Emma Stone wins Best Actor Female on the 29 Critics Choice Awards
Mumbai: The 29 Critics Choice Awards was a dazzling array as stars graced the event all in style and true Hollywood glamor, as it witnessed the exceptional contributions of raw-talent. The awards recognised the brilliance of creative cinema in the past year. After sweeping the Golden Globe Awards for her portrayal of Bella in Poor Things, Emma Stone has bagged yet another win at the Critics’ Choice Awards. Taking home the trophy for Best Actor Female, The Curse actress’ speech was heartfelt, hilarious and totally on brand.
The 29 Critics Choice Awards was streamed live on Lionsgate Play on 15 January 2024. If you missed it or want to watch it again, make sure to tune into the platform!
Showing her fellow nominees a whole lotta love, Stone said, “I’m going to be honest, I’m in like full blown shock. I didn’t have anything that I was going to say because this is completely crazy. This category is ridiculous – Lily (Gladstone), I mean come on. Margot (Robbie) – what in the. Carrie (Mulligan) – okay. Greta and Sandra Hüller. This doesn’t make any sense. Thank you so much for this, it means so much to me. I was being serious. I don’t know what to say.”
Further thanking her cast and crew, the La La Land actor added, “This table – here is the Poor Things table. This crew, this cast – Mark, Willam Ramy, Chris, Jerrod, Katherine, Hunter, Hanah, Shula – there’s so many unbelievable people that I was lucky enough to work with. Ed Guy and Andrew Low, Tony McNamer and Yorgos, who I call Yoro because that’s how we’re supposed to say it to a Greek man if we’re speaking to them. I love you, thank you for everything this is uh really wild. Playing Bella was one of the greatest joys of my life. I got to unlearn a lot of things in playing her. Unlearn parts of shame and societal stuff that gets put on us, and I’m still working on it.”
Ending with a joke in true Emma fashion, she said, “This is the Critics’ Choice Awards and it is about outside opinion but I’m very grateful to the critics for this. But I’m just learning not to care what you think.”
Marvel at Emma Stone’s genius in The Curse exclusively on Lionsgate Play.
