Emma Stone has now become a big name in Hollywood. Of course, the actress has always proved that she is one of the best around. But with the recent award-winning performance in “La La Land” she showed that nothing is impossible for a committed and dedicated actress like her.
Incidentally, it is not the first time that Miss Stone received so much appreciation and accolades for her acting. She was nominated for Oscar in the supporting actress category for her role in “Birdman” in 2015. Although Stone did not take home the trophy, her performance was highly lauded by the critics.
Interestingly, what “Birdman” could not do for her, her last release with Ryan Gosling managed to give her in abundance. If she continues to come out with such superb performances year after year, the young actress will surely need a huge mantel to put all those Oscars, BAFTA and Golden Globe awards at her home.
Check out the five best movies of Emma Stone and why you must really watch them.
