Who is … the lead actress in ‘Poor Things’?
Emma Stone is a really big “Jeopardy!” fan. So much so, that the Oscar winner applies to the game show every single year.
“I apply every June,” she said during Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast on Thursday. “I don’t want to go on ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ I want to earn my stripes.”
She continued, “You can only take the test once a year with your email address, and I’ve never gotten on the show.”
If she by chance ever gets the call to join, she will be well prepared.
“I watch it every single night, and I mark down how many answers I get right,” the 35-year-old exclaimed. “I swear, I could go on ‘Jeopardy!’”
Before Stone sits down to watch the show every night, she’s been staying busy by promoting her new film, “Poor Things.” The actress picked up the Golden Globes for her work in the best film actress category on Sunday.

“The [film’s] crew [is] incredible. Tony [McNamara], this is our third time working together. Tony, our writer. I love getting to say this dialogue, and I love getting to horrify you with my Australian accent. You’re the best, Tony.”
“Poor Things” has next has earned 13 nominations at the Critics’ Choice Awards, which air in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday, Jan. 14.
