Cast & Performance
Emma Stone's Bella Baxter is one of cinema's great performances — physically committed, intellectually voracious, and genuinely transformative. Her second Oscar.
Mark Ruffalo's frustrated, hedonistic Duncan is a masterclass in comic emasculation — undone by a woman who refuses to be controlled.
Willem Dafoe's tender, grotesque Dr. Baxter is the moral paradox at the film's center — a creator who gives life but must ultimately let his creation go.
Direction
Yorgos Lanthimos won the Academy Award for Best Director for Poor Things — the most fully realized expression of his cinematic vision.
Music
Jerskin Fendrix's unsettling, anachronistic score is the sonic architecture of Bella's fractured, growing consciousness.
Production
Andrew Lowe and Ed Guiney of Element Pictures produced Poor Things — continuing their award-winning partnership with Lanthimos.
Streaming & Distribution
Searchlight Pictures distributed Poor Things globally — the specialty film label's biggest awards success since Nomadland.
