Stone’s rollercoaster ride of a speech, in which she expressed her love for the Poor Things team and, most importantly, her character, Bella Baxter, eventually circled around her family. Before she completed, she hugged her mother, “Brother Spencer”, her father and her husband, Dave.
Nevertheless, she had to acknowledge her Swiftie status and give a shout-out to her daughter, “who’s gonna be three in three days and has turned (their) lives technicolour,” before leaving the stage. Stone admitted that she loved her daughter “bigger than the whole sky,” alluding to a song by the Grammy winner from her Midnights album.
