Rami Malek and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Win Big at Globes, and No One Will Mention or Thank Bryan Singer
“Aloha” has long been one of Hollywood’s most egregious examples of whitewashing after casting Stone as Air Force pilot Allison Ng, a character who is meant to be of one quarter Chinese and one quarter Hawaiian descent. Stone didn’t take long to apologize, reacting to the whitewashing backlash in 2015 by saying she was sorry and that the casting controversy forced her to “learn on a macro level about the insane history of whitewashing in Hollywood and how prevalent the problem truly is.”
“There’s a lot of conversation about how we want to see people represented on screen and what we need to change as a business to reflect culture in a clearer way and not in an idealized way,” Stone told the press. “There are some flaws in the system. My eyes have been opened in many ways this year.”
Stone’s reactionary yell was the second to occur during Samberg and Oh’s monologue. While joking about Lady Gaga’s “100 people in the room” quote from her “A Star Is Born” press tour, the musician and actress was seen holding on to co-star and director Bradley Cooper and humorously shouting, “It’s true!”
Stone was nominated at the Golden Globes this year for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her performance in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Favourite.” Stone has picked up similar nominations from the SAG Awards and the Critics’ Choice Awards. “The Favourite” is now playing in theaters.
