Top 10 Most Underrated Actresses

[@georgestephenson6185]

Vera Farmiga is so underrated she doesn't even make the underrated actresses list.

[@phoenixwillington7329]

George Stephenson I agree, same with her sister

[@willhuey4891]

taissa played violet harmon in season 1 of american horror story

[@Prdoe]

Couldn't agree more! She nailed every single character she's played. And her performance in the boy in the striped pyjamas and in Bates Motel are absolutely breathtaking!

[@AyaanB28]

@@willhuey4891 also in the nun

[@JM-ks6ix]

Maybe she didn’t make the list because of her Oscar nom for Up in the Air (amazing) and several award noms for Bates Motel? Though I’d rate her more underrated than Emily Blunt.

[@Ninaofthe90s]

I think Toni Collette is incredibly underrated. She should've been on the list.

[@Red-dh5zr]

+Ninaofthe90s Definitely. Forgot to add that one in my comment. Sometimes I watch a movie just because she's in it. If you haven't seen Japanese Story, she's great.

[@violetalicia6151]

+Ninaofthe90s YES! I was going to write just this! She's an incredible Actress and she's so versatile!

+Ninaofthe90s Agreed. She's one of my favorite actresses.

[@sajmeister]

+Ninaofthe90s Agreed, an Australian woman who is VERY underrated but great at everything she is in.

[@elizabethdiaz8409]

I love Emily Blunt and Rachel McAdams in anything they're in. Also Amanda Seyfried, who I also think deserves more recognition than what she gets.

[@dryb3301]

They are very talented and non of them are underrated anymore

[@isabellew09]

YESSSS AMANDA IS SOOOOO UNDERRATED

[@janelane505]

Emmy Rossum is underrated. Her perfomance in the series Shameless is incredible. Very real.

[@CriegHD]

Ellen Page , Katey Sagal , Vera Farmiga , Claire Danes , Eva Green , Carey Mulligan , Michelle Monaghan.

[@JamieDenAdel]

Are you just naming your favorite actresses?

[@oliviashivell7479]

i agree on Vera, Carey, and Ellen

[@CriegHD]

No , i don't really have favorite actresses but but i really do think that they're underrated.

[@JamieDenAdel]

Speaking of Katey Sagal, I think Ed O'Neill has been underrated as a comedic actor. I haven't seen his current show, but as Al Bundy, he did everything possible with his voice, face, and body to sell that character.

[@12eveal]

ellen page and michelle monaghan, yes, ellen did great in inception and the xmen movies, and michelle did great in mission impossible and source code :)

[@anniebunny722]

Eva Green is honestly so underrated. She can really show off great range with all of her roles. She was fantastic as a Bond Girl in Casino Royale, the bitchy witch in Dark Shadows, a strong warrior in 300: Rise of an Empire, and on Penny Dreadful as Vanessa Ives.

[@diannebuswell1805]

I like 300 But IMO Avatar was way better

[@Mumbabeal]

Vera Farmiga, Rosemund Pike, Ellen Burstyn, Eva Marie Saint, Sarah Paulson, Lee Remick, Jessica Lange and Eva Green are a few that come to mind (no specific order).

[@datickywickygurl]

+Joey Woodburn You had me at Vera Farmiga.

[@haileyniskanendelapuente6575]

Jessica Lange isn’t even underrated she won a couple of emmys and im sure oscars too

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

Yeah I would hardly call Jessica Lange and Ellen Burstyn underrated.

[@9Kualalumpur]

I don't think Emily Blunt and Diane Kruger are that underrated, they are pretty well-known names

[@Rock-Metal91]

+9Kualalumpur Replace Emily Blunt with the other Emily; Emily Watson!

[@reaganhughes665]

+Sam 0091 noooo

[@Rock-Metal91]

Why... Emily Watson is an amazing actress. Was fantastic in Breaking the Waves, Hilary and Jackie, Equilibrium, War Horse, Trixie, Red Dragon, The Boxer, Oranges and Sunshine and Apprpriate Adult, all sublime preformances. You may be thinking of Emma Watson (from the Himani from the 'Harry Potter' movies and 'Perks of Being a Wallflower')... Emily is a completely different actress.

[@latrolettteeeeeee]

Yes but that doesn't mean they get the jobs they deserve.

[@KingJaeEspiritu]

These actresses are called underrated because their performances isnt credited as they need to be. Not because their names are aren't everywhere.

[@TheBeaPerry]

Eva Green. Brilliant actress. Very underrated.

[@sxfia214]

Bea Perry I agree!

[@TheBeaPerry]

she's actually such an amazing actress. Very rare & enigmatic and doesn't give a shit about doing pretty stuff. Just pure passion for acting. And she's just so underrated... ugh! *****

[@brionnyvaus4515]

Favourite actress ever!

[@ganiibraimi8022]

she was awesome as a villain in Dark Shadows

[@DarthNihl312]

Love her on Penny Dreadful. Such a brilliant performance.

[@armangeddongaming9237]

Jennifer Connolly is also underrated. She's beautiful and a great actress.

[@CharismaStrategies]

She's not underrated. She's an experienced actress who has been in the business for ages and has had many award nominations.

[@EZDoes1t]

I don't think she's underrated. She was a celebrated A-List celebrity around the time of Requiem, Beautiful Mind, House of Sand/Fog. She won the Oscar for best supporting actress for Beautiful Mind... and deservedly so, she is an amazing actress. That said, I'm not sure why you would consider her underrated.

[@armangeddongaming9237]

EZ Does It but with her reputation, I dont see her much in movies recently. Her most recent work that made it big was Noah, but I hope I see her in more films. She needs to take Jennifer Garner's place. Idk why she's still around.

[@EZDoes1t]

A.R. BEATZ yeah, couldn't agree more... it would be great to see her in more movies. It seems like she does about 1 project per year now since 2005. But Jennifer Garner is still around? I didn't even realize she was on the radar these days.... she def needs to go.

[@Karmacomatic1993]

Agree.

[@RobyyJUsmile]

Maggie Gyllenhaal and Vera Farmiga should definitely be on this list. Also, Olivia Colman is the most underrated actress that we have, and definitely one of the best. She works mostly on television in the UK but has done a few successful films too, and her performances are always stellar as anyone who's seen the film 'Tyrannosaur' will know.

[@PalmurcioWorld]

+Robert Unsworth Olivia Colman was mindblowing in Tyrannosaur, it's a treaure of actress and very underrated.

[@DeathRoseGaming]

What the hell you on about? She won 3 BAFTAs, 2 in the same year. She getting a lot of prise(?) for The Night Manager, Broadchurch got her a bucket load of rewards too. She even got a best supporting from BIFA for The Lobster what's utterly shite.

[@RobyyJUsmile]

Simone Rose she's not known outside of the uk, all the successes you're listing are british and, like i was saying, mostly for telivision. she's underrated in the sense that people don't know her name.

[@Rock-Metal91]

+Simone Rose I think what they're trying to say is that Olivia Coleman is very underrated on a global level of recognition. Loved her in 'Tyrannasaur' too, should have recieved an Oscar for that... and it's directed by an equally underrated actor, Paddy Considine.

[@PalmurcioWorld]

That's exactly what I was meaning to say, she's really underrated and unknown outside the UK.

[@zeldasubs]

saorise ronan is incredibly talented and underrated

[@lucyhannah1227]

She should have been on this list simply for the comedic value of hearing this woman attempt to pronounce her name (narrator can't pronounce anything right lol)

[@maefiona1501]

+Lucy G yeah lmao. It's pronounced Siercha but spelled saorise. It would've been hilarious

[@Vesnicie]

+Lucy G She gets French right a lot and has a large English vocabulary, which is more than can be said of many voiceover artists.

[@lucyhannah1227]

Snuggles McSquishbottom irrelevant but i love your username

[@Vesnicie]

+Lucy G Well at least I got something right. 😏

[@georgieag]

Emily Blunt is one of my favourite actress. I also agree with Rachel McAdams and Minnie Driver. I think Lake Bell and Clare Danes are also really underrated.

[@Onmysheet]

Clare Danes has a problem keeping her face still during a scene.

[@one2gaming]

Onmysheet Hm, no she doesn't, her characters do.

[@Bendrix27]

[@shanehennenhoefer9881]

How are Rachel McAdams and Emily Blunt underrated? Because they haven't won a lot of awards? I mean these women take starring roles in Hollywood blockbusters left and right. I picture someone "underrated" as being someone who doesn't get the limelight they deserve for their talent. Those women definitely do.

[@gracetaylorsversion3815]

Probably because they haven’t won any Oscars for “Best Leading Actress” or “Best Supporting Actress” at Athens Oscars/Academy Awards. Also, they don’t get a lot of limelight. Most of the time when you ask people their favorite actress, they probably won’t say those two(but I love them).

[@PhilipsWood725]

[@tnorman3329]

Angela Bassett...she was robbed of the Oscar for her portrayal of Tina Turner!

[@landonle3308]

yeah expressing so much emotions for a mute was pretty impressive

[@ljbrown7644]

[@Duke0Forever]

Top 10 overrated actresses with #1 being Jennifer Lawrence.

[@Jayhunny321]

Thank you! Finally someone agrees

[@Duke0Forever]

mimi arthur she got an Oscar only because standards have been way lowered. And Oscar lost its meaning pretty much. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy everyone's films, but some get undeserved attention, then it kinda loses meaning to me. Also, she's a bit arrogant, would you not agree?

[@isabellew09]

[@CountryCowboy008]

Rachel McAdams, definitely. They shot The Notebook and Mean Girls on the same year. SAME YEAR. And you won't see any similarities between two of her characters! Brilliant!

[@houssamlabiod]

+Countrycowboy08 Mean Girls was shot in Summer 2003

[@bo2720]

Rachel McAdams is a force of nature! She can do any role

[@Adam32Smasher]

Zoe Saldana underrated? You disproved that point immediately! Star Trek, Pirates of the Caribbean, Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy!!! What MORE could she do?!!

[@KrustydaClown]

Although she plays in those movies, no one gives her enough credit for it as either they don't remember her in the film or the attention goes to her co-stars.

[@lglukey96]

You clearly don't understand the meaning of underrated.

[@Adam32Smasher]

Oh and Columbiana.

[@caridadchang7895]

while I agree that she has been in many popular movies, she has been in ensemble casts where she is either just the main (or only) female character or love interests, that doesn't mean that the characters or performances are bad but most critics don't see those type of characters as the most important ones of the story

[@rosaline7335]

Rachel McAdams and Emily Blunt are two of my favorite actresses! And they are far more talented than say, Jennifer Lawrence!

[@lennyp6674]

Nope they arent , jennifer lawrence is a very veeery talented actress but since everybody started to love her its only trendy that people start hating on her just like you and saying shes not talented just because she is very famous .

[@rosaline7335]

Blendi Pajaziti I don't hate Jennifer Lawrence and I'm not trying to say that she doesn't deserve the fame. She IS a talented actress, but I'm just saying that in MY opinion Rachel and Emily are MORE talented than she is and deserve to be as much in the spotlight as she is. I'm not trying to bring anyone down; I'm just expressing my feelings, and I'm sorry if you got offended by it, but we all have our opinions.

[@lennyp6674]

Rosaline Fields​ oh no i am not offended , i understand but i see people bringing her down just because she's famous , they do that to everybody i just dont get it , and i thought you were doing the same , i respect your opinion , i like emma stone and rachel mcadams a lot bit jennifer is more talented ( in my opinion , watch winters bone) . Anyway thank you for not insulting me or anything , a lot of people wouldve done that ..

[@rosaline7335]

Blendi Pajaziti Oh absolutely! :) I totally understand and respect your opinion. Thanks for respecting mine as well. And I get it; I see people being mean to a lot of celebrities and their fans for no apparent reason. I will check Winter's Bone out, thanks for recommending it. :)

[@lennyp6674]

[@rugbyfan0025]

i know a lot of people might disagree with this, but i strongly believe saoirse ronan should be on here. the first movie i saw her in was atonement where she was only 13 years old but she was absolutely amazing. since then, she just turned 20 and she's become a master of accents, performing lots of different ones flawlessly in her movies. she was terrific in the lovely bones and hanna, and she was jaw droppingly amazing in the host and how i live now. she also happens to be absolutely beautiful, and has an adorable irish accent. she's definitely a young talent who hasn't received nearly enough attention yet.

[@hedwigkiesler]

Laura Linney & Toni Collette are by far the most underrated actresses of our time.

[@steveforsyth7269]

Most female actors put 8-10 years into their career before they get any kind of break - if they are lucky, they may then have a 2-3 year period of steady work in mainstream films, then they are quickly replaced with the "new flavor"… male actors can spread a career over decades, but female actors generally last as long as a man's interest in the same woman does.

[@jimmy135airs4]

Steve Forsyth Don't try to make this about sexism. Most actors and actresses of the last decade are forgotten except those who had good career choices. How about Scarlett J as black widow,Or Charlize Theron as furiousa in Mad Max?

[@steveforsyth7269]

Jimmy135 Airs - the average movie/TV show has three male characters for every female character. It's simple mathematics. Yes, it's a crummy turnover for men as well, but it is three times as bad for females.

[@jimmy135airs4]

Steve Forsyth Not really, Because most of them will all lose their fame after a while so why does it matter how many female and male characters there are in movies.

[@steveforsyth7269]

Jimmy135 Airs It matters because the odds are even less in their favor of finding fame/success in a role when they have 1/3 of the chances of even GETTING a role to begin with.

[@jimmy135airs4]

Steve Forsyth How's that unfair? There are more male actors than female actresses. And besides if womens' roles were less,wouldn't that mean that they will be more notable and remember-able?

Felicity Huffman? Vera Famiga?

[@one2gaming]

Underrated is a devious term. I agree that all these actress's are underrated, but some of them (Emily Blunt and Rachel McAdams especially) are pretty freaking famous. I think the MOST Underrated Actresses would be actress's that aren't recognized by name, or even by face, who are actually really great proven actress's. The Mara sisters both MORE underrated than Blunt and McAdams, because they are still barely known and recognized yet fantastic actress's. Many, many, many other actress's are also moreso underrated than already famous actress's.

[@one2gaming]

Michelle Fairly also gave one of the best performances in t.v. history yet didn't even get an Emmy nomination. Can't get much more underrated for a performance, even if she hasn't done much else. Lena Headey is very underrated with a great range. Tilda Swinton. Eva Green. And did I say The Mara sisters? Seriously, I had them in my head as my top 2 before I learned they were sisters. They are captivating, and elevate the hell out of their characters. Kate and Rooney Mara man, freaking dynamite that very few know of, care about or appreciate.

Watch Still Alice, Adventureland, Camp x-Ray and Clouds of Sils Maria before saying that Kristen Stewart is a bad actress.

I'd give Michelle Williams, Emma Rossum, and (before Empire at least) Taraji P. Henson

[@80adema]

Jena Malone I consider to be a very talented actress; I don't think she got the roles she diserves.

[@DibIrken]

Seeing her work in Hunger Games and Suckerpunch, she always stood out. I'll watch Donnie Darko too if I can get a copy.

[@imabothowbotyou1891]

I agree have you ever seen a bastard out of Carolina? She was only a little girl but her acting was amazzzzing

[@billhaverchuck]

No, no, no. Toni Colette is the number one most underrated actress around. Hands down. She's so underrated that you didn't even consider her for your list.

[@rd_1550]

Agree!

[@ChokoboLP]

But she was nominated for an Oscar

[@ChokoboLP]

She also won an Golden Globe (and was nominated a couple of Times) and won an Emmy.

[@ChokoboLP]

But than again, Joan Allen and Minnie Driver shouldnt be on this List as well.

[@sweetcakespumpkinlips6211]

Not to mention Delotta Brown

[@krd2331]

I LOVE Rachel McAdams. She's surprisingly versatile as an actress. Carrie Ann Moss was fantastic in Jessica Jones too, I thought.

[@BB-rg3pl]

No mention of Eva Green? She is probably one of the best actresses out there. Or Allison Janney, Angela Bassett, Ellen Burstyn, Emily Watson, Frances Mcdormand, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jessica Lange, & Toni Collette

[@aussieman3021]

I find Emily Watson to be a very underrated actress there, I agree. Hardly anyone knows who she is (or maybe because they mistake her for EMMA Watson, which really annoys me) yet she is a very capable, dedicated actress with a very good ear for accents and can emote very convincingly, just like she did in Lars Von Trier's 1996 movie Breaking The Waves (her performance in it has to be one of the most impressive debuts of any actor or actress in history).

[@Resol26]

The fact that Mary Elizabeth Winstead is not even in honorable mention show how underrated she is.

[@hysenfriel7361]

Mia Wasikowska. Already quite good at the moment and still have a lot of potential.

[@kmax1223]

Hysen Friel Wouldn't call her underrated

[@shekolacarrington4522]

Ummmm where the hell are Elizabeth Mitchell, Elizabeth Shue, Madeleine Stowe, Lana Parrilla, Loretta Devine, Kimberly Elise.... Seriously

[@claudiatalbott111]

Yes Lana is an amazing actress!

[@TheMinarus]

Shekola Carrington LOL .... See that proves that they are definantly underated...Because I can't recognize by name any of the actresses you mentioned :)...

[@Bduboff]

Helena Bonham Carter.

[@21pilotstillidie58]

She is not underrated at all. She threw away her career to star in her husbands bad movies.

[@rumpledskin7971]

Why? She ranks number 6 among "Highest-Grossing Actresses of All Time" and has been nominated for and won a whole lot of awards incuding the Oscars, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Emmy.

[@mihikadeo]

She's a phenomenal actress

[@dryb3301]

She is not underrated! She is an incredible actress and people and film industry know that. Look at all the films she does.

[@salvadorjara841]

I love Mary Elizabeth Winstead i thought she would have been on it

[@devalazer2938]

I feel your pain

[@amparonarbona5142]

She’s awesome

[@yeahthatpat]

WatchMojo.com Strange how no black actresses were on this list seeing as how black actresses are vastly overshadowed by white actresses. Even in this list. Black actresses are the most underrated and yet this video excludes them further.

[@newsynthetic]

***** Sounds like someone was sensitive and was deleting/reporting the comments.

[@yeahthatpat]

newsynthetic got no time for trolls dude.

[@yeahthatpat]

Alec Dejong I didn't make the post to argue with people. So I'm actively not arguing. Guess how I achieve that. My observation is not opinionated. It pointed out that the white actresses on this list are not the MOST underrated actresses. The most underrated actresses are the ones not mentioned. I will not argue with you about this. Move on. [EDIT] Examples: nae-slayer.tumblr.com/post/97384826000/kristen-stewart-zooey-deschanel-jennifer 3rdeyesviews.tumblr.com/post/100882965080/justlizthoughts-youreinmydreamsnow I know I'm not wrong. I'm just not gonna waste my time convincing you that black actresses are generally underrated when it's obvious and you choose to ignore it. You want me to ignore it. The fact is, black people are not equally represented in the media. If anyone wants to chime in they are welcome, but if you ignore this fact, your opinion is not valid. You have no credibility and nothing you say is of any value.

[@krystalroney]

I agree with you 100% dude

[@yeahthatpat]

JWIZZY4real What stereotypes have these actresses consistently portrayed? Plus, this isn't a list of recognized actresses. This is a list of underrated actresses. And if what you say is true, that they play stereotypes, then it proves they aren't appreciated for their range of acting. Most *recognizable* black actresses still struggle for blockbuster Hollywood roles. Being recognizable doesn't mean you aren't underrated.

[@HerrDurkslag]

Charlize Theron and Jessica Chastain should've made the list. You'd be surprised over how few people I've talked to know their work.

[@CriegHD]

Charlize Theron underrated ? hmm no.

[@12eveal]

KRIEGLERR plus shes super hot :)

[@ABeardedDad]

Not sure I'd call Charlize Theron underrated... unless you mean, she's so awesome that even the recognition she has is still not enough, then yes I would agree to that. I'm pretty sure she's on one of WM top 10 actresses lists too, so it doesn't make a lot of sense that she'd be on this one.

[@HerrDurkslag]

whisper012 I guess so. I was thinking more in the lines of unrecognized actresses. That when I mention her name, a lot of people don't know who I mean.

[@Sadvillainy]

Chastain is overrated IMO.

[@sammalla5238]

Jessica Chastain?

[@jeffreyburton7284]

I love Jessica Chastain but I think Hollywood is on to her. It's only a matter of time before she wins an Oscar. She's incredible in everything she does.

[@landonle3308]

yeah essentially 6 years ago she was an unknown then boom 2011 she has four movies( the help, tree of life, Coriolanus, take shelter) released which were her break though and now her career exploded which impressive for somebody her age, and now hollywood is treating her as if she was a well known actress for decades with all these high profile roles even tough she wasn't known till 2011

[@landonle3308]

[@brayanargandonaflorentino548]

Sam Malla my underrated bae

[@Chris24_]

Emily Blunt’s Oscar nomination is LONG overdue. Easily one of the best in the industry for the last 10 years.

[@ItsAmplified]

Ok Emily Blunt isnt really that underrated imo. I think Olivia Wilde should take her spot.

[@JVLY]

Olivia Wilde is hardly underrated. She's a great actress but I can guarantee that more people know of her as opposed to blunt.

[@BanilyaGorilya]

Well, she isn't now since she's been in Looper and Edge of Tomorrow. And Olivia Wilde has been in more independent films besides mainstream Hollywood, so not really underrated?

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

Il of anything Olivia Wilde is overrated

[@rananajjar1863]

Olivia Wilde is OVERRATED wtf does she act in

[@annage1997]

Rachel McAdams, Emily Blunt and Zoe Saldana... seriously? None of them have done anything extraordinairy and most of the films they starred in are mediocre at best. They are you average Hollywood celebrity and not underrated at all. Here's my list (No particular order): Frances McDormand, Annette Bening, Michelle Williams, Helen Hunt, Tilda Swinton, Sally Field, Emmanuelle Riva, Ellen Burstyn, Carrey Mulligan, Naomi Watts, Winona Ryder, Robin Wright, Chloë Sevigny, Juliette Binoche, Elizabeth Shue, Susan Sarandon, Julie Delpy (Before you complain: I know, most of them have won several awards, but this is based on performance/popularity, not Oscar nominations etc. My point is that no one ever seems to talk about them even though their work is outstanding.)

[@Ilnath]

100% agree

[@imsochrisp]

definitely agree with your list, however i'm pretty sure they're referring more to their acting ability, rather than the films that they've been in. their ability to make you really feel the emotions of the character which i believe they are all very good at.

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

Susan Sarandon and Helen hunt are my faves

[@sweetcakespumpkinlips6211]

And Shyla Styles she belongs on the list

[@slug237711]

lmao, you lost me at Tilda Swinton and Sally Field XD

[@Sheismad]

Minnow Driver is so good, especially in the phantom she deserves so much more. Eva Green is another person that deserves much more

[@patrickblake123]

Now Rachel Mcadams is nominated for Spotlight. Good movie and great actress!

[@jx9936]

+Patrick Blake She deserved it, so phenomenal as Sacha Pfeiffer in Spotlight!! I want her to win that Best Supporting Actress instead of Alicia Vikander!!

[@joaosousa5332]

+Patrick Blake And the most ironic thing is that they in the video say "McAdams has yet to truly receive the full shine of the spotlight" and a year later she gets nominated for a film called "spotlight"

[@jx9936]

I don't fuckin ' care about anything, I Just know that Rachel McAdams continues to SLAY me with her effortless Canadian charm and her ageless beauty, just PERFECT!!

[@VenusAlabaster]

I think that the most underrated actors and actresses are the ones that fights so hard to even get a role in a movie or a play. Imagine how much talent there is out there, who don't even get a chance to be in movies :(

[@lcarpetron6997]

It has recently come to my attention that Chloe Sevigny is not on this list.

[@shootatsquare]

Viola Davis. and let's not bring up attractiveness as such a big factor as much as we are

[@thedaydreamer7054]

Juno Temple, Emily Browning, Rooney Mara, Michelle Williams, Zoe Saldana, and Emily Blunt. THOSE are the kind of actresses that deserve the most attention.

[@rananajjar1863]

The DayDreamer Zoe Saldana no thank you!

[@conorwade2535]

Kristen Bell, Allison Brie and Cobie Smulders need to be on this list.

[@starryeyed27]

Kristen Bell is soooo overrated, don't even get me started.

[@CriegHD]

FACT : Cobie Smulders is not underrated.

[@mickyjoe97]

Yeah, I'd call her more of an "up-and-coming" actress, seeing as she's only finished HIMYM

[@TheBlueCerulean]

Yes on Alison Brie, she's fantastic in Mad Men.

[@humayrafaizah1428]

Kristen Bell is beautiful but she cant act

[@zakiaantoinette]

Michelle williams should've been here!! her work is never recognized.

[@appleslover]

Zakia Antoinette agree

[@misscellaneous5329]

YASSSSSSSSS

[@bryanshealy2387]

Except when she got worldwide recognition and fame that time she played Marilyn Monroe 😮🙄

[@bryanshealy2387]

And the 3 OTHER times she was nominated for an Oscar...

[@charlottebuchanan3193]

Youre obviously in la la land. Michelle Williams is always being nominated for Oscars.

[@oliviadrambarean6059]

What about Vera Farmiga?!?

[@Harkness78]

Zoe Saldana, Rachael McAdams, and Emily Blunt are not underrated... they are all among the top 10 working actresses at the moment. Sure none of them are getting Oscar noms, but that's more because of the roles they are choosing, or the lack of leading dramatic roles for 20-35 year old females. I agree with the rest of the list, and I know the entire thing can't be woman over 35. For younger faire, should have had Evan Rachel Wood on the list proper, along with Lizzy Caplan and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

[@rananajjar1863]

Harkness78 omg agree with you a hundred percent!

[@zippiizhappy]

What about Dianna Agron and Emily Browning?

[@Thecoolven]

+Chayanis Lee yeah both are really great actresses and so underrated.

[@lucyhannah1227]

Dianna Agron has only ever been in terrible movies

[@jordansykes1466]

+Lucy G same with Emily browning

[@aaronjohn786]

Underrated mean 1. talented actress but 2. not recognisable. Though argon fulfill the second criterion, she failed for the first criterion.

[@zippiizhappy]

aaronjohn786 but emily browning did good job in acting.

[@XVSting]

I remember when I saw Winter's Bone for the first time and I was like: "Damn! That girl is underrated as fuck!" So much regret for saying that now...

[@angelicaca]

I love love love Emily Blunt!

[@charlesrobinson1637]

Mia Farrow the most underrated actress ..never even got nominated for a Oscar ..Should have won for Rosemarys Baby and Purple Rose of Cairo ..

[@mathiasmaire9168]

Well, I am not sure Farrow in Rosemary's baby can match the ultimate performance of Zoe Saldana in Star Trek.... I am kidding of course, I agree with you...

[@mikeynike81]

ii dont get why zoe zaldonna on here. shes in a bunch of blockbusters. she currently in 2 franchises Star Trek ad Gaurdians.

[@SurfintheHighway]

And Avatar... she's one of the most succesful actresses right now, to be honest.

[@urdnotstark8270]

i think she is underrated in her talents, not name recognition

[@CamWilkinson37]

I think it's more because she's not necessarily recognized for her acting talents but more for being the attractive girl in all of the Sci-Fi films.

[@MrKlatez]

Yeah, I think she's on this list because whilst the public realise she's a fantastic actress due to her roles in blockbusters, the critics seem to push her to the side because of her lack of roles in more, shall we say, Oscar-Baiting movies. Even Avatar didn't get her the praise she deserved. Her performance is one of the greatest in motion-capture history, but because the academy don't believe motion-capture classes as a performance but instead as an elaborate special effect, they refused to nominate her. Seriously!!!

[@ElectricNi]

You guys should also do overrated actresses now.

[@iamnothedwig]

YESSS!

[@chieh887]

+1 agreed lol

[@Mystline18]

Jennifer Lawrence, Scarlett Johansson Kristen Stewart etc

[@Tuosma]

Mystline18 What? no-one thinks kristen stewart is actually good.

[@SARYM911]

Mystline18 If anything,some of the good roles of Kristen Stewart have been overshadowed because of being in Twilight

[@pathfinder1273]

I just loved Joan Allen's work in The Contender. She owned the role.

[@StephaneBergeronPixelyzed]

A lot of great actresses here but half of them I would not call underrated. Here's a few I think truly are: Brie Larson (probably not for long after Room) Olivia Munn (watch The Newsroom) Christina Ricci should be much higher on the list Laura Linney Sophia Myles

[@Harkness78]

lol, Olivia Munn

[@haileyniskanendelapuente6575]

+Stéphane Bergeron Sarah Paulson!

[@jeffreyburton7284]

She was brilliant in that movie. And the movie itself was fantastic. It's so great to see a thriller that doesn't give in to cliche and let's the story play out very naturally. That kid was great in it, too. He's going to be a super star.

[@rananajjar1863]

Brie Larson is horrible which movie did she act in again?
