Our poll for
BEST COMEDY ACTRESS and lovely
Amy Adams is the winner with 36% of your votes. She left behind her
Sandra Bullock (13%),
Melissa McCarthy and
Anne Hathaway (12% each) and
Reese Witherspoon and
Jennifer Aniston with 4%.
She is definitely one of the most beloved actresses in Hollywood, taking the throne from
Sandra Bullock and
Reese Witherspoon. It really didn't take her long to seduce the audience around the world. It must be her warmth and appealing appearance which brings her the love of cinemagoers. We probably first noticed her in
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN and THE WEDDING DATE, before she took the role in the, now almost classic, romcom
ENCHANTED which basically brought her worldwide fame. In a wise step, instead of continuing in the light tone, she took the role in
DOUBT after that,
showing her profound dramatic skills next to
Meryl Streep, which brought her one of her three Oscar nominations.
After proving her serious acting skills, Amy took a number of delightful roles in comedies and romcoms such as
JULIE AND JULIA, again next to brilliant
Meryl Streep, NIGHT AT THE MUSEM, as Amelia Earhart, and in lovely romantic flick
LEAP YEAR in which she positively shined next to
Matthew Goode. She then went for another Oscar nomination in
THE FIGHTER with
Christian Bale, and later this month you will watch her sing and dance in
THE MUPPETS. In 2013 she will be Lois Lane next to
Henry Cavill in eagerly awaited
MAN OF STEEL and a wife of a sect leader in
THE MASTER.
It's interesting that she was raised in a Mormon family, that she's a trained dancer, that her best friend is British star
Emily Blunt, and that MAN OF STEEL isn't her first Superman project since she appeared in SMALLVILLE too!
