Stone took to the stage, hiking up the fringed skirt on her champagne-gold Givenchy gown as she ascended the stairs to kiss Leonardo DiCaprio and accept her statue. The 28-year-old Scottsdale, Arizona, native and Valley Youth Theatre alum formerly known as Emily gave a breathy speech. She thanked the musical film's director, Damien Chazelle, and her costar, Ryan Gosling. Wearing Tiffany earrings and a Planned Parenthood pin, she called the win "a huge confluence of luck and opportunity," promising to "hug the hell out" of people who helped her get there. The 89th Academy Award had a messy ceremony, helmed by Jimmy Kimmel. It ended in a surprise switch-up, with Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty accidentally awarding the best picture Oscar to La La Land because they were given the wrong envelope. The awards wrapped with director Barry Jenkins and his team accepting the best picture award for Moonlight. Although she was up against Ruth Negga, Meryl Streep, Isabelle Huppert, and Natalie Portman, Stone had already racked up wins for her La La Land performance at the BAFTAs and the Golden Globes. She plays an aspiring actress with a Shitty Musician Boyfriend in Chazelle's love letter to creative perseverance, a musical that's light on song but has heart. La La Land is, at risk of sounding like Statler and Waldorf, a movie whose best part is the ending.

Brie Larson, last year's best actress winner, was on hand to congratulate on her friend Stone backstage. The result was the sweetest hug where they both bawled... The feeling was mutual. In her acceptance speech, Stone gave her friends "who I love so much" a huge thank you shoutout. "I'm going to hug the hell out of you when feeling reenters my body," she said.
