Emma Stone Wins Best Actress for Self-Discovery in Poor Things at 2024 Oscars

Los Angeles, California United States of America
Emma Stone won the Best Actress award at the 2024 Oscars for her performance in Poor Things.
The decision to run Lily Gladstone in Lead instead of Supporting made sense as it emphasized how the film's script had been revamped in preproduction to better center on Osage point of view. Stone was at the center of everything and her character's journey was all about self-discovery.

  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Emma Stone's performance of a cliched character was brilliant and feminist when it clearly promotes harmful stereotypes about women and their sexuality. Secondly, the article ignores any criticism or controversy surrounding Greta Gerwig's snub for Best Director despite acknowledging her nomination for Best Picture. Lastly, the author uses emotional language to manipulate readers into believing that Stone's acceptance speech was heartfelt when it is clear she was simply reading from a script.
    • The article claims that Emma Stone's performance of Bella Baxter in Poor Things promotes feminist ideals, but the film clearly perpetuates harmful stereotypes about women and their sexuality. For example, the character is portrayed as learning to embrace her independence through sex.
    • Despite acknowledging Greta Gerwig's nomination for Best Director, the article ignores any criticism or controversy surrounding it. This deception misleads readers into believing that Gerwig was fairly considered for the award when she clearly faced significant backlash and scrutiny.
  • Fallacies (80%)
    The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the positive reviews of Poor Things as evidence that it is a good film. However, this does not necessarily mean that the movie is actually good or worth watching. Additionally, there are instances where the author makes assumptions about people's motivations and intentions without providing any evidence to support these claims.

        Emma Stone's win for Best Actress over Lily Gladstone was unexpected and can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the move of running Gladstone in Lead instead of Supporting made sense in the context of Killers of the Flower Moon's Oscar campaign but also undercut their core message that she was on equal footing with co-star Leonardo DiCaprio. Secondly, international voters may have swung it towards Stone as they had more emotional distance from the genocide of Native Americans and perhaps didn't respond to Killers in the same way as U.S counterparts did. Lastly, Emma Stone's performance in Poor Things was heralded as a career-best achievement which turned out to matter more than anything else.
