The year in which Antonio Banderas was nominated for the Oscar as best actor for

Pain and Glory

(2019), he said that he had no chance of winning because Joaquin Phoenix had spent "three towns" with his leading role in

Joker

.

The same reasoning could well be applied to

Emma Stone in

Poor Creatures

, a role as suicidal as it is savage that has helped her win her

second Oscar for best actress

.

Winner of the same award for

La La Land

,

it gave her access to an Olympus inhabited by few goddesses, Bette Davis, Meryl Streep (who has won a third Oscar in the supporting actress category), Ingrid Bergman, Vivien Leigh, Jane Fonda and Jodie Foster among them.

Emma Stone

had already won a series of awards for

Poor Creatures

, including the Bafta for best actress and the

Golden Globe

for best actress in a musical or comedy, but the Oscar seemed more complex, with half the bets inclined by

Lily Gladstone

, the indigenous actress who starred in

The Moon Killers

.

Perhaps that is why Stone trembled when she went up to receive the Oscar, and she did not forget to dedicate a few words to her main rival in the race for glory.

"It has been a great honor to do this with you and I hope we continue to do it together," she said.

Her risky bet has ended up giving an extraordinary result to the actress

born and raised in a town in Arizona 35 years ago

, daughter of a construction businessman and a housewife.

Emma Stone plays Bella Baxter in the very graphic and dizzying proposal by the Greek

Giórgos Lanthimos

, a suicide who rescues a kind of Doctor Frankenstein from the sea to implant the brain of a child, forced to learn everything from scratch.

Barbie, humiliated at the Oscars, has no one who loves her

The indefatigable Bella says and does what her most primary instincts dictate, and in that exploration she discovers sex

without complexes

, becomes a whore in Paris and provokes the viewer in a constant and continuous way.

She was a role more than suitable for an Oscar, an undisputed favorite if it had not been for Gladstone's magnificent work in Martin Scorsese's film.

The foreseeable triumph of Lily Gladstone was

a nod to the

woke

culture that permeates Los Angeles in general and in the Hollywood film industry in particular.

Until now she had never won for an

Indian American actress

, and the occasion seemed unmissable in the midst of the American Film Academy's desire to reinvent itself and continue showing the most inclusive side of itself.

The thousands of voters let her pass them by.

It was also the opportunity to correct, even if indirectly, the mistake with

Sacheen Littlefeather

, the Apache actress and activist that

Marlon Brandon

sent in 1973 to reject the Oscar for best actor.

She had already paid tribute to him in September of last year, months before she died, but the Oscar tasted even better for that community.

Emma Stone's triumph

is

confirmation that her partnership with Lanthimos works.

In her previous work with

The Favorite

(2018), she was also nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actress, although she was aware of the difficulty that the next proposal entailed and the controversy that it could generate.

He admits that he was a little panicked about facing her character, but that he ended up falling in love with her.

"I was terrified that I wouldn't live up to her as a character," she said.

Now he misses her.

"She is a very important character for me because of the opportunity to do something like that from the beginning and enjoy her evolution. I miss Bella. I adore her."
