I prefer Steinfield and Stewart (tie) to the rest. I left off Olson and Mara, as I ran outta options. You can write it your vote.

Olsen might be the best. Steward is kinda wooden.

in those twilight films? or seem dead in the Huntsmen, when she's suppose to be the heroin, or erase all of Joan Jett's swag in Runaways?

she was good in Panic Room and Welcome to the Rileys.

And I've heard nothing but tremendous things about Clouds of Sils Maria.

Can't blame her for being shitty in poorly written studio fare, imo.

Yeah she gets alot of hate for Twilight but shes actually a really good actress when given a chance. Loved adventureland, she was one of the reasons. She was really good in Camp X-Ray as well.

Good shit from her, i'm not going to defend Twilight nor give her a pass for it. It was turrible

It's a role that requires passive moping for four films. The character isn't without agency, without narrative, and without... well, character. Her main characteristic is being mopey.

That's why I give her a pass. And Pattinson for that matter. I've seen them be terrific in other films. It's not their fault that the material absolutely dampened all charisma.

If there's one thing Stewart can do in her sleep, it's brooding.

Besides, wasn't she too old already by that point? Or looked too old, anyway?

>If there's one thing Stewart can do in her sleep, it's
>brooding.

That's the main problem I have w/ her...she's stuck in sleepwalk mode

She didn't do anything in Adventureland I haven't seen from her before & Margarita Levieva stole that flick w/ probably 1/2 the screen time

>Besides, wasn't she too old already by that point? Or looked
>too old, anyway?

Probably, but Scar's early work is very reminiscent imo

> & Margarita Levieva stole that flick w/ probably
>1/2 the screen time

Which, I don't blame you for listening. Stewart brings soul to that role, though.

That movie showcased how good Ryan Reynolds could be too. I want him to live up to what he could be, but he seems farther gone, since he doesn't have fuck you Twilight money to coast off of for the rest of his life. She can work with indie directors in small productions for the rest of her life, just like Pattinson.

Twas a good role...don't recall her doing much to elevate it

Twas a good role for him too & his acting was fine but didn't give me the feeling he's got a lot more potential than what he's shown so far. Might've felt different had he given a Tom Hardy like Locke performance in Buried but that needed snakes to keep me awake.

if Nicole Beharie is under 30 add her as 5, if not Stone.

That little girl can act her ass off. Shes been really really good in every role ive seen her in, even shitty movies.

Jennifer Lawrence killed it in Winter's Bone but i havent been impressed since....she just plays Jennifer Lawrence as whatever character now, i dont get the hype...she needs to pick more challenging roles and stop fucking with David O Russel...i couldnt understand when people were picking her for the Oscar that year over Lupita

^^^These are my exact feelings. I thought she did a tremendous job in Winter's Bone. Everything else has been just, meh.

but other than that and Winter's Bone, meh. And she's awful in the X-Men movies.

decent movie

John Hawkes was the best part of to me

the love for Olsen in that movie was a bit over-hyped for me

Her performance in Short Term 12 I put right alongside Lawrence in Winter's Bone and Olsen in Martha Marcy May Marlene. She has better comedy chops than anyone listed not named Stone, AND the dramatic chops to compete with the rest. That versatility makes me a huge believer in her.

.

*onscreen. I saw her on the street. She's hot.

in the right light she is the gorgeous woman in the room

I might still go with Dakota Fanning. She doesn't work as much but was good in Runaways (out acted Stewart) and has some damn good child performances under her belt. Most of these only have one great performance to me anyways...


Or girl who plays Arya Stark. lol mainly cuz of her part tho

them Twilight movies alone should keep her off the list. She was horrible in Adventureland too.

WTF?!

Hanna, Atonement, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Byzantium, The Lovely Bones, How I Live Now, the upcoming Mary, Queen of Scots biopic?

Ronan more than held her own against Cate Blanchett in Hanna...how she not anywhere in this post?!

SMH

>
agreed BUT SHE MENTIONED NOW!!! lolol

LOVED Hanna

I adored her in Hannah & The Grand Budapest hotel. As did most folks who've seen her work. Looks like her profile needs to be a bit bigger.

but why she look like Blanchet's clone

The last season of GoT she was on it.

Leads: Stone, Stewart, Lawrence, Woodley, Mara, Dakota Johnson

They're the only ones combo of physical stature, looks and chops to play all the major genres and open at the B.O.

Contenders: Dakota Fanning - gotta see her as an adult. does she have the same charisma?

Supporting: Watson, Steinfeld, Moretz, Seyfried, Ronan, E. R. Wood, Breslin, Kendrick, Page

Too short or not that talented to be a lead.

I'm sure I've forgotten plenty...but those come to mind.

She can do nothing but musicals for the next decade and be good.

I also think Ronan could be a lead too. She's certainly held her own as the lead of some films as a child.

ronan i could see, but her look a bit too ethereal.

Mara will be a supporting actress.

Kendrick is a leading lady and Ronan will be whatever Cate Blanchett is.
