New And Old Hollywood Actresses That Made It Big

This years Oscar nominations have been greatly anticipated. There are several deserving leading actresses from Hollywood, but only one can get the final award. Of course, simply getting a nomination alone is recognition of an excellent job well done.

First up is Sandra Bullock in the \”Blind Side.\” This heart warming movie touched everyone\’s soul when seen in theaters around Thanksgiving. Her acting was precise and skilled, which it hasn\’t always been. Sandra Bullock also performed in many other movies last year that won her recognition. Sandra Bullock is loved by most because she breaks the rules that most Hollywood actresses follow. She isn\’t in the tabloids for controversial things, and she doesn\’t party like other young starlets.

Of course, even though Sandra is one of the \”older\” Hollywood actresses, newer starlets are making a scene too. Last years \”Precious\” film took the world by storm when Gabourey Sidibe played the role of a pregnant and undereducated teenager. Even though she is a new star, she skyrocketed to fame. In interviews she continuously states she had no idea that she would ever become so famous. Her acting skill is sure to take her places!

Carey Mulligan is a relatively newly heard of actress as well. Her role in An Education was so phenomenal that she was nominated for a Leading Actress award. In this film she plays an English school girl that is seduced by a much older man.

Next up is Penelope Cruz, a well known Hispanic actress that is always stunning on the red carpet. She is nominated for a supporting actress role for the movie \”9\” and continues to awe her fans with her acting prowess. Penelope is often misunderstood as a B list star, but her acting and fashion sense definitely have the ability to make her the top of the list.

Unlike other movie stars, Mo\’Nique hasn\’t been in the spotlight. Even though she is well known in Hollywood, she tends to lay low. She also played in the movie, Precious, based off the novel \”Push\” by Sapphire. She plays the evil mother that is abusive and beats her pregnant daughter. Her role is very realistic and powerful – which is why she was nominated as a supporting actress.

Final Thoughts

Hollywood actresses are constantly coming and going, but the women listed above are sure to stay in the spotlight due to their recent stunning performances for their groundbreaking films last year. Whether they are supporting or leading, they certainly deserve the fame that they worked hard for.
