Blunt made the jump to the big screen during this period, making an impression in My Summer of Love (2004), in which she played a character who had a summer fling with another woman. Krasinski directed both movies in the series.

Prior to her marriage, Blunt was in a relationship with Canadian singer Michael Bublé.

Blunt received her fifth Golden Globe nomination for the role.

While growing up, Blunt excelled at singing, playing cello and horseback riding, but had not considered following in her mother's acting footsteps because she, herself, struggled with a stutter. She became interested in acting at an early age, and when she was 18, she landed the classic role of Juliet in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet in a production for the UK Chichester Festival.

For her work in the film, Blunt received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama. Blunt gave an impressive performance as "Mara", a cunning young destroyer who acts crazy and surreptitiously provokes paranoia in others. She also starred in the horror film "The Chill" (2007) and had a small role in the well-received Steve Carell comedy, "Dan in Real Life" (2007).

Blunt's performance with a neurotic twist added a dimension of sarcasm to the comedy, and gained her much attention as well as new jobs: in two dramas opposite Tom Hanks, then in the title role in the period drama, The Young Victoria (2009). In addition to Blunt’s nod for her portrayal of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s wife, Kitty, the biopic received 12 other nominations, including for Best Picture and Best Actor for star Cillian Murphy.

She pursued acting from a young age and found her earliest professional footing in theater prior to her movie debut in 2004’s My Summer of Love. The breadth of her versatility coupled with her love of unusual, unhinged characters was solidified with starring roles in as varied projects as "Sunshine Cleaning" (2009), "Young Victoria" (2009), "The Wolfman" (2010), and "The Adjustment Bureau" (2011).

Her talents include singing and playing cello; she is also skilled at horseback riding.

On August 28, 2009, Blunt and Krasinski announced their engagement. Her almost cartoonish role in "Prada" notwithstanding, she displayed a preference for character roles that were more realistic and richly layered, like the socially awkward teacher Prudie in "The Jane Austen Book Club" (2007).

Blunt maintained her dead-on American accent throughout the rest of 2007, with the relative newcomer again thrown into the ring with great actors like John Malkovich in "The Great Buck Howard" and Tom Hanks in "Charlie Wilson's War." In the former, she played a magician's publicist, while in the latter she gave a married man a tongue bath.

She earned her seventh Golden Globe nod and notched a major career first: an Academy Award nomination. In August 2000, she was chosen to perform at the Edinburgh Festival. She gained widespread fame through her role as Emily, the haughty senior assistant to Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly, in the film "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006).

Just ask Oppenheimer actor Emily Blunt, who found out she earned her first Academy Award nomination while cleaning up dog poop. Her most prestigious awards include the 2007 Golden Globe for "Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie" for the TV film "Gideon's Daughter," the 2009 BAFTA award for "Best British Artist of the Year," and the 2015 Critics' Choice Movie Award for "Best Actress in an Action Movie" for the film "Edge of Tomorrow." In 2019, Blunt received nominations for the Golden Globe, Critics' Choice, Screen Actors Guild Award, and several other awards for her singing, dancing, and acting performances in the musical "Mary Poppins Returns" and the horror film "A Quiet Place."

Emily Blunt began dating "The Office" star John Krasinski in November 2008.

The first-time Oscar nominee learned she was competing in the Best Supporting Actress race while walking her dog with her husband, John Krasinski. However, the movie was markedly less successful than Oppeneheimer.
