Emma Stone, the Oscar-winning actress, attended the press conference of her new film 'Kinds Of Kindness' at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. During the event, a journalist from Kazakhstan's 98 Magazine called her by her real name, Emily. Stone corrected the journalist and said, 'My name is Emily, thank you.' She explained in a recent interview that she had to change her name to Emma because another actress already had the name Emily Stone registered with the Screen Actors Guild. The film 'Kinds Of Kindness' is directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and features a talented cast including Willem Dafoe, Hunter Schafer, Jesse Plemons, and Margaret Qualley. It is a triptych fable with a release date of June 21, 2024. [8756c6ae]
Lily Gladstone, the star of 'Killers of the Flower Moon', made history as the first Native American woman nominated for the Best Actress Oscar. Despite losing to Emma Stone for 'Poor Things', her tribe, Blackfeet Nation, celebrated her Golden Globe win with 'a Lily Gladstone Day' in Montana. Gladstone said the people from her tribe thought she had won an Oscar when in fact she had earned the Golden Globe. 'Nobody was upset that it didn't happen,' she said about her Oscars loss. When she went home after the Academy Awards ceremony, Gladstone said her tribe, which is part of a confederacy, came together for 'a Lily Gladstone Day'. 'It was the biggest honour anybody could get. The confederacy decided together that they wanted to do it. It was a beautiful homecoming, and I could see my old house, the house I was brought to as a baby, right across from me. Two thousand people showed up, from every corner of the US. It was absolutely one of the most moving things that has ever happened in my life. Getting to witness what the impact (of 'Killers of the Flower Moon') was, going home to Montana and really having this moment shared by my tribe... it was amazing,' she said. [6374382e]
