The 96th Oscars 2024 are trending all across the internet, and the winners have already created a huge buzz. While Oppenheimer continues to rule the charts, it was Emma Stone who won her second Academy Award as a lead actress for Poor Things.
The movie was all about an adult woman who dies of suicide and is brought back to life, but with the implanted brain of a child. Emma Stone plays the character of an uninhibited, sexually active woman. Poor Things goes on to show some bold and audacious sex scenes and full-frontal male and female nudity.
Did you know that the director of Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos, wanted to hire an intimacy director to train Emma Stone for sex scenes? However, the actress rejected the idea of working with an intimacy coordinator, thinking she could pull it off.

“I did think, OK, well, Yorgos (Lanthimos) and I have made three films together. I feel very comfortable with him. The DP, Robbie Ryan, and I did The Favorite together, and I feel comfortable with him. Our first AD is a woman, Hayley, who`s incredible. Our focus puller is a woman. You know, I felt like I`d be fine in this circumstance. And these are my friends, and I know everybody well,” she said.
However, things took a drastic and dramatic turn when she met Elle McAlpine, the intimacy coordinator for Poor Things.

“I felt so stupid that I thought that that wouldn`t be a necessary situation. Having her there felt like having both a safety net and a choreographer and a hand to hold," said the Crazy Stupid Love actress.
She further added, "And, you know, she and I would text after a day of doing some of these scenes and just sort of say how we were feeling and what was going on. And it was just this really beautiful relationship that I found extremely, extremely meaningful.”
Emma Stone won her second Academy Award at the 96th Oscar in 2024 for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Poor Things. She previously took home the prestigious trophy for her exceptional performance in the romantic musical La La Land, co-starring Ryan Gosling.
