But there can only be one winner, and the actors who remain in the nominations make up for their loss with their simply heartwarming reactions.

However, even though she lost, fans couldn’t help but appreciate her all the more, just because of the reaction she gave to Gladstone’s win.
In the clip shared by@THR on X, as soon asJessica Chastainannounced the winner, while Lily Gladstone sat there star-struck with tears appearing in her eyes, it was Emma Stone who jumped in her seat and celebrated Gladstone’s win most ecstatically. Probably clapping the loudest in the entire hall, Stone had the proudest expression on her face as though she herself had won.
