It’s a race for The Oscars, and more than the stars, writers, and filmmakers, it’s the general public and fans that are excited to see these individuals being recognized for their contributions to cinema in the last year. And recently, with The Academy revealing its list of nominees, Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone seem to be leading the way in the Best Actress category.

One of the most prestigious and tremendously sought-after recognitions in the film industry, the list is packed with three equally talented and deserving actresses along with the aforementioned two, and it’s anyone’s guess who the awards might go to. But Gladstone and Stone are a natural choice when it comes to favorites.
Emma Stone And Lily Gladstone Are Favorites For Winning The Oscar For Best Actress
For anyone involved in cinema, the one thing they want to be recognized for their contributions to the film industry is through an Oscar Award to their name or the name of their project. Rightfully considered the premier stage for commemorating the efforts of everyone involved in a cinematic endeavor, winning in one of the several categories is often life-changing for anyone.
And with the night of the awards fast approaching, the nominees for Best Actress in a Leading Role have been released, which includes the crowd favoritesEmma StoneandLily Gladstone. While Stone may be receiving the nomination for her exceptional performance inPoor Things, Gladstone isn’t far behind when it comes to delivering an unforgettable experience in Martin Scorsese’sKillers of the Flower Moon.

In the eyes of the audience, it’s a battle of Stones for the grand recognition at the grand stage, and people are placing their bets on these two along with the others on the list. While it may be close to impossible to judge who will win in the end, people compare their performances and make assumptions about the future.

So far, the opinions are constantly on a shift, but the overwhelming response for Gladstone to win The Academy Award is just a little bit more than fans’ cry for Stone as the rightful winner.
How Gladstone Shined More Than Stone
One of the main reasons why people are vying for Gladstone’s win at The Oscars has to do with her absolutely phenomenal performance inKillers of the Flower Moon.
Despite many rooting for the actress for the simple fact that Stone has already received an Oscar in this category in the past forLa La Land, the sheer emotional rollercoaster that Gladstone brought to the film was by far the most impactful among them all. Also, seeing as she has already received a win at The Golden Globe Awards, fans are more confident she’ll repeat this on the night of The Academy Awards as well.
