Four newcomers-Ryan Gosling, Anna Paquin, Michael Cera and Seth Rogen - make the list of the Top 15 Canadians who make things happen in Hollywood, in the issue of Canadian Business hitting newsstands today.

TORONTO, Sept. 20 /CNW/ - Jim Carrey’s The Number 23 may have stunk up theatres, but it wasn’t enough to knock him off the top of Canadian Business’s third annual ranking of Canadian actors with Hollywood clout. He’s joined by four newcomers: Ryan Gosling; Winnipeg-born Anna Paquin, who will co-star with Matt Damon in the film Margaret; Michael Cera, the Brampton, Ont.-raised star of Superbad; and Cera’s co-star, Vancouver’s Seth Rogen, who also co-executive produced and co-wrote the tale of high-school friends trying to score booze for a party.

This year, the list said goodbye to Hayden Christensen, Eric McCormack, Brendan Fraser and singer Avril Lavigne, whom Canadian Business disqualified given her lack of film roles.

”Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” star Anna Paquin may have been the second youngest person in history to take home an Oscar at age 11, but when it comes to reliving her 30-second speech of silence and air gulping, the sweet star would rather recoil.

“I refuse to watch it — I won’t ever bring myself to see that again,” Paquin admitted to FOX on the red carpet of Friday’s Emmy Nominees party. “I must have seemed so silly!”

And if you think no career honor could ever top an Oscar, think again.

“My Emmy nomination probably means even more to me,” Anna added. “I was just a baby in the ‘The Piano’ — I turned up to work and did what I was told. But now that I’m an adult I can appreciate things much more. I feel like I actually earned it this time.”

I just stumbled across this, but Anna is participating in Comfort Means Cause. Celebrities sign Pink Goody Ouchless brushes which are then auctioned on eBay and all proceeds go to Living Beyond Brest Cancer. Anna’s auction can be found here, and it ends on September 22nd.

I will be adding them as I get them, but you can find images of Anna arriving at the Emmy Awards here. As well as images from the Governor’s Ball and HBO After Party.

Now that the show has aired on both coasts, I will no longer hide the results… Anna unfortunately did not win Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Movie or Mini-Series, it went to Judy Davis for “The Starter Wife”. “Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee” did however win Outstanding Made For TV Movie.

Anna attended the Emmy Performer Nominee Reception last night. There’s images from the event in the gallery. I will be adding more as I get them.

Just a reminder that the Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee DVD is in stores tomorrow and the Emmys are this Sunday at 8pm on FOX.

Also, I’ve added screencaps from Jane Eyre, Hurlyburly and Its The Rage to the gallery, as well as a photoshoot.

Will Anna Paquin unearth an Emmy for her turn in ‘Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee’?

Raise high the roof beams, Hollywood carpenters! Anna Paquin is moving to Los Angeles.

The actress, who at age 11 won a best supporting actress Oscar for her first film, “The Piano,” is nominated for an Emmy for best supporting actress in a miniseries for her turn in HBO’s “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.” Paquin, now 25, will also be starring in Alan Ball’s new show “True Blood,” which was recently picked up by HBO.

“My brother and his fiancé and I all pitched in and bought a place,” Paquin said on a phone call from her current residence in New York. “I’m getting sick of crashing on couches and hotel rooms, so it will be nice to have an actual place.”

Paquin’s talent is unusual. She’s not always likable (she played annoying like nobody’s business in Spike Lee’s “The 25th Hour”), nor always high minded (see “X-Men” I, II and III). But so what? She’s been memorable in nearly everything she’s done.
