Emma Stone thanked husband, daughter at Oscars: What to know about her family
Stone won her second career Oscar for her role in "Poor Things."
One of the top Oscars went to "Poor Things" star Emma Stone, who took home the Academy Award for best actress in a leading role for her performance as Bella Baxter in the comedy and sci-fi film.
After winning her second career Oscar on Sunday, Stone thanked her family, including her parents, younger brother Spencer Stone, husband Dave McCary and last but not least, her daughter.
"I know I have to wrap up but I really just want to thank my family – my mom, my brother Spencer, my dad, my husband Dave, I love you so much," Stone said. "And most importantly, my daughter, who's going to be 3 in three days and has turned our lives technicolor."
"I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl," Stone added, referencing the title of Taylor Swift's song "Bigger Than the Whole Sky" from her "Midnights (3am Edition)" album.
Stone told "Good Morning America's" Lara Spencer backstage at the Oscars that her daughter Louise was just five months old when she started shooting "Poor Things" with the Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos.

Dave McCary
Stone and Dave McCary, who tend to be private about their relationship, got engaged at the end of 2019. At the time, McCary shared their engagement news in an Instagram post but has since taken down his personal Instagram account.
The couple met in 2016 when Stone was a guest host on "Saturday Night Live" and McCary was a director for the late-night show.
Stone and McCary married in 2020 and that same year, the actress and director started a joint production company called Fruit Tree and signed a first-look deal with A24, according to Deadline.
The couple attended the 96th Academy Awards together and also joined fellow star couples at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party Sunday.
Louise Jean
Stone had opened up previously in 2018 about wanting kids, telling fellow actress Jennifer Lawrence in an Elle interview that her perspective about children had changed over the years.
"As a teenager, I was like, I'm never getting married, I'm never having kids. And then I got older and I was like, I really want to get married, I really want to have kids," Stone said at the time.
After they married, Stone and McCary welcomed their first child, a daughter named Louise Jean in March 2021. Louise will turn 3 on Wednesday.
