Now that the nominations for the 87th Academy Awards have been announced, it’s time for an annual tradition here at The Back Row: “Before They Were Stars” clips for this year’s nominees! Emma Stone has garnered her first career Oscar nomination for her role in Birdman and in a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon-esque twist, one of her very first roles involved interacting with one of her fellow nominees when she guest-starred alongside Patricia Arquette in this 2005 episode of Medium. It’s also worth noting that Emma is credited as “Riley Stone” in this episode, which took place during a very brief period she was attempting to use that as her stage name.
