The camera caught her seemingly displeased reaction moments after
id you catch Emma Stone’s reaction to Jimmy Kimmel’s joke about her Oscar-nominated film Poor Things?
Shortly after the 96th Academy Awards aired a Best Picture nominee video montage for Poor Things at tonight’s ceremony, host Kimmel joked that the featured clips were the only scenes appropriate to air on television, alluding to the movie’s explicit rated-R content.
Cameras pivoted to Stone. She appeared to mouth something to husband Dave McCary, who laughed in response. Lip-reading fans quickly devised theories about what she might have said, with some suggesting that she quipped, “He’s a prick.”
Poor Things is one of tonight’s most nominated films, with a total 11 nominations in categories including Best Picture, Directing, Writing (Adapted Screenplay), Costume Design, and Cinematography. Stone herself is also nominated for Actress in a Leading Role, for her lead performance in the film as Bella Baxter.
Stone opened up about some of the sexually explicit scenes in Poor Things in a recent interview with NPR.
“I definitely didn’t think the way that Bella does. I didn’t have that sort of freedom and acceptance in the same way around sexuality,” she said. “But as time has gone on, I think that it’s been very illuminating to me. I mean, one of the conversations that I’ve talked a lot about, having worked with quite a few European people or people that were raised in cultures where nudity and sexuality is not as shame-filled, I guess, it’s been very interesting, you know, and also talking to Yorgos, who’s Greek, our director, it always kind of startles him how much violence is acceptable in sort of American media, but sexuality is, you know, really looked down upon—like, as if watching someone die onscreen is less challenging than watching someone experience pleasure. Yeah, it’s definitely expanded my mind more as I’ve gotten older, too, and sort of broken out of, you know, religion and things like that that I was exposed to at a younger age.”
