| Charlize Theron Everything about Charlize Theron is sexy, from her amazing green eyes to her statuesque 5'10" body. However, her sex appeal has a lot to do with her feminine grace and class, which she has in spades. She always carries herself like a lady, and is never caught partying it up in the L.A. or New York club scene. Whether she's on the red carpet, in an interview or accepting an award, Charlize Theron always acts like a real woman. Charlize Theron is one of the great actresses of our time. With her ability to capture a plethora of characters, she relentlessly demands the audience’s full attention as soon as she appears on screen. This South African native is continuously being praised and admired for her inspiring and powerful performances. Theron captivated audiences as female serial killer Aileen Wuornos in the independent gem Monster. Theron received the Independent Spirit Award & the National Broadcast Film Critics Association as well as winning the Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild, San Francisco Film Critics Circle, New York Film Critics Online and Southeastern Film Critics awards, the Breakthrough Performance Award from the Nation Board of Review and the Academy Award, all for her emotionally devastating performance in Monster. Continuing with her busy schedule Charlize was next seen in the drama North Country opposite Frances McDormand and Sissy Spacek for director Niki Caro. Based on the real life story of a group of women coal miners and the hostile work environment they faced on a daily basis, North Country received great praise. Her incredible performance as Josey Aimes garnered her nominations for a Golden Globe, SAG, Critics Choice, and an Oscar. “It’s strange that people put so much emphasis on us. We make movies, but you know what? At the end of the day, we’re just normal people. After the Oscars, I had people waiting outside my house and following me around. I realized I couldn’t live my life this way, so I filed a lot of police reports, and now it’s fine. I’m just never going to be comfortable being easy prey. I just can’t. I’m never going to be that starlet girl, the paparazzi angel who always says the right thing, because it’s not who I want to be. I’m very lucky: I have a great job, I have my friends and my family and my dogs, and anything other than that right now I’m not focused on. It’s the only way I know how to live.” Awards 2010 Delta 99 Most Desirable Women #8 2009 Delta 99 Most Desirable Women #11 2008 Delta 99 Most Desirable Women #14 Hasty Pudding Theatricals - Woman of the Year 2007 Delta 99 Most Desirable Women #4 CineVegas International Film Festival - Half-Life Award 2006 Delta 99 Most Desirable Women #3 GLAAD Media Awards - Vanguard Award Golden Camera, Germany - Golden Camera Film International Los Angeles Film Festival - Spirit of Independence Award 2005 Delta 99 Most Desirable Women #3 Hollywood Film Festival - Actress of the Year 2004 Delta 99 Most Desirable Women #5 Academy Awards -Oscar - Best Actress in a Leading Role for: Monster Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards - Critics Choice Award - Best Actress for: Monster Camerimage - Krzysztof Kieslowski Award Central Ohio Film Critics Association - Best Actress for: Monster Chicago Film Critics Association Awards - Best Actress for: Monster Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association Awards - Best Actress for: Monster Golden Globes - Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for: Monster Independent Spirit Awards - Best Female Lead for: Monster Independent Spirit Awards - Best First Feature for: Monster Shared with: Patty Jenkins (director), Mark Damon (producer), Donald Kushner (producer), Clark Peterson (producer), Brad Wyman (producer) Las Vegas Film Critics Society Awards - Sierra Award Best Actress for: Monster National Society of Film Critics Awards - Best Actress for: Monster Satellite Awards - Golden Satellite Award - Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama for: Monster Screen Actors Guild Awards - Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for: Monster Vancouver Film Critics Circle - Best Actress for: Monster 2003 National Board of Review - Best Breakthrough Performance by an Actress for: Monster San Francisco Film Critics Circle - Best Actress for: Monster 2000 Bambi Awards - Shooting Star: Female |
