discussion Is Emma Stone *thee* actress of our time?

[Feanor]

 

Look at the material…

 

 

 

Already an Oscar winner for Best Actress for La La Land (and 4-time acting nominee), she's also currently predicted to win her 2nd Best Actress Oscar for Poor Things.

 

So all in all, would you say that Emma Stone is thee actress of our time? Or do you think it's someone else?

Easily 

 

 

[Antisocialites]

Definitely.

[Kern]

Without a doubt 

[alexrex]

No

[GraceRandolph]

Jessica Chastain is.

[jonapova]

Our time as in alive and still making movies? Then no, that’s Meryl Streep.

If you mean of a certain age then I would argue Amy Adams or Jessica Chastain, but she’s top 3. 

[Kayseri Mantisi]

Can't wait for Cruella 2 

[Tylerbv]

Maybe.

 

I’ve only seen her in Easy A though  I think she has a great team behind her for marketing/promo though because it’s nuts how many accolades she has. Especially in the Oscars.

[uusagii]

Is that supposed to be an impressive filmography?

[KarmaCat]

Yes, have you seen her in Cruella and Poor Things? PHENOMENAL.

 

I thought she’d be eaten alive by the larger than life character of Cruella, but wow she gave the role justice and more.

[prézli]

No, it's Amy Adams, the most nominated actress without a single win.

[ctlp27]

Love her but she doesnt have the body of work to get that title yet (which also is very English centric). 

[Trent W]

You mean millennials? 
 

Yeah probably

She was the actress of the 80s, but no way she’s still THE actress of the 2020s.

Gaga, sweeteeh

[Bosque]

Maybe the most overrated actress of our time 

[TROJAN]

I’ve only heard of one of those 

[Leptine]

I don't think that being the "actress of our time" can be measured only with critical acclaimed movies and Oscars, Stone is definitely between the best actresses of our generation but I feel like Jennifer Lawrence despite her recent decline suits more in that title, other than the Oscar, she had the big media presence and popularity also with the general audience that Stone hasn't reached in the same way yet.

[LoveInStereo]

Poll options should be “yes” and “I haven’t seen Poor Things yet”

[Heldenzeit]

Aren't Meryl and Angela still alive?

Idk, are The help and Lalaland considered classic after all? I barely see anyone reference her movies/roles
