Hollywood's leading ladies were honored with Oscar nominations this week, and accomplished and time-tested actresses like Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock both earned nominations. While credibility and experience is always a valued commodity, it's youth that topped the earning list among females in Hollywood this year, as 19-year-old Emma Watson banked the most money in 2009, signaling a major shift in the showbiz landscape.
For years, industry stalwarts like Angelina Jolie, Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston topped the actress earnings list. While they're certainly not Hollywood's most elder crowd, they brought to the table seasoned and respected filmographies along with their good looks. Watson's topping of the Vanity Fair earning chart signifies a shift away from this.
At just 19, Watson's career has infinite possibilities. Her earnings are based largely on her work in the 'Harry Potter' series as Hermione, and the fact that the series' finale is coming in two parts -- for which Watson pulled in $15 million per film. That put her annual bankroll for 2009 at $30 million, edging out Cameron Diaz by 10 percent, as the lanky blonde pulled in $27 million.Fron:www.popeater.com
