Emma Stone won a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical, or Comedy for her depiction of Bella Baxter in “Poor Things.” This is her second Golden Globe, having won one for “La La Land” in 2017. Tonight, January 7, she is vying for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series, Drama, for the show “The Curse.” She has received a total of eight Golden Globe nominations.
Stone will therefore surely be nominated for an Oscar in the Best Actress category when the Academy announces its winners on Tuesday, January 23. She stars in Yorgos Lanthimos’ sensual and breathtaking film “Poor Things,” which is a dystopian Victorian version of a reborn Dr. Frankenstein’s monster. Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe won Best Supporting Actor, Latimos won Best Director, Tony McNamara won Best Screenplay, and Jerskin Fendrix won Best Score, among the seven Golden Globes that the movie took home.

Early December saw a small-scale release of Searchlight Pictures’ “Poor Things,” which was later extended to additional theatres for the Christmas season. The movie has made $11 million worldwide thus far. Though it is based on Alasdair Grey’s 1992 epistolary novel somewhat loosely, the $35 million high concept picture is a big blockbuster.
Two of Stone and Lanthimos’s previous collaborations were the 2022 short “Bleat” and the movie “The Favourite,” which earned Stone an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She starred in his next film, an anthology titled “Kinds of Kindness,” which was shot in New Orleans in the autumn of 2022, while “Poor Things” was in post-production.
Though reviewers’ groups haven’t given it much attention thus far, many have praised Stone’s portrayal of a lady in “Poor Things” who has to start over after a brain transplant revives her dead corpse.
She plays Whitney in Showtime’s “The Curse,” which is produced by Benny Safdie and Nathan Fielder. Whitney, an HGTV anchor, is hired by a low-income hamlet in New Mexico to construct sustainable housing. Whitney, though, overdoes her performative benevolence. The series finale will run on January 14, and the ninth episode will premiere on January 7 during the Golden Globes.
Following her roles in the movies “Poor Things” and “The Curse,” Stone joined the “Saturday Night Live” five-timers club on December 2 and started hosting the variety show.
