Emma Stone’s Breakout Role Sees Streaming Resurgence 15 Years Later As She Gears Up For Oscars Race

One of Emma Stone‘s early major roles, in the movie Easy A, is seeing a resurgence on streaming ahead of the 2026 awards season. The La La Land, Poor Things, and Bugonia star is now an Academy darling, but she was once best known for teen comedies such as this, which launched her into Hollywood and allowed her to start working to become a certified A-lister.

Stone broke out with 2007’s Superbad, quickly followed by two more movies essential to her career, 2009’s Zombieland and 2010’s Easy A. The latter is a modern take on The Scarlett Letter, following a high school student who lies about losing her virginity, accidentally starting wildfire gossip about herself.
