Top 5

Top 5: Actresses

This is a tough one, like the Top 5 Actors before it.  Let me define the criteria and that might help anyone who will immediately tear apart my choices. I’m putting myself in the shoes of a director with the ability to cast whomever I want. I’d want someone with proven chops. I’d want someone who is at the top of their game. I’d want someone who can carry a film and/or can work seamlessly with an ensemble. I’d want these five ladies (in no order but alphabetical).

Amy Adams
American Hustle, Amy Adams

Cate Blanchett

Judi Dench
Judi Dench, M, Skyfall

Jennifer Lawrence

Honorable Mention: Emily Blunt, Helena Bonham Carter, Scarlet Johansson, Susan Sarandon, and Emma Thompson (only because she hasn’t done as much in the last decade)
