Superbad reunion! Emma Stone and Jonah Hill back together at SAG Awards 2017
EMMA STONE got her big break in Superbad ten years ago, and last night she reunited with that film’s lead star Jonah Hill as she collected a major SAG Award.
Emma Stone and Jonah Hill reunite at the SAG Awards 2017
The now 28-year-old actress won Best Female Actor for her acclaimed role in La La Land, and the trophy was presented by none other than Hill.
The pair looked thrilled to be back in each-other’s company, after playing love interests in the 2007 smash hit.
After winning the SAG and the Golden Globe, Stone is now a very strong contender for the equivalent Oscar trophy, although she’ll have tough competition from Isabelle Huppert.
She said as she collected her prize: “To get to be a part, even a tiny part, of a group that cares about reflecting society and bringing people joy and making them laugh…”
Emma and Jonah are clearly dear old friends

We’re in a very tricky time in the world and our country, and things are very inexcusable and scary and need action
Struggling for words, she added: “And… and… giving people hope, maybe, or… God, I know I have to wrap up, I feel like I’m going to faint…”
“Just, we’re in a very tricky time in the world and our country, and things are very inexcusable and scary and need action, and I’m so grateful to be part of a group of people that cares and wants to reflect things back to society. So thank you.”
She was loudly applauded by the audience as she then made her exit, with Hill’s arm around her.
References to Donald Trump’s immigration and refugee ban ran prominently throughout the night.
Superbad was released a whole decade ago

Collecting an award for Best Male Supporting Actor, Mahershala Ali had said: “My mother is an ordained minister. I am a Muslim.
“She didn’t do backflips when I called her and told her I converted 17 years ago. But we put things to the side and I was able to see her. She is able to see me.
“We love each other. The love has grown, and that stuff’s minutia. It’s not that important.”
