This is only the second year MTV has given out the Trailblazer award, with another Emma – Emma Stone – picking up the inaugural award. According to MTV, the Trailblazer award honors the “best in class young actors who are actively carving out their own unique and diverse path in the film industry.”
In addition to the Trailblazer award, Watson is up for awards in the “Best Female Performance,” “Best Kiss” and “Best Musical Moment” categories for her work in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Announcing Watson’s honor, MTV President Stephen Friedman said, “Emma Watson endeared herself to fans as one of the most beloved and iconic characters of her generation and did so again this past year as she seamlessly transformed into the role of ‘Sam’ from yet another modern day classic in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. She’s been a constant presence in the lives of our audience for more than a decade and is continuing to challenge her craft with upcoming roles as radically diverse as her enormous talent.”
Next up, Watson will be seen in The Bling Ring from writer/director Sofia Coppola. She also recently completed work on Darren Aronofsky’s Noah which reunited her with her Perks co-star Logan Lerman.
