Emma Stone _ Best Actress in a Leading Role _ Oscars 2024 Press Room Speech

Actress in a leading role, Emma Terry for Four Things. First question, 3.34, with 1.47 on deck. Hey Emma, to your right, it's Sam Rubin from KTLA, how are you? You seemed, more than I have ever seen on the Oscar stage, completely shocked. Oh boy. Well, I mean, I don't know if it was more than ever. Really? Really. Oh God. I think I blacked out. Yes, I was very shocked. I still feel like I'm spinning a little bit. So, yes, it was, it's a huge honor and I'm very, yes, I'm very surprised. Next question, 1.47. Hi, Kara Warner, Vandy Fair. I just would like to, a little levity, check on the dress. Yes. They sewed me back in. Oh my God. They, right when I came back, they sewed me back in, which was wonderful. I genuinely do think I busted it during I'm Just Ken. I was so amazed by Ryan and what he was doing and that number just blew my mind. I was right there and I just was going for it and, you know, things happen. Final question is going to be virtual, if you can look into the camera. It's from Grupo Upsa Diario. Look into this camera? Emma, are you listening to me? Hi, yes. Hello. Okay. Hello, I'm Daniela Michelle from Honduras. Congratulations. You look beautiful, Emma, tonight. Thank you. I want to know what you learned to playing Bella Baxter in this movie. What I learned from playing Bella Baxter? Yeah. She is a character that is so important to me. I think the chance to play a person starting from scratch, but in a total metaphorical, can't really happen in real life way, who's gaining language and skills at a rapid pace every day and getting to sort of chart that course and realize that she was just full of joy and curiosity and a true love of not just the good but the challenging in life and was fascinated by all of it. That was an amazing lesson to take with me and to try to get to live in the shoes of every day. I really miss playing her ever since we wrapped filming, which was a long time ago. It was like two and a half years ago. I miss Bella. I'm really grateful that we got to celebrate the film tonight and over these past few months. Yeah, I just love her. Congratulations. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you guys so much.
