Emily Blunt’s 12 Best Film Performances, From ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ to ‘Oppenheimer’


Variety ranks Emily Blunt's best movies and performances which include "Oppenheimer," "Looper," "Mary Poppins Returns" and "The Devil Wears Prada."

Both effectively convey the relentless and never-ending pursuit of bringing down the drug cartel in Denis Villeneuve’s neo-Western thriller from scribe Taylor Sheridan (“Hell or High Water”), under the lens of master cinematographer Roger Deakins and against the composing backdrop of the late Jóhann Jóhannsson. It requires guts to take on an iconic performance such as Julie Andrews’ in her Oscar-winning role of “Mary Poppins.” Blunt’s fearless and impeccable vocals, especially in the Oscar-nominated number “The Place Where Lost Things Go,” is one of beauty and elegance, showcasing irresistible happiness that we don’t see too often in films, especially in sequels. Part of the avalanche of critical acclaim and admiration for Nolan’s drama, Blunt’s brave turn as the wife and former Communist Party member who supports the creator of the atomic bomb is a sensational outing.
