Luckily for audiences around the world, Emma Stone — who has been nominated for multiple major awards throughout her career and took home the Academy Award for best actress in 2017 for “La La Land” — also told the audience at the Palm Springs International Film Festival that she has no intention of stopping her marathon any time soon.
“I have so much gratitude genuinely for this moment,” Stone said during her speech. “I’m grateful that I get to keep trying new things and for the opportunity to make choices when it comes to work because I know how rare and fleeting it could be to choose what you wanna do or who you wanna work with as an actor. I am really so thankful for that. I hope for many more years of the chance to take swings and to try new things and to keep this marathon going.”
IndieWire also notes that Stone devoted a portion of her speech to director Yorgos Lanthimos, with whom she’s worked on two films, plus a third on the way in “Kinds of Kindness.” The actor lavished praise upon her frequent collaborator, calling him her “true creative soulmate.”
