This interviewer asked FABULOUS questions that go beyond “what did you do in your career” and get to the heart of “how did you feel about it” and “what affected you”.

[@fionanicolson2021]

I could listen to her speak forever. She is so honest & thoughtful and speaks very clearly.

[@TheEbo34]

It makes sense that Emily Blunt and Anne Hathaway are good friends because she is probably the most down to earth and most disarming A-list celebrity we have right now. She's also really funny? I keep watching her interviews this award season and am enthralled by her.

[@grafffuller3265]

SAGAftra, you should ALWAYS have Perri Nemoroff interviewing the people in these discussions. She did an amazing job...and the way that she was able to PULL amazing answers out of Emily Blunt (who is SO reticent in answering). At the end, even Emily was so happy with how it went. Brava! Incredible interview. Thank you, so much.

[@puladavid]

Also, the interviewer is so good. Great intelligent questions. And of course, Emily is a great raconteur

[@LJE1821]

1:18:25 Emily is so adorable every time she talk about her husband John 🥹✨

[@annalineramos516]

Emily Blunt's journey is a testament to the fact that while formal training can be beneficial for many actors, raw talent, hard work, and a genuine passion for the craft can also lead to a successful and celebrated acting career. Her ability to immerse herself in diverse roles and captivate audiences reflects the depth of her talent. Some of her notable roles include "The Young Victoria," "Edge of Tomorrow," "Sicario," "A Quiet Place," and "Mary Poppins Returns." Each of these roles demonstrates her adaptability and range as an actor. She can do drama, comedy, thriller, musical, action, and science fiction. Waiting for her to work with Leonardo DiCaprio, Christian Bale, Johnny Depp, and again with Cillian Murphy and Benicio del Toro Plus, her interviews often showcase a combination of intelligence, humility, and a good sense of humor. Great intelligent questions from the interview.

[@benrosn8154]

Oh cool, she’s a really great actress honestly

[@renanberger7885]

Emily Blunt is such a class act. Beautiful smart eloquent queennnnn ugh you gotta love her!!! And Perri is an amazing conductor. Well done.

[@robharris8844U]

[@MultiKarola]

[@user-hk5yt2rl9c]

Became mildly obsessed with Emily after watching sunshine cleaning, she just seems like the best human with amazing humour just love her, such a talent.

[@lalique512]

Ms. Emily Blunt is Talents Unlimited! She is truly so articulate that I honestly can listen to her speak for hours. Great interview in every way.

[@scottbarkley496]

EDGE OF TOMORROW = MASTERPIECE

[@lordfarquaad8267]

Perri is the best interviewer working today afaic.

[@TalysaV]

Love Emily Blunt! Also Perri is one of my all time favorite interviewers. She always has super insightful questions. Happy to see her here!

[@mrp8811]

Edge Of Tomorrow 2...could start with them both as very old and each day keeps taking them back

[@norahsalem2462]

Amazing interview, amazing guest ❤

[@joemckim1183]

Please have Perri as the interviewer on these videos more often, she's great.

[@user-yq2vu6dm5c]

I just LOVE Emily Blunt!! Thank you for this conversation!!

[@cinemadrunk13]

Amazing to see Perri here! FYC is the best oscar coverage show in my opinion!

[@michaeldonovan4793]

This was more an oppenheimer fest than a retrospective...Emily blunt is a real treasure and all her performances great..

[@LesleyVamos]

Perri!!!!! Been watching her interviews and thoughts on film for years - SO awesome to see her getting more of a platform and getting to find out more about actors through her thoughtful questions!!

[@mariamrz6018]

Amazing interviewer!!! I hope one day I'll have someone that passionate about their work asking me questions.

[@robertgoyette5863]

Perri is so great at these! always a good video when shes hosting.

[@carpediemearth]

She's a great talent and with a great body of work and several iconic roles. I like how down to earth and humorous she is too. There was a lot of great insight here and great questions.

[@purplecookie4798]

She is so charismatic!

[@Carina-24]

Great conversation ❤ Emily Blunt should narrate an audiobook, love listening to her

[@LunFamilyCoTV]

That was awesome! Thank you so much for bringing up the best-ever career restrospective of Emily Blunt! She's such a gem that I don't prefer to pull so much attention on her to protect her :D From Oppenheimer to Mary Poppins, Devil Wears Prada, Edge of Tomorrow, she always gave her BEST+ performance to us

[@ginnymasterson31]

Perri is such a good interviewer -- She has clearly done her homework, has genuine passion for film and filmmakers, and her questions are so thoughtful -- both toward Emily but also toward the audience, many of whom I assume are in the industry and would like to learn from someone like Emily. Not the standard awards season junket sort of questions. Well done!

[@LJE1821]

Love her so muchhh

[@LJE1821]

I always amazed how she handle her career and being a mother. And listening how she chose a role and not allowing someone dictating her is the most risky but healthiest to that profession. Being an actor is not easy job, and can destroy yourself by dirty industry, so I’m happy she knows what she wants and what she needs. She also knows her limits and not doing too much for a fame. 🩷 Please continue being you Emily, ✨

[@helenaaraujo6324]

1h26min of pure joy

[@goddamnneedsomehelp]

These questions are so interesting and unique, I really love this interview!

[@Anitaita-yz6pf]

Hope cillian murphy video soon 🤗🤗

[@vissays634]

Are these videos uploaded pre re corded or same day

[@markdaly1648]

Cillian murphy doesn't do this kind of career retrospective thing. He is a very low key guy. He loves music. And plays music in a band. He was part of the cork theatre scene where he met enda Walsh. And starred in disco pigs. And everyone who saw him knew they were looking at a star. But if you look at his career. He works with christopher Nolan a lot. He completely inhabited the role of Robert oppenheimer. 100 percent.

[@anam1097]

@@markdaly1648 he literally did though. photos have been released so we’re all just waiting for the interview to be published

[@Countfoscolikesmice]

yay! Perri Nemiroff!😁😁😁

[@RightPhalanges]

Love the host asking all these questions! Excellent Host and excellent questions. Love Emily!!! And loved her answers to the questions...no ego, just humbleness and real.

[@petewong2372]

Even she doesn’t get the Oscar. She should get the Emmy Award

[@user-wh1cv3sf3f]

Great share , I'm a huge fan . Love to hear you share perspectives! Happy new year

[@davids2096]

I found this channel via the You Tube algorithm! I am glad I did because I love Emily Blunt's performaces! Her best performance in my opinion is in the 2007 film Wind Chill with Ashton Holmes co starring! She gave such a natural and realistic performace in that movie, that I could really empathize with her character and situation! She took me on that ominous, perplexing, neferious and dark journey with her and Ashton! I realize that's not her biggest film financially or critically acclaimed movie, but from my perspective, it's her best work! Great content and keep up the good work! Take care!

[@annacathrinesvejsteup4644]

I so agree her performance in that was outstanding!

[@ximtex]

That was fantastic !

[@daniescobarm]

PERRI!!!! best interviewer

[@magorzatadziekonska5983]

Great interview, thank you :)

[@agingflowerchild]

Feeling proud of herself would interfere with the work. Feeling things is what she does for a living and she needs a clean place to work.

[@findingmybliss5713]

great to hear and see how actors start out and see them start in your favourite shows and then see them go onto great pieces that people love and connect with

[@tuyentrinh8849]

She delicates to her career wholeheartedly l really look up to her attitude in this interview ❤❤

[@stephenberson7236]

I was very impressed with this young woman asking the questions. She was very precise, clear and asked terrific questions. Of course Emily was perfect as usual.

[@lynnkanable7023]

So smart, talented and beautiful

[@caughtinyourheadlights]

Her impressions are so spot on

[@upendasana7857]

I just love Emily Blunt

[@fionanicolson2021]

Thank god she didn't train because she is so far more intuitive & observent.

[@upendasana7857]

....also that film Summer of Love is an amazing film so for anyone who hasn't seen it then they must

[@calebcostigan2561]

She’s becoming very Grand Dame as she settles into her 40s. I always liked how unpretentious she was for so long.

[@yamil.343]

Love her.

[@johnt9783]

Classy. Period.

[@MoleyRusselsWart_]

She looks beautiful. Underrated in a lot of movies

[@100vfilms]

Amazing interviewer!

[@saragarratt4397]

She's so lovely.

[@jacquelinedesanctis7082]

What a beautiful woman and person.

[@jasonsaleem552]

Thank you!

[@twononcriticsandacat]

She’s incredibile! Enjoyed the conversation so much! But when are you publishing Cillian Murphy?

[@Smartbeautifulawesome]

Love, love Emily. John Krasinski is a lucky man.

[@fionanicolson2021]

She is beyond lovely & very invested in her craft❤❤❤

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Me to myself: “I rarely say this people who aren’t me but you’ve got to calm down. Bloody hell!”

[@debblackmore7460]

❤❤ beautiful ladies stay strong stay positive stay safe everyone takecare becareful out there covid still around merry Christmas happy new year sending luck hugs prayers love from headway Nottingham UK xxx ❤

[@worldtravelingwithus]

The director of Lion in Winter with Patrick Stewart was Andrei Konchalovsky. He’s been married 5 times, so I’m guessing he isn’t the best at treating women nicely to put it mildly 🤨.

[@Inferno-Dante]

Who Konchalovsky? And no, he didn’t treat them nicely

[@findingmybliss5713]

I would love to see Kate Winslet, Emily Blunt and Emma Thompson in a film together

[@robharris8844U]

Emily was beautiful as 'Young Victoria' but also in 'The English' and she should be more proud of her work ❤

[@yl0000]

John Krasinsiki is such a lucky so-and-so.

[@Kee682]

where is cillian's !!!??

[@tonttaana8930]

Does she play Cello??

[@davidadams3408]

Jaws not about a shark??? she's been listening to Mark Kermode 😆

[@mrp8811]

original singed poster of raiders of the lost ark. i would not be saying no.no.no.no

[@chaser1254]

Madonna in progress.

[@oscarfun100]

How so? Blunt had one hit movie after the other, critically also succesful. Madonna on the other hand.. well, she got the Golden Globe for Evita, so there's that.

[@rehnumachowdhury3629]

Who is the audience made up off? SAG members?
