Emily Blunt, A Quiet Place
We had to actually double-check the math on this one, because how is it possible that perpetual critical darling Blunt didn’t get a nod for A Quiet Place—a huge hit that racked up other nominations and wins galore, including a Screen Actors Guild Award for Supporting Actress?
