8. Emily Blunt
The first movie in which I saw Emily Blunt perform was The Devil Wears Prada. While the movie featured well known actresses, like Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, Blunt’s acting leveled with that of her co-stars. Playing Streep’s senior fashion assistant, Blunt gave one of the most memorable performances in the movie. I think that was her breakthrough moment, and I must say that her spotlight didn’t dim after that either.
She went on to star in other movies, most notably The Young Victoria, a movie that garnered her a few nominations, including a Golden Globe. Her transition from a fast-talking, fashion-loving assistant to a regal, soft-spoken queen was simply flawless.
Blunt shows that acting isn’t all about having a pretty face and she’s quickly become one of my favourite female performers to watch.
