Poor Things has 11 nominations for the upcoming Academy accolades and is expected to win numerous accolades.
Tony McNamara, the film’s writer and nominee for Best Adapted Screenplay, stated, “Quite a few people said to me they didn’t know they needed to see a movie as wild as this, but as soon as they saw it, they said it made them feel like cinema was alive and they could imagine beyond what they thought was possible.”
The film, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, has previously won numerous awards.
The response was so tremendous that Emma Stone, the lead actress, admitted she was originally hesitant to play the character.
“I felt like I was failing her in the first week and failing Yorgos. It was just difficult. I could talk to him about it,” she told the filmmaker in the Variety interview.
She continued, “I think because I had lived with her in my mind for so long and I was so deeply in love with Bella, it terrified me not to live up to her as a character.”
