Just look at the span of their careers:
Jodie Comer: 15 years into the job (2008-2023). 2 BAFTA TV wins, youngest ever to win that much. An Emmy win, being the 2nd youngest in the Lead Drama category. An Olivier win. A Tony nom.
Emily Blunt: 22 years into the job (2001-2023). A Golden Globe win early on. A Satellite and Saturn win. A SAG win.
I'm not trying to compare them based on the amount of awards but it does show one challenging herself toward projects that earn her those accolades while the other is content to just not take as much risks.
Blunt has talent. She showed so much promise early on but not a whole lot of projects showcase them as much as they should. Perhaps The English but it's all been blockbuster fodder. It's been years since her last venture with an auteur, Sicario. It's been years since she did stage work. I get she's making a lot of money, I get she has a family, but there could be other ways around it.
Comer reminds me a lot of a young Blunt. Their acting styles, their personalities, the voice Comer uses for Prima Facie is pretty much Blunt's voice. Some would argue that Blunt is getting older and Comer's the "next best thing" but 40 isn't old and it's not like Hollywood's stuck in the 40s where women were already playing grandma roles. Maybe it's not necessarily Blunt's fault and I don't mean to imply such but there has to be someone who can utilize her to her fullest abilities or we may see Jodie Comer get nominated for an Oscar before Emily Blunt does.
