In her acceptance speech, Stone thanked the director of 'Poor Things', Yorgos Lanthimos, who also helmed 'The Favourite'. She said he was a genius and a visionary, and that she was honored to work with him again. She also thanked her co-stars, especially Robert Pattinson, who played her love interest Archibald McCandless. She said he was a joy to work with and a great friend. She also thanked her family, her team, and her fans for their support and love.
Stone ended her speech by dedicating her award to Alasdair Gray, the author of 'Poor Things', who passed away in 2019. She said he was a brilliant writer and a true original, and that she hoped he would be proud of the film adaptation of his book. She said she was grateful for his legacy and his inspiration.
