For which film was Emily Blunt closest to an Oscar nod?

I voted for The Devil Wears Prada although I do think she was sixth for Mary Poppins Returns too, but I think she was closer for TDWP because it was more of a traditional role especially in supporting, and she could have coattailed off of Streep.

I did end up predicting Blunt in the end; although I know I was dumb too. Not that I begrudge Yalitza Aparicio her nomination because it will give her more of a boost than it will Blunt, should she continue to act, but Blunt was just so charming and other than the original Mary Poppins and a few other films, AMPAS doesn't usually go for things like that. When she missed BAFTA that was a pretty big warning sign since they should have been the ones to love MPR more than anyone. 

By looking at those films on the poll, it's kind of criminal that she never got in. What a range.

I voted for "Prada" which I remember having some hype around her. Though I suspect just like this one, she was also #6 for "Poppins" and probably #7 for "Train". The bad reviews hurt "Train" much and she didn't do much campaign after that. After two great performances in the same year, I was thinking she may finally sneak in for "Mary Poppins" (as I thought "A Quiet Place" was too genre-y for them and didn't predict her) but the movie lost the buzz too fast.

Her precursor run wasn't as strong for "Sicario" and "Young Victoria". And with an exception of that Globe nom, she wasn't nominated for anything for "Into the Woods". I believe she was not even widely predicted for that one, at least not after the film came out. As for "Looper", she'd be a hell of a worthy nominee (and a winner too) but I don't think she was even in conversation?

Fingers crossed for "Wild Mountain Thyme" though.

1. The Devil Wears Prada
2. Mary Poppins Returns
3. The Young Victoria

I don't think she was really in contention with the other films, honestly. She was probably in dreaded sixth place for all three of the above performances.

I think it was quite clearly Mary Poppins Returns.

1. Mary Poppins Returns
2. The Devil Wears Prada
3. The Young Victoria

I think she came in sixth on those three occasions and it's a shame that an actress of her talent still hasn't been recognized with an Oscar nominations. She was never a sure thing but last year seemed to be her year, with two performances in contention, a substantial body of work behind her and possibly lots of goodwill from her fellow actors... alas, it wasn't meant to be since her film, as you said, wasn't a contender in major categories. With Prada, she was battling for the fifth spot with Abigail Breslin, again in a Best Picture nominee, and three years later she was competing against Marion Cotillard (in a supporting role) in a critical flop, Saoirse Ronan in another critical flop and Helen Mirren in a small independent film.

Maybe I have ESPN or something, but I always thought she was gonna make it in. The Academy has a weird soft spot for young female newcomers in non-English roles. Plus, her vehicle was the most celebrated movie of the year. 

None. She will never be Oscar nominated
