In 2018 , Stone and Rachel Weisz starred as Abigail Masham and Sarah Churchill , two cousins fighting for the affection of Queen Anne ( Olivia Colman ) , in Yorgos Lanthimos 's historical comedy-drama '' The Favourite '' . Stone found it challenging being an American among a British cast , and had difficulty in mastering the accent . The film premiered at the 75th Venice International Film Festival in August . Michael Nordine of IndieWire praised Stone for taking on a bold role after '' La La Land '' , and termed the three leading ladies " a majestic triumvirate in a period piece that 's as tragic as it is hilarious . " For '' The Favourite '' , Stone received her fifth Golden Globe nomination and third Oscar nomination . That September , she featured in and served as an executive producer for the Netflix dark comedy miniseries '' Maniac '' , co-starring Jonah Hill and directed by Cary Fukunaga . Stone and Hill played two strangers , Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim , whose lives are transformed due to a mysterious pharmaceutical trial . An admirer of Fukunaga 's work , Stone agreed to the project without reading the script . Lucy Mangan of '' The Guardian '' praised Stone and Hill for playing against type and for delivering career-best performances ; Judy Berman of '' Time '' was similarly impressed with their growth as actors since '' Superbad '' and took note of the complexity in their performances . In the same year , Stone appeared alongside Paul McCartney in a music video for his song " Who Cares "
