Emma Stone‘s one of the best actors of her generation … though some people online think The Independent may have rated her way too high.
Here’s the deal … the UK-based outlet dropped a list of the 60 greatest actors — and, they put the two-time Academy Award winner in second place.
Of course, this means Emma beat out a lot of people’s favorite actors and actresses — including Daniel Day-Lewis (#3), Denzel Washington (#4) and Nicole Kidman (#5).
Obviously, one star just eeked out the top spot over Emma — the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman who died of a drug overdose in 2014.
As you can imagine … some people online didn’t react well to Emma taking the top spot over some of the other A-Listers on her — posting memes claiming she didn’t deserve her ranking. Denzel’s fans are especially pissed BTW … and, they’re coming after the Independent on X.
Of course, a whole lot of people say Emma doesn’t really have to care about anyone’s opinion on her acting … ’cause she’s got the hardware — including two Academy Awards — to prove she doesn’t need anyone’s approval.
Anyhoo … it’s a bit of a firestorm online — and, there’s only one way to solve debates like this. Vote below!
