Actress Emma Stone started acting on stage in community productions but moved to Los Angeles to pursue professional acting in her late teens. She got her first role in 2005. However, her big break came in 2007 when she played Jules in Superbad. While she's best known for comedic movies like Easy A, she's gone on to perform in a variety of genres, including musicals and dramas. Despite getting recognition at other prestigious awards shows like the BAFTAs, Critics Choice Awards, and the Golden Globes, Emma Stone has had a tough go when it comes to the Oscars.

Emma Stone Has Won 2 Oscars For La La Land & Poor Things

One Of The Best Actors Of Her Generation

Though she's given numerous incredible performances, Emma Stone has only been nominated for five Oscars. Moreover, she has only won two of these awards, gaining Oscars for Best Actress in the movies La La Land and Poor Things. In 2015, she was nominated for Best Actress in a ing Role for her role of Sam in Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance). This was her first Oscar nomination, but she lost the award to Patricia Arquette for Boyhood. In 2017, she won her much-deserved first Oscar for Best Lead Actress for Mia in La La Land.

In 2019, she was nominated again for a Best Actress in a ing Role Oscar. She'd acted her heart out as Abigail in the satirical comedy-thriller The Favourite. This loss, while sad for Stone, was the correct decision after seeing Regina King's performance in If Beale Street Could Talk. This doesn't change that Emma Stone deserved the nomination. The last two Oscar nominations occurred in 2024 for Poor Things. The comedy movie may have lost the Best Picture Oscar, but Emma Stone won Best Actress, going up against some of the strongest competition yet.

While Emma Stone's wins for Best Actress are high, the nominations number seems fairly low for an actress of her caliber and fame. It's likely the number would be much higher if the Oscars gave more credence to movie genre films – or movies that lean heavily into tropes and storylines distinctly common in a specific genre. Examples of this include rom-coms like Easy A, horror comedies like Zombieland, and superhero movies like The Amazing Spider-Man. Brilliant genre movies like these frequently get overlooked by prestigious award shows, specifically the Oscars, because they're less literary and highbrow.
