About Mike Newell (2005): "I have a lot of respect for Mike. I genuinely think he's brilliant. He's so creative, he's really passionate about making this the best movie and he won't settle for anything less. I always get that impression from him. He breaks all limits, all filming schedules, just so that this shot is gonna be the best that it can be."

Emma Launches IMPACT 10X10X10 Initiative

Impact-1

Emma Watson launched the HeForShe IMPACT 10X10X10 Initiative on Friday speaking at the Davos World Economic Forum.

“The groundswell of response we have received in support for HeForShe tells us we are tapping into what the world wants: to be a part of change. Now we have to channel that energy into purposeful action. The pilot initiative provides that framework. Next we need all country leadership, as well as that of hundreds of universities and corporations to follow HeForShe’s IMPACT 10x10x10 so as to bring an end to the persisting inequalities faced by women and girls globally,” said Emma Watson, UN Women Global Goodwill Ambassador.

Emma Named Feminist Celebrity of the Year

UNwomen_EmmaWatson_GoodwillAmbassador_2

Emma Watson was voted the top feminist of the year in a poll by Ms. Foundation for Women and Cosmopolitan for her work towards gender equality with the He for She program as UN Women Goodwill Ambassador.

“We celebrate all feminists every day, but today we’re giving a hat tip to celebrities who are helping to promote women’s equality. Every celebrity on the list has either embraced the term ‘feminist,’ spoken out for women’s equal rights, or battled against sexist oppression.” – Teresa Younger, Ms. Foundation President and CEO

The top 10 feminists, in order, are Emma Watson, Laverne Cox, Rachel Maddow, Beyoncé, Cher, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, Meryl Streep, Mindy Kaling and Ann Curry.

100th Calendar Competition

This will be our 100th calendar competition at Emma-Watson.net. In the early days, our monthly calendar was created by site staff.

I want to thank the many dedicated fans who have sent in hundreds of entries over the years, and I want to thank the dedicated fans who take the time to vote.
