The Bunnies at the Oscars, 17 of them

 

The first time Emma Stone shared the screen with a bunny, it was a decade ago, in 2008's The House Bunny, but, rather than an actual rabbit, the bunny in question was Anna Faris, playing Shelley, a dejected Playboy model, kicked out of Hef's mansion by some scheming fellow bunnies and forced to create a new warren of friends at a down-on-its-luck sorority house.

 

In Stone's new movie, The Favourite, there are actual rabbitsโ€”17 of them, to be precise, representing each of Queen Anne's (Olivia Colman) lost children, some "born as blood," the queen says, while others were stillborn or died in early childhood. โ€ฆ

 

A bunny's power, then, lies in the fact that it has no inherent power other than its ability to remind humans of both the casual beauty and cruelty of the world. And, since bunnies are known for their ability to have offspring, it seems particularly perverse that a woman who can't have children would keep the animal kingdom's most prolific member as a reminder of her inability to procreate. But, bunnies are also known to eat their young. They are, then, the perfect animals to project upon; they share the same "cute ears and wide eyes" of Stone's steadily social-climbing servant, but it is impossible to know precisely what machinations are transpiring behind those innocent, adorable faces.
