She has received various accolades, including two Golden Globe Awards, and has been nominated for six Academy Awards, seven British Academy Film Awards, and two Primetime Emmy Awards.Adams began her career as a dancer in dinner theater, which she pursued from 1994 to 1998, and made her film debut with a supporting part in the dark comedy ''Drop Dead Gorgeous'' (1999). She made guest appearances in television and took on "mean girl" parts in low-budget feature films. Her first major role was in Steven Spielberg's biopic ''Catch Me If You Can'' (2002), but she was unemployed for a year afterward. Her breakthrough came when she portrayed a loquacious pregnant woman in the independent comedy-drama ''Junebug'' (2005), for which she received her first Academy Award nomination.
The musical fantasy film ''Enchanted'' (2007), where Adams played a cheerful princess-to-be, was her first success as a leading lady. She followed it by playing other naïve, optimistic women in films like the drama ''Doubt'' (2008), and subsequently played more assertive parts to positive reviews in the sports film ''The Fighter'' (2010) and the psychological drama ''The Master'' (2012). From 2013 to 2017, she portrayed Lois Lane in superhero films set in the DC Extended Universe. She won two consecutive Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress for playing a seductive con artist in the crime film ''American Hustle'' (2013) and painter Margaret Keane in the biopic ''Big Eyes'' (2014). Further acclaim came for playing a linguist in the science fiction film ''Arrival'' (2016), a self-harming reporter in the HBO miniseries ''Sharp Objects'' (2018), and Lynne Cheney in the satire ''Vice'' (2018).
Adams' stage roles include the Public Theater's revival of ''Into the Woods'' in 2012 and the West End theatre revival of ''The Glass Menagerie'' in 2022. In 2014, she was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by ''Time'', and featured in the ''Forbes'' Celebrity 100 list. Provided by Wikipedia
