In what was an incredible year for women in the movie industry, Emma Stone has won the award for Best Actress at the Oscars.
Winning an award at the Oscars is a monumental moment in anyone's life, as it cements the recipient in the history of show business as not many people get their hands on the coveted trophy.
The Best Actress award is one of the most hotly contested of the year, and this year was no different as those up for the awards were all very deserving recipients.
This year's nominees were: Annette Bening for Nyad, Lily Gladstone for Killers of the Flower Moon, Sandra Hüller for Anatomy of a Fall, Carey Mulligan for Maestro, and Emma Stone for Poor Things.
Annette Bening got the nod for portraying Diana Nyad, in Nyad, which followed the character as she attempted to become the first person ever to swim from Cuba to Florida.
Lily Gladstone was one of the standout performers of the year as she starred opposite Leonardo Di Caprio, giving a compelling performance in Killers of the Flower Moon.
Sandra Hüller arguably had the best year going, as she not only got nominated for her role in Anatomy of a Fall which centers around her character defending herself in court as she stands accused of killing her husband, but she also had a leading role in Zone of Interest - also nominated for Best Picture.
Carey Mulligan is no stranger to the Oscars, and her performance in Maestro gave her yet another nod and she would have been a deserving recipient.
Emma Stone is also familiar with the feeling of winning an Oscar as year after year she shows us why she is one of the best actresses on the planet, and this year was no different. Playing Bella Baxter in Poor Things, her remarkable performance already earned her a BAFTA award.
Each of these incredible performances was worthy of the award, but in the end, only one of them could take the golden statue home.
Emma Stone was the worthy recipient of Actress in a Leading Role this year.
Her amazing performance in La La Land gave Stone her first Academy Award, and now she'll have to make room in her cabinet for another!
