Emma Stone as Bella Baxter in Poor Things (2023)

Besides being her own mother because of wacky experimental brain transplant, one of the many things that makes Bella Baxter such an unique female character in cinema is that she gives zero f—s about what men want from her.

When a man tells Bella Baxter what she can or can’t do, she laughs in their face and does it anyway. In fact, the brilliant thing about Bella is that, since she wasn’t socialized with gender norms, it doesn’t even occur to her that a man would have the ability to control her.

The role of Bella Baxter won Emma Stone her second Oscar for best actress at the 2024 Academy Awards.
