Could Emma Stone be on the way to winning her third Oscar? The actress has been getting plenty of buzz for her latest film, Bugonia, in which she stars as a powerful CEO (who is believed to be a secret alien). The performance has already earned her nominations for a Golden Globe, an Actor Award, and an Academy Award. The film is also nominated for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Original Score at the Oscars.
Bugonia, which premiered during the 2025 Venice Film Festival and then opened in theaters in October, marks Stone’s fourth collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos, who previously directed her in Poor Things (which earned Stone her second Oscar), The Favourite, and Kinds of Kindness.
True to Lanthimos’s unconventional style, the film is bold, strange, and surreal, following two conspiracy theorists who kidnap Michelle (Stone), believing she’s an alien involved with planning the apocalypse simply disguised as a Fortune 500 CEO. (The story is based on the 2003 Korean film, Save the Green Planet!). Stone spoke to Wonderland about her ongoing collaboration with the filmmaker.
“I love him as a director but I also think that the material that he’s drawn to, whether he writes it with a theme, or if it’s written by Tony [McNamara] or Will Tracy here, I find his worlds to be really fascinating,” she said. “The characters are incredible. And the crew, he always has the most incredible people, and most of them come back again and again.”
Here’s how to watch Bugonia ahead of the Oscars on March 15.
Bugonia began streaming exclusively on Peacock on December 26. It’s also available to rent and purchase digitally on platforms like Apple TV and Prime Video.
If you want a deeper dive, you can also watch the 2003 sci-fi film that inspired Bugonia, Save the Green Planet!
