The Black List: Emily Mortimer

In Martin Scorsese’s upcoming thriller Shutter Island, Emily Mortimer runs away with the show as an on-the-lam patient who breaks down opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. Though she starred in David Mamet’s Redbelt last year, the English actress is just now earning her black belt in bitchery, by kicking around her 10 least-favorite things.

1. Integrity.
2. Men in shorts.
3. Most animals.
4. Sports.
5. The sound of my husband clipping his toenails.
6. English people with American accents.
7. Cell phone service in Manhattan.
8. How awful my boobs are when I’m pregnant.
9. The upper circle of the theater as I think about throwing myself off while watching nightmare performances.
10. Bugaboo strollers.
