Taylor Lautner & Anna Kendrick in Moviefone’s Top 10 Breakout Stars of 2009

in Anna Kendrick, Taylor Lautner

Moviefone.com listed the 10 top Breakout Stars of 2009 and 2 of the New Moon stars are in it!

0011. Taylor Lautner
Royally buffing up as the shapeshifting werewolf Jacob Black in the sequel ‘The Twilight Saga: New Moon,’ Taylor Lautner redefines teenage hunk in his breakout role. Graduating from Bella’s long-haired admirer in the first film, Lautner is able to flex his muscles, quite literally, with a much larger, brooding part in the second vampire flick. There is a reason why Taylor beat out the rest of the notable names on this list for the top spot: sheer box office brawn. The Twihards have spoken: Team Jacob all the way — well, for now at least.
Next Up: Reprising his role as Jacob Black in ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.’

annakendrick7. Anna Kendrick
Anna Kendrick has a lot going for her. She co-stars in that hit film series ‘Twilight,’ and just snagged a National Board of Review prize for her naively overconfident, quick-witted turn as a newbie firing-agent in Jason Reitman’s ‘Up in the Air.’ At only 24, Kendrick has proved to be a mighty talent in both comedy and drama, garnering a heap of Oscar buzz going toe-to-toe with George Clooney in ‘Air.’
Next Up: Edgar Wright’s ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ and, of course, reprising her role as Jessica in ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.’

 BREAKOUT!!  Congratulations Taylor and Anna!   Don’t forget…Taylor is hosting Saturday Night Live tomorrow night!

    I'm only posting on here because my girl, Anna Kendrick is on THIS LIST!

    I think she should be higher than # 7, though...
    She deserves a better position with her performances.
  • Rob's beanie made my day
    Happy Saturday everyone.

    Wait.. lemme rephrase that....

    Happy Saturday Night Live day with Taylor Lautner as host, everyone!

    Does anyone know who the "other noteable names" that went up against Taylor for the part of Jacob... Not that I think that Jacob should have been played by ANYONE else, just out of curiousity.

    Taylor really got to show his acting skillz in NM. I think it's great that he's being recognised for his talent.

    And you have to be blind to not see how amazing Anna Kendrick is.

    anna is cool. but i don't like 'up in the air' director jason reitman. i know he's good &all but attacking twilight series.... come on man! he seems to become more arrogant these days. even he did critisize 'avatar' of james cameron. he said it's goofy or s/thing like that. the -ve side of being popular movie i guess. sometimes it's sucks so bad when people start to get jealous of twilight. i don't think that the casts of twilight become 'big-headed'. this craziness will fade away eventually. i mean this time is twilight's moment. one other day, maybe there will be another lucky movie that may get the same attention by world's fans.

  • Here is an unpublished (until today) interview with Taylor Lautner in 2005, Austin, TX.

    i really like Anna, she's a great actress. taylor.......he's okay, he pissed me offf with his acting in some NewMoon scenes sometimes. oh well, i couldnt imagine a better image of jacob.

    so yay!!!! hope Anna wins!!!
  • taylor_lautner_is_gorgeous
    im soo excited for him hosting!!
  • LadyLautner
    ily taylor and congrats to both of them, they totally deserve it...i mean taylor went from sharkboy to wolf-boy which is pretty amazing considering the fact that majority of the actors didn't even know what twilight was. and now anna's working w/ george clooney and all the big time ppl..i saw the preview for the movie she's in and i was like OMG IT'S ANNA, lol, CONGRATS
  • FTW - Mrs. Tyler Hawkins
    Great for both of them!
  • woot woot!!!! Go Tay Tay!!!! Go Anna!!!
  • dee <team britpack!>
    It's great for the both of them. It's also nice to see twilight "created" actors that now are able to make bigger roles. Our cast is really talented :-)
  • aw taylor you're the new "it" boy or should i say toy..
    u deserve it though!
  • VickyLRob-*<3 Jacob Jankowski*
    cudos to both of them! i loved Anna in New moon,she was hilarious!
  • blackbeauty
    Yay Taylor :) Not sure how credible moviefone.com is but I'll take it! Can't wait for tomorrrow....
  • I love the fact that Twilight gave us so many amazing young actors and I know they will go a long way because they get so many fans already. No way that the Twihearts won't support them on their way for example to get an Oscar ;-)
  • TeamPattzCHEST_HAIR
    I think Anna deserves a much higher spot! I would rather see her on #1
    She´s just AMAZING as an actress. Everyone says she OWNED Up in the air, and george clooney is in it. Ive heard she might even be nominated for an oscar, and shes only 24!
  • i really wanna see up in the air, but have you seen her in the movie CAMP? you MUST. read my comment up top about her. she's also an amazing singer and plays a shy girl but then turn vengeful and b*tchy in it. its a small supporting role but the movie is hilarious! about a group of young teens going to a theatre camp. :D that movie proves her talent as im sure up in the air will do more for her!
  • IndiesR
    Congrats to them! Nice to see the rest of the cast, other than the two main characters (actors), get the recognition and props they deserve.
  • kerbear585
    congrats to you two. you guys really deserve it!

    by the way..can't wait to see Up in the Air
  • cutesweetiezzz

  • cookies_unicornsforRob(nessa_)

  • RedPawn3592

  • Team>Show_me_the_damn_ring
  • SpankMe_MrsP >TEAM ISLE ESME<

  • Wolfi ♥(TEAM LEAH &TOMBAH)
    congrats to the both of them....such talented young plp!!

    cant wait to see Anna in a new role!!
  • I really want to see Up in the Air!
  • I'm curious to see her in a different role.
  • i like anna she was hilarious in nm!
  • i loved her in the indie movie CAMP back in 2004 and i knew then she was going places. i mean she's the third youngest actress nominated for a Tony award at age 12, which is the equivalent of an Oscar in Theatre. and also earned Theatre World Award, and Drama Desk Award nominations for the broadway musical High Society. she's been acting every since she was little, doing shows in the broadway and off broadway circuit! she is SUPERB in CAMP! a total knockout! she can sing too! what a voice, everyone must watch her performance in it. its a small supporting role but the movie is hilarious!
    i have a feeling we'll be seeing her, like kristen, for years to come. can't wait! GIRL POWER!
  • IrresistibleLostCause
