WOW! I did not expect Emma to get it. All actresses deserved it. ---

Eeeeeeee!!! Emma! I loved Poor Things. The Lobster is on of my favorite screenplays. Glad Yorgos was nominated. ---

Well, you have your finger on the pulse of Academy politics, don’t you? I just realized Emma Stone could walk away with two Oscars tonight (she’s a producer on Poor Things). Probably won’t, but still… ---

Glad to see that Emma beat the odds! As I said earlier, I’d say that any of the three I named would have deserved it. CNN says this was one of the few races considered a toss-up. ---
