The 2024 Oscars are in the book and while overall the year brought strangely few surprises, the penultimate award of the night is the one that gets people talking. The Best Actress category was richer than ever, with two notable roles from a list of nominees. Emma Stone ended up taking the statue’s house for her performance in Poor Things, which surprised many other people, including, apparently, Stone herself.
Lily Gladstone made history with her nomination for Killers of the Flower Moon as the first Indigenous user to be nominated for an Oscar. Many expected her to be the first Indigenous actress to win an Oscar until Emma Stone was called. And while no one overlooks Stone’s in fact, it’s a remarkable performance, many on Twitter still think the award deserved to have gone to Gladstone. . .
Emma Stone is surely amazing in Poor Things, but Lily Gladstone’s functionality in Killers of the Flower Moon is *forever* and will be.
In fact, there have been years when an Oscar has been awarded to a film that in the end hasn’t stood the test of time in the same way as any of the other nominees, and many seem to think that’s what happened here. It doesn’t seem that anyone thinks that Emma Stone’s performance was even extraordinary. Still, they say that Lily Gladstone had already made history in this role and deserves to have done the same with the award. As one other user tweeted:
Emma Stone is amazing and she’s amazing in Poor Things. BUT – I’m disappointed that the #Oscars academy couldn’t find a way to honor Lily Gladstone for a groundbreaking film role, as the first Native American woman to win an Oscar as an actress. It’s time for Hollywood to make sure she’s not the only Indigenous actress nominated in recent years.
Admittedly, Lily Gladstone should have been considered one of the frontrunners for the Oscar, as she had won several Best Actress awards in recent months. She and Stone were the two people most likely to win the Oscar. People invested in his story, so it seems that many feel that something is missing as the story did not end as it would have been written. A good example: this tweet.
As much as I love Emma Stone and as phenomenal as her functionality is and how incredibly other Poor People are as a movie, I invested a lot in Lily Gladstone’s win. She’s so impressive in Killers of the Flower Moon and this movie is so important. I’m glad he won many others. . . March pic. twitter. com/CbPqNENcbf11, 2024
Of course, not everyone perceives the scenario in the same way. While many imagine that Lily Gladstone would win, despite Emma Stone’s remarkable performance, some claim on Twitter that despite Gladstone’s remarkable performance, Emma Stone surprises in Poor Things and fully deserves it. The winner. . .
In the end, perhaps no one is as surprised by the end results as Emma Stone herself. She seemed legitimately surprised to hear his call on Oscar night, and there’s an argument that even Stone believed Gladstone would win the Oscar, so he wasn’t in a position when his call was announced. As another tweet pointed out

Lily Gladstone herself doesn’t seem too disappointed by Emma Stone’s win. She was excited for her friend, and Stone and Gladstone have become friends over the past few months as they competed together for prizes.
Rewarding the most productive in cinema is difficult, each and every one of the nominees is wonderful and probably deserves to win. On the one hand, you can’t usually make wrong decisions, but it also means that others are left out. Lily Gladstone did it. She didn’t make history as an Oscar-winning actress, but she did make history.
