Emma Stone won her second Best Actress Oscar for her performance as Bella Baxter

Poor Things is available to stream at home after Emma Stone wins the Academy Award for Best Actress. The 35-year-old earned the coveted award at the 96th Oscars on Sunday (March 10) for her performance as a dead woman brought back to life in Yorgos Lanthimos’ freakishly brilliant comedy-drama.

Cinephiles can watch Poor Things exclusively on Disney+ while bagging the streamer’s £1.99 a month deal. The House of Mouse has launched its ‘Epic Movies, Epic Offer’ promotion, which lets new and returning members lock in the £1.99 a month rate for three months – but you’ll have to act fast as the deal ends on Thursday, March 14, after which it will return to the usual £4.99.

Based on Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel of the same name, Poor Things explores the bizarre and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn though hungry for the worldliness she is lacking until she runs off with slick and debauched lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo) on a whirlwind adventure across the continents.

The film has swept awards season, having already earned two Golden Globes and five BAFTAs, and now four Oscars. Stone picked up the Best Actress Oscar – her second after her performance alongside Ryan Gosling in 2016’s La La Land – seeing off Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone.

Poor Things also won the Oscars for Best Production Design, Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Mark Ruffalo earned a nod for Best Supporting Actor but was ultimately beaten by Oppenheimer’s Robert Downey Jr.
