Emma Stone has put an end to rumors that Jimmy Kimmel offended her during the 2024 Oscars. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter on April 24, Stone denied calling Kimmel a “prick” or being upset with him in any way. “No!” Stone exclaimed. “What did I say? I didn’t call him a prick. I wasn’t upset with him at all. I’ll have to look that up.” Stone’s comments come after Kimmel made a joke about the sexually explicit nature of “Poor Things” during the Oscars ceremony. After a montage from the film was played, Kimmel quipped, “Those were all the parts of ‘Poor Things’ we’re allowed to show on TV.” The camera then panned to Stone, who appeared to roll her eyes and say something to her husband, Dave McCary. Internet sleuths quickly speculated that Stone had called Kimmel a “prick,” but the actress has now denied those claims. “I’m near-unoffendable,” Stone said. “I’m not easily offended.” Stone also took the opportunity to praise Kimmel, calling him a “great host” and a “wonderful person.” She said that she has known Kimmel for many years and that he is always kind and supportive. “He’s a good friend,” Stone said. “I really like him.” The speculation about Stone’s reaction to Kimmel’s joke overshadowed her historic win for Best Actress for her performance in “Poor Things.” Stone became the first actress to win an Oscar for a role in a female-directed film since 1988. She also thanked the other women nominated in her category—Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Hüller, and Carey Mulligan—as well as the film’s director, Yorgos Lanthimos. “It’s not about me,” Stone said. “It’s about a team that came together to make something greater than the sum of its parts. And that is the best part about making movies, is all of us together.” Stone’s win is a major victory for female filmmakers and actors. It is a sign that the industry is finally starting to recognize the contributions of women and that there is a growing demand for female-led stories. Stone’s performance in “Poor Things” is a tour de force, and she is deserving of all the accolades she has received. Her win is a reminder that women are just as capable as men of creating great art and that they deserve to be recognized for their achievements.
