The complete omission of Rachel McAdams is pretty shocking :) Even though she sort of disappeared off the radar for a couple years, has she ever given a less than good performance ever? Most people probably haven't paid attention to her more recent indie work like Married Life and The Lucky Ones but she was absolutely fantastic. <br /><br />One has to realize that not everyone wants to be a movie star and she revels in being an actress first and foremost. If you guys associate "wanting it" with becoming a huge mainstream movie star ala Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon or Angelina Jolie then I'm glad you kept her off the list.<br /><br />Glad to see Ellen Page in there, she is starting to branch out from her usual witty chatterbox roles and I also big hopes for her!Castorhttp://www.anomalousmaterial.com/moviesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-28497512095262111062010-03-21T09:47:41.252-04:002010-03-21T09:47:41.252-04:00My List:

Just focus on Anne's talent. Keep in mind, Meryl Streep was given access to many great female roles ( and well written-movies). Today, most screenwriters & film producers are not deeply concerned about rich & complex female protagonists- it is not their priority. Definitely, my heart goes out to most young actresses because of the lack of roles with depth- and it is more competitive. <br /><br />Every actor has to do talk shows & magazine covers to promote her fillms. So, why treat Ms. Hathaway differently ? Every interview I have seen of Anne , she always come across as very humble ,gracious, smart, articulate , and incredibly funny, and sometimes a little nervous. <br /><br />P.S. I wish all the actresses on this list the best of luck.s.p.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-32101852567767711142010-03-19T06:55:03.820-04:002010-03-19T06:55:03.820-04:00maybe Michelle got scared off by playing up her go...maybe Michelle got scared off by playing up her gorgeousity (The Deception) and having the movie be so bad (not her fault but...)NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-45422498382955116052010-03-19T06:02:59.029-04:002010-03-19T06:02:59.029-04:00JA you're right.

Not that my opinion matters much to anyone but myself but I really don't like what I wrote. So - truth is - Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Anna Kendrick, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Kirsten Dunst are lovely women who have given wonderful performances and have rightfully achieved a high level of success in a very demanding business. I mean, who the hell cares what I feel about them. Brava to them all! In this environment, I'm really gonna try to remember the adage - if you don't have anything positive to say, keep your mouth shut.billybilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-47983279515930259932010-03-18T16:26:19.452-04:002010-03-18T16:26:19.452-04:00@Amanda -- I appreciate passionate debate so i tha...@Amanda -- I appreciate passionate debate so i thank you for sharing. I do however think she was much better in Brokeback Mountain and Prada than people give her credit for. Was she the weak link in each film's central quartet? Yes.

And in both cases she had the least interesting stuff to work with.<br /><br />oh and as for Anne having no weak spots.

She wants to be a movie star, and It girl, a fashion icon. She is on every single party, red carpet, fancy event, is presented on a magazine every other week, goes to every talk show.<br /><br />What I find strange is that she does that while she seems to have a "above it all" atittude, as if she is trying to sell herself as a serious, intellectual, deep actress while she cant pull a Williams or a Page and completly remove herself from the glitzy Hollywood scene. (But she did manage to pull an Aniston and cry pity and use the simpathy card to profit over her break up)<br /><br />And at the same time that she sells herself as a deep serious actress, she still wants to be a fashion icon (and she has Rachel Zoe to thank for that), a media darling, the girl next door, America's sweetheart, a box office queen...Its too much. <br /><br />And still....compare her body of work with Kate Winslet's when the latter was her age (27?). Look at how many breathtaking performances Winslet already had. Look at the directors Winslet had already worked with.<br /><br />At her age, Witherspoon already had two recent pop culture icons under her belt: Tracey Flick (the brilliant Tracey Flick) and Elle Woods. <br /><br />I dont understand why lately she has been treated as the second coming. As if she were Katherine Hepburn. Or Bette Davis. She is still not. Hasn't shown yet that she will ever be.aclphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406220796611416156noreply@blogger.com
