Emma Watson Wows the Press at UK Premiere of My Week with Marilyn

Michelle Williams may be getting critical acclaim for her performance in My Week with Marilyn, but it was Emma Watson who was the "star" at the film's red carpet UK Premiere at the Cineworld complex in Haymarket in central London.

Watson plays wardrobe mistress Lucy in My Week with Marilyn, opposite the film's protagonist Colin Clark, played by rising star Eddie Redmayne.

Redmayne posed alongside Emma and Kenneth Branagh on the red carpet at the screening, but Michelle Williams and Dame Judi Dench were unable to attend.

Williams' portrayal of Marilyn is winning stellar reviews all over the globe, with rumours that another Best Actress Oscar nomination is expected in the New Year.

The film is based on Colin Clark’s memoir of a week as a third assistant director, or dogsbody, on an indifferent British film comedy, The Prince and the Showgirl.

Leading film reviewer Chris Tookey referred to the film as 'an enchanting tragi-comedy and a feast of fine acting. It’s a hugely enjoyable trifle.'

He says: 'Williams has given exquisite performances before in Brokeback Mountain, Blue Valentine and the little-seen Incendiary.
