A lot has changed for Emma Stone and Jonah Hill since they starred together in “Superbad” way back in 2007, with both actors going on to work in high-profile, award-winning films. Hill has now landed two Oscar nominations (for “Moneyball” and “The Wolf of Wall Street“), while Stone scored an Academy Award nod of her own for 2014’s Best Picture winner “Birdman,” and is on track to win the Best Actress trophy for “La La Land” at the Oscars next month. But the two will always have their shared “Superbad” past, and the old pals got to celebrate their longtime connection this weekend at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
