Emma Stone has made history at the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences by receiving two nominations for the 2026 Oscars – for Best Picture as a producer and for Best Actress in the film “Bugonia.” Her success is accompanied by a series of record-breaking achievements.

Youngest Woman with Seven Nominations
At the time of the nominations announcement, 37-year-old Stone became the second youngest person in Oscar history to receive seven nominations, and the youngest woman to achieve this milestone. The only person younger than her was Walt Disney, who reached seven nominations at the age of 34 back in 1936. Among women, the previous record was held by Meryl Streep, who received her seventh nomination at 38 years old in 1988.
Unique Achievements Among Women Producers and Actresses
Additionally, Stone became the first woman to be nominated simultaneously for both producing and acting in the same film. This combination of nominations was first achieved by Frances McDormand in 2021 for the film “Nomadland.” Stone replicated this feat in 2023 with the film “Poor Things,” and in 2026, she received two nominations again for “Bugonia.”
“37-year-old Stone became the second youngest person in Oscar history to gather seven nominations, as well as the youngest woman to achieve this result.

Among women, this record was previously held by Meryl Streep – she was 38 years old when she received her seventh nomination in 1988.”
Of her previous five nominations, Stone has won twice in the Best Actress category: for the film “La La Land” in 2016 and for “Poor Things.” Only three women in Oscar history have won this category three or more times: Katharine Hepburn (four wins), Frances McDormand, and Meryl Streep (three each).
In 2026, the Best Actress category includes Emma Stone alongside Jessie Buckley (“Hamnet”), Rose Byrne (“I Am Not Iron”), Kate Hudson (“Song of Love”), and Renate Reinsve (“Sentimental Value”).
For Best Picture, “Bugonia” is competing against “Formula 1,” “Frankenstein,” “Hamnet,” “Marty Supreme: The Genius of Combinations,” “One Battle After Another,” “Secret Agent,” “Sentimental Value,” and “The Sinners.” Additionally, the film received nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay (Will Tracy) and Best Original Score (Jerskin Fendrix).
