Emma Stone

THANK YOU, EMMA STONE

Emma Stone didn’t let a few late Oscar parties keep her from missing her LAX flight out of town this morning. She was last year’s Oscar winning Best Actress and created quite a stir when she presented the Best Director award at the Oscars last night. She said “It is the vision of a director that turns a movie into a work of art – these four men and Greta Gerwig created their own masterpieces this year.” It was a subtle but effective reminder of the constant absence of women the category. Men NEED to be reminded of this as often as possible until changes are made. People on Twitter later criticized Emma for being “dismissive” of the male nominees, but haven’t women in Hollywood (and other places) been dismissed for far too long? Nice work, Emma!

DIANE KEATON: FROM RITE-AID TO AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Our Rite-Aid shopper Diane Keaton was honored with an AFI Life Achievement Award last night. At least two of her ex-boyfriends (Warren Beatty and Al Pacino) were honored years ago. Diane joked that the festive event was “The wedding I never had and the retirement party I never wanted!” You can see her trademark wide belt in person and in her photos on the walls. Apparently she inspired women attending the event to be creative, and Emma Stone turned up in this imaginative dress.

EMMA STONE DOESN’T LET BOYFRIEND ANDREW GARFIELD GET AWAY WITH MUCH

We LOVE Emma Stone for being sensitive to sexist comments – including from her boyfriend! Emma, 25, and her boyfriend /costar Andrew Garfield, 30, were in Berlin promoting their movie “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” when a child asked how the Spider-Man costume was made. Andrew glibly replied “He made it with his bare hands. He sewed it. He took some sewing classes – it’s kind of a feminine thing to do. He made a very masculine costume out of a feminine…” Emma gave him a meaningful look and interrupted: “How EXACTLY is it feminine?” Garfield blanched “It’s amazing you took that as an insult!” “I’m not taking it as an insult – I’m asking how it’s feminine!” Andrew stammered something about using the word feminine as a “compliment,” but we presume he GOT the point and will henceforth, choose his words more carefully. Thank you Emma!
