When relative neophyte Blunt was nominated for two 2007 Golden Globes for a pair of antithetical performances — her searing work as a daughter at odds with her adulterous father in the TV-movie Gideon's Daughter and her delightfully over-the-top turn as a fashionista in the feature The Devil Wears Prada — she was just fulfilling her initial promise as one of her generation's most versatile players. Still a teen when she made her London stage debut in 2001's The Royal Family (opposite Dame Judi Dench and directed by Sir Peter Hall, no less), the British actress earned the Evening Standard Theatre Award for best newcomer. She soon transitioned to screen projects, making an impression whether playing an ancient warrior (Boudica), a Roman beauty (Empire) or a manipulative woman-eater (My Summer of Love). Already an established starlet in her homeland, Blunt burst onto the Hollywood scene with her scene-stealing Prada turn. Yet she won her Golden Globe for her work in Gideon and seemed simply giddy backstage with her longtime beau, Canadian crooner Michael Bublé.
