Page began acting at age 10, appearing in the telefilm Pit Pony, which would later spin-off a television series. This led to roles in a number of
small Canadian films and television series—notably playing Treena Lahey in Season 2 of Trailer Park Boys. At 16, she was cast in an
independent film shot in Europe, Mouth to Mouth.
Page starred in the 2005 movie Hard Candy, and gained praise for "one of the most complex, disturbing and haunting performances of the
year". As the title-character star of Juno, Page garnered substantial praise; A. O. Scott of the New York Times noted her as being
"frighteningly talented" and Roger Ebert said, "Has there been a better performance this year than Ellen Page's creation of Juno? I don't think
so". Page was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Juno, but lost to Marion Cotillard in La Vie En Rose.
Page next starred in Smart People, which premiered at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival and received a wide release on April 11, 2008. Page
has roles in three films unreleased as of January 2008: An American Crime, which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival; The Tracey
Fragments, which is scheduled for a U.S. release in early 2008; and The Stone Angel.
In 2008, Page will star in Michael Lander's Peacock, opposite Cillian Murphy; and Drew Barrymore's directorial debut Whip It!. Page is also
attached to star in Peter Stebbings' The Defender as well as Jack and Diane opposite Olivia Thirlby, with whom she co-starred in Juno.
Page hosted Saturday Night Live on March 1, 2008 with musical guest Wilco (special appearances by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Rudolph
Giuliani and Vincent D'Onofrio.) For her traditional opening monologue, she mocked the stylized dialogue of the movie Juno with cast
member Andy Samberg, who impersonated Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody. Page's SNL characters included Miley Cyrus, Peter Pan, Virginia
Hastings' stepdaughter, and a young woman named Marty who realizes she is a lesbian after attending a Melissa Etheridge concert.
