Emma Stone wins best actress Oscar, ending Lily Gladstone's historic run

When Lily Gladstone was nominated for the lead actress Oscar for "Killers of the Flower Moon," she sparked a wave of hope inside and outside Hollywood that she would become the first Native American to win the prize, in the Academy Awards' 96th year.

And though she received a robust wave of applause when her name was announced during the presentation of the nominees, her journey ended in disappointment as "Poor Things'" Emma Stone claimed the lead actress honor instead.

"It's not about me — it's about a team that came together to make something greater than the sum of its parts," said Stone, in tears, upon claiming her second lead actress Oscar, having previously won for "La La Land" in 2017. There was surprise in the room and even on stage: Jennifer Lawrence, one of the presenters, lifted her hands to her mouth in shock as Michelle Yeoh read Stone’s name.

The honor followed on the heels of her BAFTA win for Yorgos Lanthimos' puckish spin on the costume drama, in which Stone plays a woman who finds liberation and self-actualization after being brought back to life by an eccentric surgeon. As a producer on the film, Stone also was nominated for best picture, capping off a triumphant year offscreen as well: Through Fruit Tree, Stone's production company with husband Dave McCary, she also was behind acclaimed TV series "The Curse," recent indie release "Problemista" and Sundance darlings "I Saw the TV Glow" and "A Real Pain."
