This has been quite a year for actress Anna Kendrick. Not only has the 24 year-old starred in the highest grossing movie of the year (which also broke a few box office records as well), New Moon, but she is also in what could possibly be the best movie of the year, Up in the Air. The icing on the cake? Her role in Up In the Air earned Kendrick her first Golden Globe nomination this morning!
Kendrick, who plays Jessica in the Twilight Saga, takes on an adult role in Air. Her character, Natalie, is a young up-and-comer who travels with George Clooney as he attempts to show her the value of his way of doing business (she prefers to do some hard work over the internet, like firing people over a video conference). She earned rave reviews for her performance and it looks like they were well deserved.
Next up for Kendrick is the release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, also starring Michael Cera, Brandon Routh, and Jason Schwartzman. And of course you can’t forget the next installment of The Twilight Saga.Eclipse will be in theaters on June 30, 2010.
