Emma Stone won her second Golden Globe, for her performance in “Poor Things,” a comedy-drama riff on the Frankenstein legend. In the film, she plays Bella, a Victorian-era woman who was brought back to life with the brain of a fetus; her performance was widely praised by critics.

Manohla Dargis wrote in The New York Times that Stone “builds her performance so discreetly — with words, gestures and footfalls that stagger and halt only to then seamlessly flow together — that it can seem as if all the changes Bella experiences were emanating from deep within the character, not the actor.”

The film solidified Stone’s partnership with the Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, with whom she made the 2018 film “The Favourite.” Stone previously won a Golden Globe in 2017 for her performance in “La La Land.”

“I’m a girl from Arizona and he’s a guy from Athens. I don’t know how this worked, because our personalities could not be more different, but it’s amazing,” Stone said in an interview with The New York Times last year.
