We’ll take Emma Stone’s hopes and dreams for $500.

The “Curse” star told “Variety” in an interview published Thursday that she applies annually to appear on “Jeopardy,” but she doesn’t want to use her fame to snag a spot on the “celebrity” version of the show.

“I don’t want to go on ‘Celebrity Jeopardy.’ I want to earn my stripes,” she told Variety, explaining that a person can only “take the test” to apply once a year.

She’s confident about her chances at the podium.

“I watch it every single night and I mark down how many answers I get right,” she said. “I swear, I could go on ‘Jeopardy.’”

Emma Stone applies every year for "Jeopardy," and she won't settle for the celebrity-only version of the classic game show.

While the actor hasn’t gotten the chance to show off her buzzer skills yet, she’s certainly doing well in other competitive arenas. Last week she nabbed a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for her leading role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things.” The film itself won the Globe for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and her performance has her earmarked as an Oscar favorite.

At the Globes, she also earned a nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Drama for the Showtime series “The Curse,” though the award went to Sarah Snook for HBO’s “Succession.”
