Stone said, "Playing Bella was one of the greatest joys of my life. I got to unlearn a lot of things in playing her. Unlearn parts of shame and societal stuff that gets put on us, and I'm still working on it. This is the Critics Choice Awards — and it is about outside opinion — but I'm very grateful to the critics for this. But I'm just learning not to care what you think

Stone's win at the Critics Choice Awards follows closely behind her 2024 Golden Globe win for Best Picture Actress in a Comedy or Musical.
