Emma Stone wins second career best actress Oscar for 'Poor Things' in tight race with Lily Gladstone

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A stunned Emma Stone won the best actress Oscar for “Poor Things,” her second career victory in the category.

She triumphed over Lily Gladstone of “Killers of the Flower Moon” on Sunday night in a race most pundits said was too close to call. Gladstone would have been the first Native American to win a competitive Oscar.

Stone appeared shocked when last year's winner, Michelle Yeoh, announced her name. She hugged and kissed her husband, Dave McCary, before moving into the aisle to hug co-star Mark Ruffalo and director Yorgos Lanthimos.

“I think I blacked out,” she said backstage. “Yes, I was very shocked. I still feel like I’m spinning a little bit.”
