Blunt made her film debut in the 2004 British drama “My Summer of Love.” Her next film was “The Devil Wears Prada,” and her performance as the first assistant to demanding magazine editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) earned her a 2007 Golden Globe Award nomination for best supporting actress.

Blunt received her only Oscar nomination for her portrayal of the wife of the title character in the biopic “Oppenheimer,” losing for best supporting actress to Da’Vine Joy Randolph.
