Top 20 Actresses Under 30

So a couple of weeks ago Love Film came out with its list of the top 20 actresses under the age of 30 and got me thinking. Now, generally speaking, lists like this are kind of ridiculous anyway, but when you put Megan Fox at #13, you abandon all claims to credibility. Certain that things weren't quite so dire for the upcoming generation of actresses as Love Film's list would suggest, I decided to make a list of my own, which should of course be taken with as big a grain of salt as any other list:
