No. 16. Melissa McCarthy, BridesmaidsBridesmaids was a funny movie, but no one expected Melissa McCarthy, who plays a crude, overweight and politically incorrect maid, to steal the show. She did, and then some. |

No. 15. George Clooney, The DescendantsGeorge Clooney must have made a deal with the devil. How can he be so good looking and funny and charming and good at everything he does? |

No. 14. Michelle Williams, My Week with MarilynIn the first scene Michelle Williams appears as Marilyn Monroe, it appears she’s created nothing more than a lame caricature. As time progresses, it becomes clear she’s nailed the part and then some, capturing the essence of the iconic blonde and injecting her with raw emotion. |

No. 13. Charlize Theron, Young AdultFew accolades came her way this year, but Charlize Theron manages to do what few actors can: make an absolutely unlikable character incredibly fun to watch. |
