Man, Anna Kendrick...I kind of just want her to be my best friend so we can be snarky little bitches together. Aside from being a tremendously talented singer and actor (she was one of the youngest Tony nominees in history, when she was recognized for her work in the Broadway musical High Society), she also comes off as a really cool person. In all of her interviews and tweets, she seems like a quirky, down to earth person, but not in a contrived way like Zooey Deschanel sometimes projects. She's like an ordinary person who just happens to be in films and goes to awards shows and occasionally gets nominated for Oscars. No big. I think she's having a blast with her current level of fame, and more power to her. Her homespun wisdom is pretty much the only reason I bother with Twitter these days, where she says things like, "Ugh - NEVER going to a Ryan Gosling movie in a theater again. Apparently masturbating in the back row is still considered 'inappropriate'" and, "Can 'feminine' prescription commercials WARN us before they say something messed up like 'may burst through uterine wall.' Dude I'm eating." Anna, if you're reading this...you're already my best friend, so the ball's in your court.
