8. Emily Blunt – A Quiet Place (2018)

In A Quiet Place, Emily Blunt delivered an electrifying, nearly wordless performance, relying on facial expressions and body language to convey pure terror. The bathtub birth scene alone was Oscar-worthy. She won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actress, making her an expected Oscar nominee—yet the Academy shockingly ignored her. While A Quiet Place won for sound editing, Blunt’s snub was glaring, especially given the film’s emotional depth and unique approach to horror storytelling.
