Emily Blunt’s first Oscar nomination was for the type of role the actress doesn’t normally play. Over the course of her career, the London-born actress has played badass action heroes, musical heroines, even delightfully bitchy supporting comic parts. But in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” Blunt goes into a totally different mode to play a embittered and humorless long-suffering wife type. It’s a jarring transformation; but, given her versatility, a predictably excellent one.
Born to a former actress and barrister in London, Blunt studied acting in boarding school and began her professional career at 18, when she debuted on a West End production of the play “The Royal Family.” In 2003 she transitioned to screen acting with the British miniseries “Boudica” and “Henry VIII,” before making her theatrical film debut as a haughty, arrogant rich girl in independent drama “My Summer of Love” in 2004.

There’s much more to Nighy than playing grumpy but lovable men – think Pinter, Palace and Pokémon to name just three. Get your questions in by 10am on Thursday
When it comes to grumpy but lovable men, Bill Nighy has it nailed. He plays Simon Pegg’s grumpy zombie step-dad in Shaun of the Dead with lovable charm, and washed-up grumpy rockstar Billy Mack in Love Actually, for which he won a Bafta for best supporting actor. In 2006, he won a Golden Globe for TV movie Gideon’s Daughter where he plays an, um, grumpy publicist on the verge of a nervous breakdown. In 2022, he was nominated for an Oscar for Living in which he plays an, erm, grumpy 1950s bureaucrat. He plays a grumpy vampire elder in the Underworld series and, less grumpy because he’s near immortal, Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean. He’s fairly grumpy also...

While appreciating his co-star, Downey Jr. mentioned that Blunt didn’t have many British characteristics in her because she never talked smack about others. Apart from the actors, the Oppenheimer crew, including Christopher Nolan, are also set to grab many Oscars for the film.

“The Girl on the Train,” “A Quiet Place,” “Mary Poppins Returns,” “The Devil Wears Prada,” “Sicario,” “Looper,” “The Young Victoria.” Those are just a select few of the many acclaimed performances delivered by Emily Blunt in her first two decades as a star. She has been nominated for seven Golden Globes, seven Critics’ Choice Awards, four SAG Awards and three BAFTAs. She’s won at the Globes (“Gideon’s Daughter”), Critics’ Choice (“Edge of Tomorrow”) and SAG (“A Quiet Place.”) So how has this widely beloved actress not had her time in the sun with the academy?
She has never been part of a Best Picture nominee. None of those aforementioned films of hers made the cut with the academy in the top category. This will undoubtedly change with “Oppenheimer.” Indeed this 3-hour pressure-cooker of an epic is widely predicted to win the top prize.

Just with her delivery of the phrase “Ew, David,” Annie Murphy launched herself into pop culture icon status. Her portrayal of Alexis Rose on Pop TV’s “Schitt’s Creek” rocketed Murphy to fame and helped the actress score her first ever Golden Globe nomination. Will she be the latest rising star anointed by the Hollywood Foreign Press?
See 2021 Golden Globes nominations list: Nominees for 78th annual ceremony
Murphy is nominated for Best TV Supporting Actress alongside Gillian Anderson (“The Crown”), Helena Bonham Carter (“The Crown”), Julia Garner (“Ozark”), and Cynthia Nixon (“Ratched”). Like Murphy, Garner is a first-time nominee, while Bonham Carter and Nixon both have multiple previous bids. Anderson is a past winner for “The X-Files,” which makes her the only previous Globe champ in this lineup.
Murphy created an instantly recognizable character with Alexis, channeling the vapid habits and vocal fry of many “famous-for-being-famous” reality stars that dot our TV screens.

Emily Blunt hasn’t gotten on the Oscars’ radar yet, but the Hollywood Foreign Press Association can’t get enough of her. They’ve given her six Golden Globe nominations to date. So she might be a major dark horse contender for her role in the romance “Wild Mountain Thyme.”
SEEGolden Globe TV contenders: Strong newbies include ‘The Great’ and ‘Ted Lasso,’ but will voters finally catch up with ‘Schitt’s Creek’ instead?
Blunt plays Rosemary, who is in love with a man (Jamie Dornan) in the middle of a family land dispute. It was written and directed by John Patrick Shanley, based on his own Tony-nominated play “Outside Mullingar.” This is Shanley’s third film as a director, and his first since “Doubt” (2008), which earned five Golden Globe nominations and five Oscar nominations 12 years ago.
Granted, “Wild Mountain Thyme” hasn’t gotten reviews as favorable as “Doubt,” but consider Blunt’s track record.

He has unparalleled creative freedom within the BBC. But, as Stephen Poliakoff's latest lavish drama reaches our screens, what does he make of his reputation for being a control freak?
'I'm quite sure," Stephen Poliakoff giggles, "there are people within the BBC who run down the corridors blocking their ears when they see me coming." His reputation certainly precedes him – a great galloping colossus of media folklore, variously casting the writer as a genius, control freak, force of nature or diva, sometimes all at the same time. Descriptions of his appearance err towards cartoonish caricature – dishevelled, wild-haired, fidgety, like a mad professor who has accidentally electrocuted himself – only adding to the mythology of a wild man of letters. But to everyone about to fall in love with his latest drama, Poliakoff may well soon be at real risk of becoming a national treasure.

When she was a teenager, Dame Judi Dench took her under her wing. A decade later, she's the toast of Hollywood – and married to actor John Krasinski. Life would be perfect, she says, if it hadn't made her so superstitious
Emily Blunt is describing her Ocd with a humorous wryness. "It's very weird. It's only happened in this past year. I've started getting very superstitious and fixating on things. I used to do it as a kid. I'd get these obsessive moments where I'd be in the car with my dad or something, and every time we went past a lamp-post I'd go like this…" She pauses to make six clucking noises with her tongue, flipping her head with each one to acknowledge the lamp-posts she's mentally passing. "And my dad would be like: 'What are you doing?' And I'd go, 'Sorry, I can't…" she clucks, "…stop."
She rolls her eyes and laughs drily.

I'd get these obsessive moments where I'd be in the car with my dad or something, and every time we went past a lamp-post I'd go like this…" She pauses to make six clucking noises with her tongue, flipping her head with each one to acknowledge the lamp-posts she's mentally passing. "And my dad would be like: 'What are you doing?' And I'd go, 'Sorry, I can't…" she clucks, "…stop."
She rolls her eyes and laughs drily.

The London-born actress, currently starring in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, is poised to break through into the big time this year, say industry-watchers
Just as Emily Blunt hits UK screens this week in her biggest role to date, a string of movies coming out in the United States look set to catapult her to the Kate Winslet category of stardom.
The 29-year-old, who stars in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen with Ewan McGregor, co-stars with Bruce Willis, Jason Segel and Colin Firth in three forthcoming movies, while she is negotiating to appear opposite Tom Cruise in All You Need Is Kill, a potential sci-fi blockbuster, and to play Nora Charles in a remake of The Thin Man starring Johnny Depp, according to Variety.

London -- In a shock move that has prompted speculation about the future of the Rtl-owned indie production company Talkback Thames, its chief executive Lorraine Heggessey quit Tuesday.
Talkback declined comment beyond saying that chief operating officer Sarah Geater will take over the CEO position on an interim basis, reporting to Fremantle Media chief executive Tony Cohen.
Heggessey, a highly respected former controller of BBC1 who has been chief executive of Talkback Thames for five years, had been thought of as a possible candidate to take over either Channel 4 or ITV when their CEO positions became available last year.
Although she did not surface among the final candidates, she remains highly thought of, having overseen such blockbuster shows as "The Apprentice," "The X Factor," and Britain's Got Talent," as well as dramas including "Gideon's Daughter." Last year ITV cancelled Talkback's longest-running show, the police procedural drama "The Bill."

Wolfman star Emily Blunt talks about her date with a blockbuster beast, and why she feels movies are a lot of silliness
Emily Blunt is curled up on a sofa in a West End hotel suite, wearing a cream dress peppered with black dots. It is a few weeks before her 27th birthday; she has long brown hair and blue Cleopatra eyes laced with a knowing wit. (Those eyes once prompted an ex to nickname her "Garfield".) On screen Blunt has sometimes cultivated a certain haughtiness, which she has described in the past as her "head girl demeanour", but in person she's fizzy and easily amused, without a hint of the withering cruelty displayed in The Devil Wears Prada or My Summer of Love.
Hers may be the sole face on the poster for The Wolfman, the remake of the whiskery 1941 horror favourite, but she would surely be the...

Golden Globe noms announced
Complete list of film and TV nominees
"I'm pumped!" James Cameron said before hopping a plane from New York to Los Angeles, where he hoped to celebrate with the cast and crew of best drama nominee "Avatar" at a screening Tuesday night. "It's been a 4 1/2-year journey, and this is not typically the kind of film that critics love, it being a genre movie and being seen as a big commercial movie." Cameron, also nominated for a best director Golden Globe, was pleased the movie also got some love in the music category. "I think this is James Horner's best score to date," he says. But he says he is sad his actors got short shrift. "Maybe there's a sense that acting for performance capture isn't the same as acting for a lens, which is going to take an education. I think that will eventually go away.

The 2010 Golden Globe nominations have been very kind to Sandra Bullock. The 45-year-old actress has two hit films this year and was blessed with nods for both: Best Actress in a Drama ("The Blind Side") and Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical ("The Proposal").
"I am beyond stunned," Bullock said in a statement. "Just to be included in the company of these amazing women I have so admired thru the years, has left me slack jawed with awe. It is Truly an honor just to be nominated by the Hollywood Foreign Press, and I will cherish this moment with all the artists I have worked with behind the scenes, who truly make me look good!"

'What really buys you freedom is being successful. So long as you deliver, they leave you alone'
For someone best known for Shooting the Past, a television drama apparently so slow and un-televisual that BBC executives begged him to speed it up, Stephen Poliakoff is a very fast talker. Sentences tumble into one another, thoughts jerkily digress, regroup and change their angle of attack. Ideas flit in and out of focus as all the while a plastic drinking straw is furiously twiddled between his fingers. Outlining details of his latest venture, Glorious 39, his first feature film for 12 years, Poliakoff makes glancing references to George W Bush, Bulldog Drummond, the history of the wire tap and Norfolk's evergreen oaks in expressing his fascination and horror at the aristocratic and establishment appeasers who, in the run-up to the second world war, mounted a desperate last effort to do a deal with...

The star of Stephen Poliakoff's forthcoming Glorious 39 on his neuroses, playing educated toffs and why he digs David Hare
"A machiavellian dandy . . . Pure coldheartedness . . . Fabulously insincere." As I read out reviews of an old Bill Nighy performance, the actor grimaces and drums his knuckles on the table. "If ever a face was made for villainy, it's Bill Nighy's," I continue. "Wow," he murmurs. "Nighy's decadently long jaw and narrow, sneaky eyes serve him well . . ." He snorts, amused. "Sneaky eyes! Long decadent jaw! My God. I didn't know I had a decadent jaw."
Perhaps it is how Glorious 39 unfolds around him that makes you never quite trust Nighy as Alexander Keyes, a devoted father and aristocratic Conservative MP in Stephen Poliakoff's sumptuous new thriller about appeasement, set on the eve of the second world war. But perhaps Nighy has a singular talent for projecting unreliability into charming characters.

So how was Blunt's acting as the young Victoria? Is the movie Oscar-worthy? Is her performance Oscar-worthy? Says Empire:

The Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. ushered in the new on the comedy side and stuck with the old in the drama field, bestowing top TV honors to ABC's blockbuster drama hit "Grey's Anatomy" and hot freshman comedy "Ugly Betty."

ABC's leading three trophies were matched by HBO, whose Emmy-winning period drama "Elizabeth I" was the most-heralded TV program with three Golden Globes -- for best miniseries or TV movie, star Helen Mirren and supporting actor Jeremy Irons.
