1. My Top 10 Actresses
Wow what a surprise that after my little thing about 10 favourite
actors I've decided to do 10 favourite actresses - what a surprise!!
Actually i have been surprised looking for actresses to fit into this
category at how little films still feature a male protagonist, isn't the
film world sexist. Anyway here we go

2. 10. Amanda Seyfried
I'll be the first to admit that not all of her films are
great, just look at my review of Red Riding Hood which
was a shame as it was one of her first leading roles. I
think you just need to watch her first film role in my
ultimate guilty pleasure, Mean Girls, to fall in love with
her harmless and adorable character. In fact the
reason i think Seyfried is her roles i guilty pleasure
films with her breakthrough into lead roles coming as
one of the main characters in Mamma Mia, yeah i like
Mamma Mia get over it!! I've also been to where to
was shot if anyone's interested beautiful island, really
worth a visit, hang on I'm babbling again, i really
should get back to what i was saying. Anyway since
then she's mainly been a rom com girl but showed her
relative versatility in Jennifer's Body.

3. 9. Rachel McAdams
This list is starting to look like a homage to Mean Girls
but I promise this is the last one. McAdams was the
ultimate Mean Girl in the film and like Seyfried was
just finding her feet in the industry when the teen flick
was released. McAdams was soon achieving leading
lady status in The Notebook (which I haven't actually
seen) and 'horror' film Red Eye. She hasn't exactly
been prolific in making films and The Time Travellers
Wife looks atrocious but McAdams made up for a film
like that by starring in the reboot of Sherlock Holmes
where she managed to stand out despite limited
screen time and her reappearance in the sequel was
much welcomed but disappointed at her sudden exit
from the film. Also did you know she's dating Michael
Sheen?

4. 8. Heather Morris
There is a theme of American actresses who appear in
High School comedies emerging, but it seems that is
one of the best ways to get attention in America. Now
i think Morris, who if you didn't know is Brittany in
Glee (i have mentioned I'm a little bit addicted
before), is brilliant but the problem is she hasn't done
much to prove her acting skill yet probably because
she never wanted to be an actor. Originally a dancer,
back up for Beyoncé no less, she grabbed a back up
role on Glee and has since probed herself as comic
genius with her one liners and there's no doubting she
can perform, just watch the Brittney/Brittany episode
and you'll see what a i mean. Hopefully Morris can
soon prove she can act either on Glee or in her post
Glee career.

5. 7. Emma Watson
Another member of the list who has only really has
one major role, although that role is rather major with
8 big bucks film roles over 10 years. Watson has ended
coming up leaving the Harry Potter franchise, yes she
was Hermione, as the serious breakout star of the
series. You never know how a child actor will turn out
and although her two co-stars proved to be capable
actors it's clear watching the later films that it is
Watson who holds most of talent in the trio. She
seems perfectly suited to the role that dominated her
childhood and will probably haunt her future as she
tries to breakaway from been knowing as that girl out
of Harry Potter. Hopefully Watson has enough talent
to do that and if not I'm sure she has enough money
to live on by now.

6. 6. Amy Adams
Like her Muppets co-star Jason Segal, Amy Adams is
one of Hollywood's most likable figures. Her films
don't exactly scream greatness, although she
deserved all the praise and nominations she received
for The Fighter, but like Adams herself there's
something about them you can't stop falling in love
with. She really made her name with a leading role in
one of Disney's recent hits Enchanted, in fact it would
seem Adams could be Disney's perfect poster girl. She
was one of the highlights of the playful Night at the
Museum 2 and was one of the only good things about
Leap Year. She seems the perfect female lead for The
Muppets (expect for Miss Piggy of course) and i hope
she will be able to build on the success she will surely
get for Man of Steel.

7. 5. Tamsin Egerton
Most of this list is American so I'm glad that Egerton
means I've added at least one more British name to it.
She'd nowhere near a household name but it's always
nice to be a fan of someone who isn't on the big stage
yet. Egerton is really representing the 4 leads of
British flick 4.3.2.1 here which is superb cast lead film.
Other then that she's not really done too much as a
leading lady. She had a minor role in Driving Lesson's
and was very much support in the St Trinions films.
2011 was a reasonably good year for her appearing in
American TV's Camelot, although she was one of the
only positives in the cancelled show. She also
appeared in one of her best roles in Chalet Girl fitting
perfectly into her usual spoilt brat role. Still likable
though…

8. 4. Emma Stone
As appose to the previous entry Emma Stone is pretty
much near the top of the acting world at the moment.
I can never remember not enjoying a Stone film and
they seem to keep getting better. She was underused
in Superbad and then became one of the best things
about The House Bunny. But the real moment i realised
that she was really going to go right to the top was
when she appeared in the brilliant Zomebieland, one
of the best casting in a film since Lord of the Rings.
She then took a major lead in Easy A a performance
that earned Stone much deserved critical recognition.
2011 was a huge role for Stone but i have yet to see
any of her 3 releases but need to see all 3. This girls
going to be big, well probably even bigger then she is
now!

9. 3. Mila Kunis
What is it with Jason Segal and picking great actresses
to appear opposite him? I talk of course about her role
in Forgetting Sarah Marshall a performance that surely
would win over any viewer. Ever since Kunis has been
slowly rising up through the film world. She's one of
the most recognisable voices in America after her
long running role on Family Guy, that i don't actually
watch just thought most people seem too ... Her role
in The Book of Eli has the potential to make her a star
but the film was a disappointment but then after a
great cameo appearance in Date Night, Kunis soon
made her way into the spotlight with her supporting
role in Black Swan which threatened to steal the
spotlight away from Oscar winner Natalie Portman
(who almost made it to this list) and made Kunis a
household name. Surely there's more too come.

10. 2. Naya Rivera
Now Glee ain't exactly the sort of programme where
you'd find great acting talent but in Miss Rivera they
have discovered a huge talent. Like Heather Morris,
Naya was originally hired to be a back up character on
the show and also like Morris has been risen to
become one of the stars of the show. She has had an
history on American TV as a child actor appearing on
shows like Baywatch and The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
After she finally got to speak on the show her Glee
character Santana seemed to be a fairly two-
dimensional bitch but after gaining main cast status in
season 2 and finally getting some proper storylines,
season 3 has made proved to be her year, becoming
the star, with a superb and touching performance
with a coming out story. Hopefully she can turn her
success to the big screen next, and as mentioned
before it will be a crime if she doesn't bag the role of
Johanna in Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire.

11. 1. Jennifer Lawrence
Speaking of The Hunger Games I don't think it'll be a
surprise to anyone who's been here before to know
that Jennifer Lawrence is my favourite actress. She's
not been around long but with her first starring role in
Winter's Bone she managed to make herself the 2nd
youngest Best Actress nominee in Oscar history, yeah
the girls talented. There's no doubting the
performance is incredible and made her the perfect
choice for Katniss in the fore mentioned Games. You
could of forgiven her for staying in the indie game,
especially after a great performance in The Beaver. But
she has ended up in main stream Hollywood and her
first major blockbuster role managed to bring a whole
new side to the character of Mystique in prequel X-
Men First Class. Bring on The Hunger Games and
everything else this girl can do.
