She is the most under rated actress in Hollywood. The definitely deserved the oscar for her performance at The Impossible. Her beauty is so raw, so genuine, like a goddess and something about her makes me so safe, i bet she's a very kind woman. I hope she will get an oscar soon in leading role category. Don't give up Naomi!

She's so brilliant. I recently watched her in The International. Excellent, as always. I'm due for another Naomi Watts film. So many wonderful performances to choose from.

just lovely beyond words. & so talented--a genuinely under-rated actor.

@ennaphillips8619 10 жыл бұрын

Absolutely brilliant in The Impossible. I think she should've won the Oscar for that - as much as I like Jennifer Lawrence, I think Watts showed much more realism, more emotional depth and diversity in her role than Lawrence did. In my opinion it is much harder to play a normal person going through an emotional trauma than it is to play a person with a mental illness. Many actors (incorrectly) assume that with mental illnesses, you can just make the character "crazy" and everybody will go along with it. I've only seen her in one movie but already I love Watts as an actress.

In general, she’s British-Australian. That probably explains her Australian accent.

Naomi's been one of my favorite actresses ever since I saw her in Mulhulland drive.I came out of the movie scratching my head but I was sure of one thing;Naomi was frickin incredible. she's played a wide range of characters after that and has been great in all of them.She seems like a very sweet person as well.On an "unrelated" note, through this interview I just realised that her brother is Ben Watts.I'm also into photography and he shoots great stuff 4 mags like Details & GQ

@akek23 I agree.I was blown away by her performance in Mulholland Drive; it was oscar worthy stuff but she didn't even get a nomination.RIDICULOUS. I watched practically everything she was in after that and she always delivers.The last thing I saw her in was Woody Allen's "you will meet a tall dark stranger" and another movie "mother and child"(I think that's the name) and she was great in both. I missed Fair Game but will be checking it out on netflix.

I think she's one of the Top 5 most talented actresses right now in Hollywood, and surely is my favorite. Her performances in Mulholland Drive and 21 grams blew me completely away. Too bad she wasted her talent in such shallow roles as in King Kong.

Shes English actually. Grew up in Kent, near to where I live, where she was born. She said she considers herself to be a Brit. Look it up. Its on Wikipedia.

@JeffreyKenison 19 күн бұрын

On Britannica’s website, it said that she’s British-born Australian. Whereas on the NNDB website, it said that her nationality is Australia 🇦🇺. Hence the accent.

Her charm really wins me over. To my friends I'm the biggest cynical dick that they know, but every time i watch any interview with Ms. Watts I feel all squishy inside. She's a natural charmer. And Mulholland Drive? A classic that would've fallen throught without her. Her charisma is truly the stuff of legend and I love how nervous she seems to get in interviews. Liev Schreiber is one lucky mutha*#A

I've always thought she's good until this morning when my Sunday paper included an ad that she appears in for Pantene, a Proctor & Gamble product. Proctor & Gamble is STILL using live animals to test its ingredients in, despite there being no regulatory requirement for them to do so. How is it that there are products right next to P & G's on the store shelf that are NOT tested on animals?

If you want to put PhD after your name, you need to pass a doctorate program. If you want to put Attorney-at-Law after your name , you need to pass the bar exam. But anybody can be a casting director. There's no qualifications. One of the casting directors I had in LA got the agency in a divorce settlement
