View source

Emma Stone received two Oscar nominations for 2026, for Best Picture (producing Bugonia) and Best Actress (Bugonia). These nominations established new Oscar records.

Stone, aged 37, became the second-youngest individual and the youngest woman in Oscar history to accumulate seven nominations. Walt Disney held the record for youngest overall, reaching seven nominations at age 34 in 1936. Meryl Streep previously held the record for women, reaching seven nominations at age 38 in 1988.

Stone also became the first woman to receive nominations for both producing and acting in a single film on two separate occasions. Frances McDormand was the first to achieve this for Nomadland in 2021, followed by Stone for Poor Things in 2023.

Of Stone's five previous nominations, she won Best Actress twice, for La La Land (2016) and Poor Things. Only three women have won Best Actress three or more times: Katharine Hepburn (four wins), and Frances McDormand and Meryl Streep (three wins each).

For Best Actress, Stone was nominated alongside Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Kate Hudson (Song Sung Blue), and Renate Reinsve (Sentimental Value).

In the Best Picture category, Bugonia was nominated alongside F1, Frankenstein, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, The Secret Agent, Sentimental Value, and Sinners.

Bugonia also received nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay (Will Tracy) and Best Original Score (Jerskin Fendrix).
