I love them both immensely, but Poor Things is a cut above the rest. She's a fascinating case because each successive nominated performance is better than the one before it, and she shows no sign of slowing down.

Poor Things is definitely more ambitious especially in the first 20 minutes with all her physical acting, but the deadpan limitations imposed by McNamara's script subverts the pathos I think the film could have but didn't quite manage in the third act and her acting left me wanting more. Found Poor Things as a whole really impressive and gorgeously designed but hard to love and lacking a beating heart. I'd rank Stone's perf under both La La Land and The Favourite.

I adore both performances but it's POO THINGS for me.

I adore both performances but it's POO THINGS for me. I hope there's not an extended cut where someone has a poo fetish because that was about the only thing missing.....  |

I know this is only about her wins but what I find interesting about her four Oscar nominations is that each of them was nominated at every precursor, showing that they were all pretty much deserved, she has no Oscar nom that could be seen as namecheck nod or some fluke.
Both wins were also near sweeps with both only missing one precursor each.

Love her in both, but Poor Things is the more creative, inspired performance. I think she was clearly the best of the nominees this year, whereas in 2016 she was maybe my second favorite of the nominees (after Huppert of course).

La La Land. It's the better film too. Though to be fair these are a pretty solid pair of wins. Much better than most two-time wins.

She’s good in La La Land, but she’s phenomenal in Poor Things.
