Emma Stone Wins Oscar With Broken Dress
By the time she finally reached the podium with her second Oscar in hand, Emma had only one thing to say: her dress was broken.
It was written in the stars that Lily Gladstone was going to win the award for Best Actress in 2024, but there was no denying that Emma’s role of Bella Baxter in Poor Things was truly memorable.
And yet, Emma was clearly flustered and unprepared as she accepted the award, nearly speechless as she attempted to compose herself.

“My dress is broken,” she said, turning to show the audience the back of her gown completely ripped open. She then turned the blame on the only person who could really be responsible: Ryan Gosling.
“I think it happened during ‘I’m Just Ken,’ ” she quipped.
Her Oscar Speech: “It’s Not About Me”
“It’s not about me,” Emma said in her Oscar speech, when she was finally able to compose herself.
She made sure to thank the team behind Poor Things and the incredible character she worked so hard to bring to life.

“It’s about a team that came together to make something greater than the sum of its parts and that is the great thing about making movies,” she added. “I am so deeply honored to share this with every cast member and every crew member. Yorgos, thank you for the gift of a lifetime in Bella Baxter.”
She also took a moment to acknowledge her fellow nominees, including Lily.
“Lily, I share this with you. I’m in awe of you.”
In her speech, she also thanked her parents, her brother, along with her husband Dave McCary, and their three-year-old daughter.
This is Emma’s second Oscar win. She won her first Oscar in 2017 for Best Actress for her role in La La Land.
