 "Oscars 2024: Emma Stone 'unhappy' and 'awkward' as host Jimmy Kimmel cracks a sexist joke on her film 'Poor Things'")
Not as controversial and chaotic as the 2022 Oscar ceremony, the 96th Academy Awards had its ups and downs. A moment that has gone viral on social media shows how Emma Stone was feeling uncomfortable and awkward as the host for the evening Jimmy Kimmel cracked a sexist joke on her film Poor Things.
What was the joke?
As the visual of her film played out, Jimmy said these were the only visuals from the film that were deemed fit to be played out publicly, mainly owing to the explicit content the film contains. The moment Jimmy cracked the joke, the actress could be seen whispering something in her husband’s ears and the video has gone viral on social media.
_Poor Things_ saw Emma Stone breathe life into her complex yet charming character, and as expected, she won the Best Actress academy award for her performance.
As she accepted her second Best Actress award, Stone said, “The other night, I was panicking, as you can kind of see, happens a lot.”
“That maybe something like this could happen, and Yorgos said to me, ‘Please take yourself out of it.’ And he was right, because it’s not about me. It’s about a team that came together to make something greater than the sum of its parts. And that is the best part about making movies. It’s all of us together,” added Stone.
The actress went on and stated, “I am so deeply honored to share this with every cast member, with every crew member, with every single person who poured their love and their care and their brilliance into the making of this film.”
“And, most importantly, my daughter, who’s gonna be 3 in three days and has turned our lives technicolor,” the star continued, before quoting pal Taylor Swift’s lyric: “I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl.” (Swift’s song “Bigger Than the Whole Sky” is from her Grammy-winning album Midnights.)"
