La La Land (2016)
Damien Chazelle's 2016 Hollywood musical. Almost won Best Picture before envelope correction.
Actor: Emma Stone
Emma Stone won Best Actress for La La Land and again for Poor Things, the latter requiring her to play a woman with an infant’s brain developing across the film’s length.
Easy A gave her an early comic lead, and Birdman and The Favourite brought supporting nominations. She has been open about anxiety and panic attacks from childhood, and produces through her own company.
