Emma Watson a leading lady: But she's is overrated

From hollywoodreporter.com April 9th 2011, "Watson has been a regular on the big screen since childhood, playing Hermione in the Harry Potter film franchise (the last of which, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, premieres July 15). The actress was, until recently, attending Brown University, but announced her plans to leave the school to focus on acting projects in March. Next, she'll be seen opposite Michelle Williams in My Week with Marilyn, and will start filming The Perks of Being a Wallflower in Pittsburgh next month."

ECHEE SAYS: Emma has not won an award in 8 tries. It’s been three years since she won anything. On this list of twelve Emma is listed as number 10.  Kristen Stewart is number 11 but she has more acting experience and an overall better resume than Emma. For the record I think both Emma and Kristen are more pretty than talented. I’m talking different characters as well as high budget and low budget. I guess being in the biggest franchise in movie history played a role for Emma to get on this list. I wonder how much American movie producer Harvey Weinstein played in this now that Emma dropped out of Brown and in turn became his new muse. That's how I see it.  
Let me know when we see more out of Emma instead of her usual eyebrow twitches and over dramatics. I always get a chuckle when I think back to Harvey Weinstein comparing her to Jean Shrimpton and then boasting about Emma's range. What exact proof do we have for this range? All we have is a girl harboring a wand with frizzled hair. Emma has proven she's photogenic in modeling even though you can tell much has been photo shopped and airbrushed which includes missing legs and face thinning but no other success to put her on this list. All she has been and she will be until we see real "range" is a pretty face and that girl that played Hermione. 

I found it hilarious that some of her fans think she should play Elizabeth Taylor in a movie about her life. Wow, talk about putting the buggy before the horse on that one. Did you see Emma in George Craig's, "One night only" music video? She was just plain horrible.  

From thefashionspot.com  "Emma Watson is our dark horse for the coveted part. Just think, she can identify with Taylor's past as a child actress, and her unexpected pixie cut last year proved she is up for drastically changing her look. Also, a biopic seems like a good career move for Emma, in addition to her role in the upcoming dark comedy Perks of Being a Wallflower."

Out of twenty-seven nominations she won 11 awards. None stand out as huge except for her first one. But still she's been labeled as some sort of Icon religiously. I don't get it or see it. In these awards what competition did she have? They are "give me's" and definite.
