How Emma Stone Plans to Celebrate Poor Things’ Golden Globes Triumph
Poor Things, which chronicles the whirlwind adventure of Bella Baxter; a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist, Dr. Godwin Baxter, proved to be the underdog winner at the 81st Golden Globe Awards.
The science fiction black comedy, which was made with a relatively low budget of $35 million, blew high-profile projects likeBarbieout of the water in two major categories. Apart from the aforementioned success, the film’s lead star,Emma Stone, won the award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.
Big nights deserve big celebrations. ThePoor Thingsteam, which includes Yorgos Lanthimos and Mark Ruffalo, were asked how they plan to celebrate this achievement.
Accordingly, Stone quipped:“We do have a party bus that we all rode here on.”

How Jennifer Lawrence Reacted to Emma Stone’s Golden Globes Win
Apart from Stone and Margot Robbie,Jennifer Lawrencewas also among the six nominees for best actress in a musical or comedy. Lawrence got the nod for leading the raunchy s-x comedy,No Hard Feelings.
When a camera panned towards her during the announcement of the nominees, she was seen mouthing,“If I don’t win, I’m leaving.”
However, as soon as Stone was announced the winner, Lawrence forgot her hilarious ‘threat’ and threw her hands in the air to celebrate thePoor Thingsstar’s victory and appeared to yell,“Mother!”
They have been friends for over a decade thanks to Woody Harrelson, who supposedly acted as the bridge after working with Stone and Lawrence inZombielandandThe Hunger Games.
