In her career, Keira Knightly has already been nominated for a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and an Oscar. Right now the question on everyone’s lips is who will get the Sony Ericsson Empire Award. Both Knightley and Emma Watson have been nominated. The films Atonement and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix have both received six nominations.

Keira

Keira Knightley’s decision to accept a role in Bend It Like Beckham saw her in good stead. This low budget British film about women in football became a cult hit. However, it was her contribution to Pirates of the Caribbean that brought her global recognition. At that time Knightley was 18 years old There is no doubt that the young actress’s background has been a great help in her outstanding achievements.

Keira was already accustomed to hard work. Her parents had noticed their daughter’s awareness of performing from around the age of three. Both her father and her mother were actors. Her father Will Knightley and her mother Sharman MacDonald had both appeared on stage and television. Sharman MacDonald had once worked as a go go dancer to pay her for her studies. Keira’s brother Caleb is a musician. He chose to teach music to children who are underprivileged.

Emma

On the other side of the Channel Emma Charlotte Duerre Watson was born in France. She had a French grandmother but English parents. She won the Daisy Pratt Poetry Contest when she was seven years old. In 2001 Watson debuted in the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. She won the coveted role of Hermione Granger against stiff competition. Emma has cited her role models as:

Julia Roberts
Sandra Bullock
Goldie Hawn
John Cleese

The young actress who was born on 15 April 1990, despite her hair colour in the Harry Potter film, is a natural blonde. She is the daughter of Chris and Jacqueline Watson. Both Emma’s parents are lawyers. The actress lives with her mother and brother Alex. Her parents are divorced. Cats Domino and Bubbles are also members of the family. Emma’s best Harry Potter book is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. To the delight of some and the shock of others when the star was just thirteen she was tenth on the list of The Hottest Female Stars.

Keira and Em: True Brits

Both Keira and Emma are true British actresses. They both received a British education and both have been wildly successful. The rate of their success has been received at an extraordinarily rapid level for such young stars. Now their films have been nominated for the same awards. Both actresses have well defined and strong characters. Their approach to the industry stems from a genuine talent that extends further than acting. Rather, it has been noted that both actresses are also creative in the discipline of writing with Keira in scriptwriting and Emma in poetry.

The Sony Ericsson Empire Awards have been scheduled to take place on the 9 March 2008. The event will take place at the Grosvenor Hotel in London. Rob Brydon will be the host.
