Emma Stone Makes Oscar History With Seven Nominations and Bugonia Breakthrough

Emma Stone BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Emma Stone, the Arizona-raised Oscar darling, just shattered records with her latest Academy Awards nods for Bugonia, the offbeat Yorgos Lanthimos dark comedy where she shaved her head for the gender-swapped lead. Copper Courier reports she snagged her sixth Best Actress nomination on January 23, 2026, facing off against Jessie Buckley for Hamnet, Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs Id Kick You, Kate Hudson for Song Sung Blue, and Renate Reinsve for Sentimental Value. But thats just half the story: as producer, she also earned a Best Picture nod, making her the youngest woman at 37 to hit seven total nominations, eclipsing Meryl Streeps mark set at 38, per iHeart and Page Six via Magic96. Shes won twice before, for La La Land in 2017 and Poor Things in 2024, and Radio Times notes shes now the first woman nominated for acting and producing the same film twice, after Poor Things.

This dual breakthrough cements Stones fearless streak, diving into weird roles post-wins when others play safe, as Copper Courier highlights. Bugonia, a remake of a South Korean hit, also vies for Best Score and Adapted Screenplay, though co-star Jesse Plemons got snubbed for Best Actor, sparking buzz on CinemaBlend. No fresh public appearances or business moves surfaced in the last few days, but social media exploded with a resurfaced 2012 iCarly cameo where her unhinged superfan crashes the set for selfies, amassing over 5 million X views since January 21 amid the Oscar hype. CinemaBlend calls it a hilarious throwback to her comedy roots in Superbad and Easy A, perfectly timed as Hollywood crowns her elite status. Paste Magazine praises her four-film synergy with Lanthimos, from The Favourite to this, signaling more boundary-pushing ahead. With the 98th Oscars set for March 15 hosted by Conan OBrien, expect Buckley as favorite, but dont bet against Stones upset magic. All verified from major outlets; no unconfirmed whispers yet.
