Magazine: Who's hot in hollywood?

Who are the young actors that will become the big stars of their generation? Today makes its predictions...

Emma Stone

Our favourite famous girl gets serious

After a series of comic roles, she starred as Gwen Stacey, the love interest las year's The amazing spiderman and had lead role in civil rights drama The help (La coleur des sentiments). Next, she's playing a femme fatale in the crime drama Gangster squad. Suddenly, everyone is waking up to the fact that Emma Stone is one of the most talented actresses in the Holywood, comfortable with comedy and drama.

In my opinion Emma Stone will be one of the next big stars of Hollywood becouse she only got 25 years and she do lots of movies as a protagonist, i think that she will be an icon of 10's movies.
