I don’t get it. She did one film, and while it was good for her, the film itself got mixed reviews. Plus she hasn’t even filmed anything this year. In fact, she did more last year than she did this year. While I am happy she is getting recognition, I’m going to have to call Shenanigans on this one.
Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Seriously, I thought Emma performed the pivotal role in what I feel was a vastly underrated film, Noah. The final scene with Crowe was moving and heartfelt. And she carried it.
More importantly- She has put herself forward as an example to the women of the world, who are increasingly oppressed within every political, regional, sectarian/tribal and religious conflict constituting an alarming trend. Congratulations!
Her role with the UN has nothing to do with being an artist, this isn’t a humanitarian award.
15 movies. Count ’em. And Regression this year.
A little education goes a long way to making you sound less ignorant. 😉
And this award has nothing to do with her work with UN Women. Maybe you read the two latest posts and mixed them together.
Congrats Emma! 🙂
Hiii emma iam a big.fan so beautiful girl I like you emma and I love you really love you emma yes
What are you dribbling at, Chris? I make 15 movies Emma’s made, and she has filmed Regression this year. Talk sense. man!
Congrats Emma!
She qualifies as both emerging and established talent. BAFTA noticed her performance in Noah and is recognizing her for it. Many it be the first of many.
