[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d actually nominate Michelle Williams for this honor! She was unrecognizable vapid in Amy Schumer’s latest film, a far cry from her usual thoughtful and serious performances. She’s a magnetic presence on screen, regardless.[/quote]

Oh, I like this idea!  She was hesartbreaking in Manchester by the Sea.[/quote]

She was also good in Wendy and Lucy, and in My Week With Marilyn.  She takes far more risks, too, acting in lots of indie/auteur/experimental films: I'm Not There; Synecdoche, New York; The Station Agent; etc.

I think that Knightly is a decent actress, but her range has been pretty narrow.  [/quote]

Not to be harsh, but Michelle Williams is pretty forgettable.  I doubt the average person could name one movie she has been in.

Not the same league as Streep or Blanchett.[/quote]

The average person you quoted listed 5 films MW is in, and I'll add Blue Valentine to the list.

She's also set to be Gwen Verdon in an upcoming tv show about Bob Fosse and frankly there aren't too many actresses today who is enough of a triple threat to play Verdon.[/quote]

I agree. I think she's pretty amazing. And very versatile. Not many women can come from teen dramas on the CW (Dawson's Creek) to legitimate, challenging roles. And she does it well. [/quote]
