Emma Stone‘s two 2026 Oscar nominations on Thursday — best picture for producing and best actress for starring in Bugonia — broke a few Oscar records.
The 37-year-old has become the second-youngest person — and the youngest woman — in Oscar history to accumulate seven nominations. Only Walt Disney was younger when he reached that tally in 1936, at just 34. Meryl Streep had held the record for women; she was 38 when she was nominated for the seventh time, back in 1988.
Stone also became the first woman to be nominated twice for producing and acting in a single film. Frances McDormand was the first, for 2021’s Nomadland. Stone followed with dual noms for 2023’s Poor Things. And now she has done it again.
Of Stone’s five noms prior to Thursday’s, two resulted in wins, both in the category of best actress: for 2016’s La La Land and for Poor Things. Only two women have ever won best actress three or more times: Katharine Hepburn, who won four times, and McDormand, who won three.
Stone was nominated in the best actress category 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).
