The winner of the 2024 Golden Globes for best actress in a comedy or musical motion picture is announced.
The Color Purple’s Fantasia Barrino, No Hard Feelings’ Jennifer Lawrence, May December’s Natalie Portman, Fallen Leaves’ Alma Pöysti, Barbie’s Margot Robbie, and Poor Things’ Emma Stone were among the contenders. Stone, 35, ended up taking home the award.
Stone received thunderous applause from friend Taylor Swift and fellow nominee Lawrence, 33, as she approached the stage.

The actress gushed about her husband, Dave McCary, at the start of her speech. The couple tied the knot in 2020.
“Wow, this is fantastic. Thank you.”
“The cast of the movie is amazing. This is our third collaboration, Tony [McNamara]. Our writer, Tony,” she added. “I enjoy delivering this dialogue and terrifying you with my thick Australian accent. Tony, you’re the greatest.
“Yorgos, I don’t know what I could say to you that I haven’t said to you already,” Stone remarked of director Yorgos Lanthimos. But I’ll always be happy that we crossed paths. Indefinitely. And it was amazing to play Bella.”
“This seems like a romantic comedy. I see this as a romantic comedy, but in the sense that Bella accepts both the good and the bad in equal measure and falls in love with life itself instead of a person. And I was truly prompted to look at

Stone is the star and producer of The Curse, a psychedelic television series, as well as Poor Things. She received her seventh and eighth acting nominations at the Globes for both in the same year. She previously won the statuette for La La Land in 2018 and went on to win an Oscar for the film.
For the award, Stone faced competition from a number of equally gifted actresses, such as Barrino from The Color Purple.
A winner of both American Idol season 3 and a Grammy Award, Barrino, 39, has more music accolades than acting ones. Her performance as the downtrodden Celie in The Color Purple, the newest rendition of Alice Walker’s beloved novel, is changing that.
Reprising her performance in the 2005 Broadway musical, Barrino sings her heart out in the movie musical, which is executive produced by Oprah Winfrey and costars Taraji P. Henson, Colman Domingo and fellow Golden Globe nominee Danielle Brooks.
No stranger to Golden Globe voters, Lawrence, 33, now has six nominations to her name, including three victories — in just four years — for Silver Linings Playbook in 2013, American Hustle in 2014 and Joy in 2016.
Her recognition for No Hard Feelings, directed and co-written by Gene Stupnitsky, proves she’s a queen of the Globes’ comedy or musical movie categories. Opposite Andrew Barth Feldman, the Oscar winner plays a Montauk, New York local who answers an ad to date a shy high school grad.
