Here's How People Felt About Emma Stone's Reaction To Losing To Lily Gladstone At The 2024 SAGs

Nothing like being a good sport.

So, the Screen Actors Guild awards (the SAGs if you're into the whole brevity thing) went down last night. Here's a pic of the statuette the lucky winners took home.

The nominations for these things are always stacked, and this year was no exception. One particularly close contest was in the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role category, where Lily Gladstone's incredible turn in Killers of the Flower Moon...

Was up against Emma Stone's brilliant performance in Poor Things.

Ultimately, Lily โ€” who has been a strong favorite throughout awards season, and for good reason โ€” took home the trophy. And her speech was excellent.

โ€œItโ€™s truly a gift that we get to do this for a living," she said. "Thatโ€™s the win. It was getting to be here, it was getting to be on set. It was getting to tell stories. We bring empathy into a world that so much needs it. Itโ€™s so easy to distance ourselves. Itโ€™s so easy to close off to stop feeling, and we all bravely keep feeling, and that humanizes people. That brings people out of the shadows; it brings visibility.โ€

โ€œKeep telling stories to everybody in this room, to everybody watching abroad," Lily added. "Those of you who are not actors but have a voice, have a story that needs to be heard. Thank you for all of the compassionate souls in this room and all of the storytellers here tonight. Keep speaking your truths, and keep speaking up for each other.โ€

Lily's words were powerful โ€” and Emma's reaction to Lily winning over her was also extremely heartwarming. Just look at the enthusiasm she shows. How sweet!

Emma Stone being far more excited for her competitors/co-stars winning acting prizes than she is for winning anything herself is my favourite thing #SAGAwards https://t.co/oefsvnqiQy

I'm sure Emma prepared at home to be as happy if Lily or her got it, and honestly good for her for doing that. That's great sportsmanship. They both towered this year and this could have gone either way - still could at the Oscars. https://t.co/WGJfymehO4
