Emma Stone is shutting down the notion she was pissed off at Jimmy Kimmel when he cracked a joke about her movie, “Poor Things,” while hosting the Oscars this year.
Remember, Emma went viral during the Academy Awards as she seemingly called Jimmy a “prick” after he poked fun at “Poor Things” for all its sex scenes. The camera caught her mouthing something immediately after Jimmy’s shot — however, Emma’s now telling The Hollywood Reporter she didn’t have any beef.

She said … “I didn’t call him a prick. I wasn’t upset with him at all. I’ll have to look that up.”
As Emma put it, she doesn’t offend easily … so it’s unlikely she was upset with Jimmy over the roasting remark.
Even if she was secretly rattled by Jimmy’s comment … we’re sure this isn’t the moment she wants to be associated with from the 2024 Oscars. Emma did win an Oscar after all.
ICYMI … Emma took home her 2nd Academy Award for her work as Bella Baxter in Yorgos Lanthimos‘ sci-fi flick. She previously won for her role in 2016’s “La La Land.”
Still, Emma didn’t expect to take home this year’s Oscar … as she was thoroughly shocked when she took the stage, thanking the film’s cast and crew.
Some were upset by Emma’s win … with many rooting for “Killers of the Flower Moon” actress Lily Gladstone heading into the awards show.
Lily was unbothered, however, and had a great time at the afterparties.
As for Emma … she says it was all good for her, too — no matter how it appeared on the Oscars broadcast.
