Her portrayal in the surrealist fantasy “Poor Things,” where a deceased woman is revived using her child’s brain, puts a unique spin on the Frankenstein narrative. Initially seeming to cater to male fantasies of infantilized women, Stone’s performance deftly subverts these expectations, delivering a frenetic and unnervingly direct portrayal.
Previously honoured with the same award for her role in the musical “La La Land,” Stone’s win cements her status as a versatile and accomplished actress.
During the ceremony, past winners Michelle Yeoh, Sally Field, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, and Jessica Lange joined her onstage to present the award.
