Amy Adams is one of my favorite actresses and soon she will be for the world as well. Adams is one of those dynamic, yet underrated, thespians that must slowly build a resume of outstanding pictures before some big wig takes notice. Then, she'll take one film that will bring the bandwagon and "fan"demonium will ensue.

Adams first caught my attention with her role in Junebug followed by a turn as a princess in Enchanted. I absolutely adored her in Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. She currently stars in the Oscar-nominated film Doubt alongside the brilliant and subtle Meryl Streep and formerly underrated Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Not to be mistaken with the witty Isla Fisher, Adams should own a room full of trophies from the phenomenal performances she has undertaken since she first began acting.

Hopefully, the Academy and everyone else will catch on soon.
