Emma Stone Quotes Taylor Swift Lyric While Thanking Daughter in Emotional Second Oscar Win

Emma Stone just won her second Academy Award.

The star, 35, won best actress at the 2024 Academy Awards on Sunday. Previous winners Michelle Yeoh, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Sally Field and Jessica Lange presented the award.

“My voice is also a little off — whatever,” Stone said in her speech, after also acknowledging her “broken” dress.

She added, “I was panicking the other night, as you can see, it happens a lot. Maybe something like this could happen, and Yorgos said to me, ‘Please, get 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’s the best part about making movies. We’re all together.”

“I am deeply honored to be able to share this with every member of the cast, with every member of the crew, with every single person who poured their love, their care and their brilliance into the making of this film,” said Stone.

Stone later added, “I know I have to finish, but I really just want to thank my family. My mom, my brother Spencer, my dad, my husband Dave [McCary]I love you very much.”

“And, most importantly, my daughter, who will be 3 in three days and who has turned our lives around,” the star continued, before quoting friend Taylor Swift’s lines: “I love you more than the sky, my girl. ” (Swift’s song “Bigger Than the Whole Sky” is from her Grammy-winning album Midnight.)

Stone received her fourth acting award at the Academy Awards. As Bella Baxter, the actress walks through Victorian London with the brain of an unborn child.

Stone recently told NPR that she wouldn’t have gotten to this point in her Hollywood career without her parents’ support.

“I know that none of this, obviously, would have been possible without their support, especially at that age,” she said. “I mean, it wasn’t like I graduated from high school and I was like, ‘Okay, hi. I’m going to fly or bus or drive to LA to try to do this.’ It was impossible without their support.”

Gladstone, who is of Siksikaitsitapi and Niimiipuu descent, is the first Native American actress to be nominated for an Oscar. She is the fourth Indigenous actress ever to receive a nomination in this category.

As Osage woman Mollie Kyle, wife of Ernest Burkhart (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), Gladstone, 37, emerged as a breakout star from director Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.

The film is about the Osage murders committed by crime boss William Hale (played by Robert De Niro).

This year, the actress was the first Indian to win a Golden Globe and a SAG Award, delivering part of her speech in her native Blackfoot language.

Gladstone previously told PEOPLE that her father once encouraged her after she was bullied as a child, saying, “Everybody will want to be your friend when you win an Oscar.”

In addition, during her sophomore year of high school, Gladstone’s first boyfriend gave her a significant gift: “tiny little baby star glasses” from an award machine, to be saved for a very special time.

“He said, ‘You have to keep them and you have to wear them to the Oscars when you’re gone for a year,'” she said.

About making her character, said Hüller Diversity, “I wanted to create someone who could do that, I wanted some people to be a little bit afraid of her. Because why do we always have to be sweet and good victims and all that stuff?”
