Emma Stone has denied that she called Jimmy Kimmel a “prick” after he made a joke as the Oscars host about her film Poor Things.In a clip that went viral, Stone appeared to mouth the word to her husband after Kimmel poked fun at the movie.“Those were all the parts of Poor Things that we’re allowed to show on TV,” Kimmel quipped after the film’s Best Picture nominee montage aired.But now, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Stone has flatly denied that she was annoyed by the gag, also saying that she did not call the host a prick.“Did he upset me?
