Ohhhhh I love a good intellectual, artistic debate, especially of the cinematic variety! As per usual, the prestigious Academy Awards delivered. Emma Stone won her second best actress Oscar, creating a chasm, as many believed Lily Gladstone was robbed of a historic win. Her performance in Scorsese’s Killers Of The Flower Moon deserved every accolade. As Gladstone neared death, growing sicker as the film progressed, her lines grew sparse. And yet, saying nothing she conveyed everything. Dialogue wasn’t necessary to display the depth of her acting, a feat that marks Gladstone as one of the greats. However, Emma Stone in Lanthimos’s Poor Things had range, rangeeee.
For Stone to play a reanimated woman with a fucking baby’s brain, having to relearn life…dude. That’s impeccable acting. She went from toddler to educated, sexually liberated, boss bitch, in the most riveting manner. I almost can’t find the words to describe. A feminist tour de force.
Both Lily Gladstone and Emma Stone are top tier actresses. Stones role due to the films creative plot, allowed her to play a more expansive, complex character. Brava ladies, an absolute pleasure to watch you both. Thank you. Who do you think deserved the win and why? Via: HomeOf.Cinema
