ladies of Hollywood that lacked the
attention they deserve
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
underrated actresses captain they’re
gonna want to know why we’re here
and they’re gonna torture us questioned
us and they’re gonna kill us for this
list we’re looking at those actresses
who we also refer to as oh yeah that
girl minion girls would kill for this
job these are the female thespians we
easily recognize from their time
on-screen but who don’t seem to get
enough love in terms of recognition and
award nominations or wins their acting
chops are definitely up to par but we
want to see them step out from the
shadows and directly into the limelight
look girl she’s so creepy
number 10 carrie anne moss tank motifs
the most prominent role of her career
thus far has been Trinity in the Matrix
trilogy but this captivating Canadian
star has done much more than high-rise
following the first matrix she starred
opposite Guy Pearce and Christopher
Nolan’s first major release memento when
you find this guy this John J what are
you gonna do
she has since starred in supporting
roles and well-received successes like
Chocolat I will decide what it’s good
for my son Mariska and Disturbia down I
care she packs quite a punch with each
performance so let’s hope it’s only a
matter of time before we see her return
to the forefront and memorable lead
I’ll still be best friends
maybe young lovers number-9 hope davis i
wasn’t sure you would remember
introduced to film audiences in 1990
hope davis has come to be better known
for her roles in television we will
start with some personal information
just to verify is that okay
having garnered Emmy nominations for her
performances in the special relationship
do I look incredible and in treatment we
are wondering why Hollywood has yet to
pick up this lovely and obscure talent
for more silver screen roles I go out
and I get drunk with my gay secretary
and then I stumble home to my
one-bedroom condo and pray that I can
fall asleep but with other acting Award
nominations under her belt including a
Tony and two Golden Globes we’re
confident that this underrated New
Jersey native will soon be adding an
Oscar to that awards list could you get
me some water in a few aspirin are you
gonna headache no but I want to avoid
one number eight Rachel McAdams I’m tell
me you’re coming home I would have been
here waiting having played multiple
romantic leads this Canadian beauty is
no stranger to the world of lovers and
highschool sweethearts
okay you promise good after making a
splash in the beloved comedy classic
Mean Girls that is the ugliest effing
skirt I’ve ever seen
rachel mcadams name came to quick
prominence with the iconic romantic
drama The Notebook by 17 years old you
don’t know anything about love oh and
you do
however despite her potency and
subsequent love tales and her capacity
to perform in roles outside that comfort
zone as demonstrated in films like Wes
[Music]
McAdams has yet to truly receive the
full shine of the spotlight and for that
has landed our number eight pick oh this
is Susan from Planned Parenthood I have
a test herself if you could have her
give me a call as soon as she can number
seven Christina Ricci be afraid be very
afraid we loved and were frightened by
her as the daughter of a Grimm yet oddly
charming family death death to the
enemies of the people of the Republic
but Christina Ricci has stepped into the
shoes of numerous other characters
after departing from The Addams Family
do you believe in the existence of evil
Ricci enjoyed continued success for her
more mature roles in films such as
Buffalo 66 the opposite of sex at Black
Snake Moan goddamn shame off me with
dozens of others solid starring roles
comprising her filmography we wonder why
this California native still retains
only a minimal presence in entertainment
you look like a little boy in the
bathtub what did I just tell you I’m not
looking just imagining number 6 Zoe
Saldana and like that with critically
acclaimed box office successes such as
JJ Abrams Star Trek films you brought me
here because I speak Klingon
then let me speak clearly and the
highest-grossing movie of all time James
Cameron’s Avatar see you it’s a peculiar
bewilderment that our number six pick
has made this list you have a strong
no fear
[Music]
stupid ignorant like a child
making her mainstream mark with drum
lines and simple for you
Saldana celebrity wouldn’t come to
fruition for another year until her
supporting role among a group of
eccentric Disney pirates Ana Maria the
actress has since moved on to leading
roles in big budget blockbusters from
some of Hollywood’s most respected
Giants so where’s the fire for this
explosive talent of a chick number five
Sarah Polley reducing another
undervalued Canadian starlet this
well-rounded Officer of the Order of
Canada has made other numerous
noteworthy successes deserving of a far
more eminent light you’re in no position
to talk to me about right and wrong
entering mainstream Hollywood and Zack
Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake I think
that’s why it spread so fast Sarah
Polley has since gone on to focus on
other production roles behind the camera
hormonal changes in 2006 her directorial
debut away from her was met with
critical praise and an Oscar nomination
for Best Adapted Screenplay we are at
that stage grant we are at that stage
with continuing successes in acting
writing and directing it’s a near shame
that she should be anywhere near this
list number four Joan Allen and it’s
enough that we know we know Oscar
nominations aren’t everything in
entertainment but when you’ve got three
of them and a Tony win as part of your
prestige it borders on criminal that
your name should remain unfamiliar to
many I want everything you got on Ross
on screen one though Joan Allen is
noteworthy for her roles in such action
flicks like face off everything they’re
not out of our lives and the Bourne
franchise born she had certainly proved
her worth long before with preceding
performances in non-explosive films this
includes an adaptation of Arthur
Miller’s the crucible forgive me I never
knew such goodness
[Music]
we kept my head and Oliver Stone’s
political thriller Nixon which garnered
her two consecutive Oscar considerations
we can be happy we really can the girls
and I love you dick
number three Emily Blunt great
introduced to mainstream audiences in
the hit comedy drama The Devil Wears
Prada we need to find someone who can
survive had you understand this
remarkably talented and colorful English
actress has since gone on to perform in
starring roles and one critically
acclaimed picture to the next now you’re
gonna tell me who you are and what
you’re doing on my farm I’ve said it’s
unfortunate that her name has yet to
reach the same level of Fame as other
English actresses
however with her most recent powerful
performances in contemporary sci-fi hits
opposite famed red-carpet errs like
Joseph gordon-levitt and Tom Cruise
we’re sure Emily Blunt will soon be
establishing a new benchmark for her
Commonwealth peers just go to sleep
okay baby boy night sweetie
number two Minnie Driver
oh hey you may remember her from her
oscar-nominated role in Good Will
Hunting because if you say that to no
cool you what beyond MIT grounds
she has also contributed to other
numerous supporting roles in such
renowned films as owning Mahoney yukata
in addition to being underrated as an
actress you got a gambling problem and
we are gonna deal with this together
Minnie Driver is even less known and
appreciated for her vocal talents which
have been beautifully demonstrated both
on record and
and silver-screen releases before we
unveil the queen of underrated starlets
most guys don’t come here for my
forest we have very different labs you
know I’ve made so many mistakes and I
feel like taking this job would be
another one number one Diane Kruger I
liked it
taking the top spot on our list is a
gorgeous German actress and model whose
works have showcased her to be more than
just another pretty face you speak
German better than your friends no have
I been shot yes I don’t see me tripping
the light fantastic up ahead cop is
anytime soon
despite her starring roles beside
renowned Hollywood names like Brad Pitt
and Liam Neeson Diane Kruger has yet to
draw a legitimate and potent following
in entertainment they kid my family my
father with her body of work further
stretched out to modeling it’s not
difficult to believe that entire nations
would start epic and blood-soaked Wars
for this lovely leading lady so why
haven’t they how do you expect me to Vox
Annette cop it do you agree with our
list I disagree but to find out I need
to talk to him which actresses do you
think don’t get the proper recognition I
just don’t like her for more
entertaining top 10s published every day
