I just saw the film and came on here to start the same topic, haha yeah, you're totally right. And I've never even heard of her, never having seen Mad Men my peers, with whom I saw the screening, said she's equally as bad in Mad Men. I heard she's a total 'bitty' too.
But hey, she looks good in the film at least. -

I have never seen Mad Men, but I came here to say that her acting was atrocious in X-Men: First Class. I still give the movie high marks, she did not ruin it, but damn, her character needed someone with more gravitas. She was just wrong for the role. She wasn't the cool type of cold the Emma Frost character needed. She had no sex appeal. She was just wrong.

I think her Emmy nom came because January Jones was largely unheard of before Mad Men. People assumed her acting prowess allowed her to fit Betty Draper, when in actuality, she plays Betty Draper in every movie she acts in, including X-Men

Huh? She got nominated because Emmy members voted for her. That's how award nominations work.
Yeah, but people thought Michelle Rodriguez was great actress for her debut role in GirlFight, then realized she was an actress of limited range when she kept playing the same role again and again. The same thing is happening with Jones. -

You can easily get an acting nomination for playing yourself. So, as she plays a pretty but blank character on Mad Men, she's apparently playing herself. She was AWFUL in Unknown and X-Men: First Class. Casting directors need to stop thinking with their boners. Hopefully she'll go away soon.

She is a good actress and she is very easy on the eyes, HOWEVER when she boasted that she ate her own placenta after she gave birth to her child I was totally grossed out. First, I could not believe she (or anyone) would do that and secondly, that she (or anyone) would admit to it. She said that it was full of vitamins, yadda yadda. I would be like, "Can we take vitamins and skip the placenta?" Other than that I have no opinion on this subject.

same style in every movie/show : "the girl who is bored", and because i saw 5+ of her films, i can say that : this is not a role of composition (has such a level of perfection that even boring the spectators) and shes really bored in the real life.
So hard to say she can act or not finaly, maybe a new "a really boring grace kelly" is born.
