4. Emma Stone
Fan-Cast As: Whatever roles don't fit Jennifer Lawrence apparently are perfect for Emma Stone I was tempted to put Lawrence up there as well, and only didn't because I understand that these two fine young ladies are still considered the new meat in Hollywood. Both their names draw in the big cash, which is really a testament to their talent. But I can't tell you how sensationally unimaginative it is to see their names at the top of every list of every picture in need of a romantic interest. I think they're much better than that. While Stone hasn't completely broken free from that type (though she tried in
Easy A and
The Help), Lawrence paid her dues in her Oscar-nominated
Winter's Bone and
The Hunger Games. I suppose that I will say that I prefer Stone to the over-saturation of Zooey Deschanel, another actress I'm fond of whose constant volleying for every awkward, spunky role almost made me give up on her. Again, not the actors' fault, and I might just be a bit loopy, too.
