The star was named best actress for the surreal comedy Poor Things, about a woman who is given the brain of a baby.

Based on the 1992 novel by Scottish author Alasdair Gray, the picture was directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.

Gray was born in the city's Riddrie on December 28, 1934, and studied at the Glasgow School of Art in 1952.

His murals then went on to appear in many Glasgow public spaces over the coming years.

The Oscar is Stone's second for Best Actress, having already won for her performance in La La Land.

As she took to the stage to accept her award, she revealed she was battling a wardrobe malfunction and blamed Ryan Gosling’s rousing performance of the Barbie song I’m Just Ken.

She said: “My dress is broken, I think it happened during I’m Just Ken.”

She appeared visibly overwhelmed and wept as she said: “I don’t know what I’m saying.”

She added: “The other night I was panicking, as you can see it happens a lot, that something like this could happen.”

After thanking her family, she saved her final thanks for “my daughter, who is going to be three in three days and who turned our whole lives technicolour”.

She added: “I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl.”

Before exiting the stage, she said: “Don’t look at the back of my dress.”
