Last year’s acting winners are returning to the Oscars.
Actors Robert Downey Jr., Cillian Murphy, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Emma Stone are set to take the stage at the Oscars next month.
Actress Stone bagged the top actress award for her spine-tingling depiction of Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.” Previously, she had triumphed in the same category back in 2017 for her role as an aspiring actress in Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land.
Last year, Randolph, who portrayed Mary Lamb in “The Holdovers,” received her initial Oscar for her moving performance as a grieving mother. Additionally, both Murphy and Downey Jr., each receiving an award for the first time, won for their roles in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” That evening, the film garnered seven awards overall, among which was the best picture category.
