Emma Stone has made Oscars history, becoming the youngest woman ever to receive seven Academy Award nominations following her latest recognition for Bugonia. The 37-year-old actor earned two nominations on Thursday for Bugonia, in which she both produces and stars. With the new nods, Stone surpasses Meryl Streep, who was 38 when she received her seventh nomination for Ironweed in 1988. Stone is now the second-youngest person overall to reach seven nominations, behind the late Walt Disney, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Streep – who widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time – holds a record 21 Oscar nominations and has won three times: best supporting actress for Kramer vs Kramer and best actress for Sophie’s Choice and The Iron Lady. Stone previously won best actress for La La Land in 2017 and Poor Things in 2024. Her latest nomination comes for her role as Michelle Fuller, a ruthless pharmaceutical CEO, in Yorgos Lanthimos’ dark comedy Bugonia.
