Exciting news for film enthusiasts as the highly anticipated best picture nominee 'Poor Things' is set to premiere on Hulu just in time for the Academy Awards. Directed by the acclaimed Yorgos Lanthimos and featuring a stellar cast including Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Dafoe, the film is scheduled to debut on March 7.

'Poor Things' has garnered an impressive 11 Oscar nominations, with recognitions in categories such as best picture, lead actress, and director. The movie follows the captivating story of Bella Baxter, portrayed by Emma Stone, who is brought back to life by the ingenious scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter, played by Willem Dafoe.

As Bella embarks on a journey of self-discovery under Dr. Baxter's guidance, she sets off on an adventure with the charismatic lawyer Duncan Wedderburn, portrayed by Mark Ruffalo. The narrative explores themes of equality and liberation, showcasing Bella's unwavering determination to challenge societal norms.

Mark Ruffalo's performance in the film has earned him a nomination for best supporting actor, while writer Tony McNamara is recognized for his outstanding adapted screenplay. Additionally, 'Poor Things' is in the running for accolades in categories such as original score, production design, cinematography, makeup and hairstyling, costume design, and film editing.

Emma Stone's portrayal of Bella has positioned her as a frontrunner for the best lead actress award, although competition from 'Killers of the Flower Moon' star Lily Gladstone is expected to be fierce. The upcoming Academy Awards ceremony on March 10 promises to be a thrilling event, with 'Poor Things' already having secured the Golden Globe for best motion picture – musical or comedy earlier this year.

With its captivating storyline, stellar performances, and critical acclaim, 'Poor Things' is poised to make a significant impact during this awards season. Don't miss the opportunity to witness this cinematic masterpiece on Hulu and join the excitement surrounding its potential triumph at the Oscars.
