Poor Things directed by Yorgos Lanthimos has today won a Golden Globe award for ‘Best picture — Musical/Comedy.’

The film beat others for the gong, including Barbie and May December.

Stone beat a number of other accomplished actresses for the gong, including Margot Robbie for Barbie and Jennifer Lawrence for No Hard Feelings.

Poor Things was also nominated in the category of ‘Best Screenplay- Motion Picture’ and ‘Best Original Score.’

Lanthimos was nominated for ‘Best Director – Motion Picture,’ while Stone was nominated for ‘Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical/Comedy,’ and Mark Ruffalo and Willem Dafoe were nominated for ‘Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.’
