Other shows with nominations are Glee – nominated in a few categories including best comedy – the medieval drama Game Of Thrones, serial killer drama Dexter and the US remake of The Office.

Emma Stone's 'girl crush' on Christina Hendricks

Posted on by

Emma Stone has a girl crush on Christina Hendricks.

The ‘Friends With Benefits’ actress – who is believed to be dating her ‘Spider-Man’ co-star Andrew Garfield – explained she finds “everything” about the ‘Mad Men’ star attractive.

Asked who is her celebrity crush, she said: “Christina Hendricks. It’s a no-brainer. Everything about her does it for me. That’s my kind of woman.”

Meanwhile, Emma admitted she is “flattered” to have been cast in so many strong roles as women who are secure within themselves.

She added to The Advocate: “I’m so flattered. The tomboy quality is probably coincidental just due to the fact that my voice hits male octaves most of the time. I must be subconsciously drawn to women who, even if they don’t necessarily have their stuff together, are secure within themselves and don’t need a man to fix them.

“My ultimate goal is to continue doing movies with some sort of message that can make a change, like ‘Easy A’ or ‘The Help.’ Because that’s what good movies do for me, they teach me and bring injustices to my attention.”
