actress Oscar in 2017 for "La La Land," mentioned her broken dress as she came onstage, later revealing it had been repaired. She humorously commented on possibly making a mistake during the performance of the original song "I'm Just Ken" by Ryan Gosling. Stone is the 13th woman to win two Best Actress Oscars.

The competition between Stone and Gladstone included wins at different award shows, with Stone winning at the BAFTA Film Awards and the Golden Globes, while Gladstone secured victories at the Screen Actors Guild Awards and a different Globes category. Stone expressed her amazement at Ryan Gosling's performance during the song that blew her mind.

Stone, known for her breakthrough role in "Easy A" in 2010, has had significant roles in various films like "The Help," multiple "Spider-Man" movies, "Birdman," "The Battle of the Sexes," and "The Favourite." She was also nominated for Best Picture this year for producing "Poor Things," although the film lost to "Oppenheimer." Stone is the second woman after Frances McDormand to be nominated for both acting and Best Picture for the same film.

Other nominees in the Leading Actress category were Annette Bening for "Nyad," Sandra Hüller for "Anatomy of a Fall," and Carey Mulligan for "Maestro."

  “Judgment Handed Down for Ex-CIA Operative Convicted of Leaking Secrets to WikiLeaks” A man involved in one of the most significant data breaches in the history of the CIA, where secret hacking tools were publicly disclosed, has been sentenced to 40 years in federal prison. Joshua Adam Schulte, a former CIA officer aged 35, faced convictions related to the Vault 7 leak and the possession of child sexual abuse images in trials held in 2022 and 2023. Damian Williams , the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York in Manhattan, stated on Thursday that Schulte betrayed his country, causing substantial damage to national security. Williams emphasized that Schulte's actions stemmed from a desire for revenge against the CIA due to their response to his security breaches during his employment there. Despite prosecutors seeking a life sentence, the imposed 40-year sentence reflects the severity of Schulte's actions. Having left the CIA in 2016, Schulte was found ...
