  Juno. Wow! What a movie! Ellen Page, wow! What an actress! Saw Juno for the second time here in Portland, Oregon. Had to wait in line which wrapped around the block. The audience reaction was non-stop laughter and people applauded at the end of the movie. Ellen Page: Your a star!!!!!!

• Alicia // Dec 28, 2007 at 8:06 pm

  This is crazy! I never thought she’d be this super famous. I remember her mom teaching me French in elementary! She used to talk about her all the time.

• CJ // Dec 28, 2007 at 11:20 pm

  Ellen played a really good role in Juno. I couldn’t of had the pleasure I wanted while watching it because of these Snotty kids in the front row. I got a refund for it but am going to see it again. This girl is beyond pretty. This is the best movie I’ve seen since Little Miss Sunshine.

• Gaby // Dec 29, 2007 at 4:10 pm

  I saw it today for the third time, and I just don’t get bored of it. The group of people I was with decided that they all wanted to be just like Juno, so watching a bunch of girls sitting and trying to come up with witty comebacks to what everyone else was saying was pretty damn entertaining. Miami, Florida loves you!

  do you have a boyfriend Ellen?

• Daniel Freeman // Dec 30, 2007 at 12:33 am

  Dear Ellen,
  A new and excited fan has been revealed after watching your recent movie “Juno”.Other than the small role in X-men, i’ve unfortunately never heard of your work throughout your career.The way you portrayed that young girl during that whole time flame really peaked my interest as to who you are and what other role you’ve played during your early years as an actress.I thrilled to watch your past and future involvement in the many roles you’ve….acted…felt…became…in future events…Thank you and i wish nothing but the best for you in the future

  Sincerely,
  Daniel freeman

  I could not belive it. I saw this movie twice in a row and I am amazed still. I want more!! I love reading good things about actresses and I absolutely love reading about Ellen Page. Honnestly I never heard of her before Juno and I’m a huge fan of Hairspray but I hope Ellen wins!! I fell in love with this movie and it would be absolutely nothing with a bad juno. Two thumbs up on this movie only because I dont have anymore thumbs. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE!

• David Alberici // Dec 31, 2007 at 1:50 pm

  Well this is first comment I’ve ever left on a website, but here it goes. My wife and I sat down to watch “Hard Candy” last night Whew what a performance. We didn’t know what we were in for, but I can honestly tell you this young woman is something special. I’ll have to get out to the theatre to see Juno as after last night’s movie, I can’t quite see her in a comedy. The only laughs last night were nervous kind. At any rate I do look forward to the next movie she’s in as I don’t believe any one has impressed me more in a long time if at all.

• andy // Dec 31, 2007 at 11:20 pm

  wow shes is soo cute i want to go out with her and in juno omg whats her phone #

• Doug Vannatta // Jan 3, 2008 at 10:38 pm

  Dear Ellen,

  I am going to see Juno tomorrow. I just saw you on Letterman, and since stalking isn’t cool… I thought I would just drop you a note to say you’re freakin’ cool and I’m looking forward to seeing your movie.

  Love,

  Doug

• robert w. les strange // Jan 4, 2008 at 1:39 am

  Your interview on “Letterman” was great!!! I am going to see your movie as soon as I can!!!!! You’re a great young lady! Judging from your interview, I see a bright future for you! I’m proud your a fellow Canadian! Good luck, Ellen!

• steve // Jan 8, 2008 at 9:37 pm

• Blah // Jan 17, 2008 at 6:42 pm

  is she a secret gay?

• Chelsea // Jan 19, 2008 at 6:39 pm

  I just have to say that I love the movies I’ve seen with Ellen. The latest one, Juno, was amazingly hillarious and touching at the same time. And as far as Ellen is concerned from what I can see in her interviews she seems like a very smart, fun and whitty girl, not to mention she is gorgeous. So Ellen if you ever decide to switch teams let me know!

• angie // Jan 20, 2008 at 9:38 pm

  I first saw Hard Candy, and was thrilled to see this young woman in another film. WOW! Ellen Page is amazing and I am now searching for more films that she has been in. She is my new favorite actress!!! love you Ellen:)

• angie // Jan 22, 2008 at 7:50 am

  Saw Juno last weekend. Thought it was great. I said to my girlfriend it made me proud being from Halifax and having met you. I’m a friend of Emmerson Denney. We met at the Alantic film festival. I was the guy that picked up you and your friends and took you to the Wag. Anyway I just wanting to say congratulations and I hope there is an Oscar with your name on it.

  dear ellen,

  You are an exceptional actress. I wish you the best in your career. Stay away from big Hollywood prod, they’ll use you to the bone. You really have something very special, keep your art close to your heart and soul, don’t sell it for a “few” bucks. You truly are a rare talent.
  much love and respect from San francisco

• PZ // Feb 13, 2008 at 8:57 pm

  I didn’t like the movie the first time I saw it, but I wanted to give it another chance. Second time I saw it I thought… pure brilliance. The movie is great, sends a great message, is hilarious and couldn’t have had a better cast. It’s easy to say I fell in love with Juno lol.. I mean that type of girl is hard to come by and idk how many guys are looking for that, but I’d definitely be one of them.

  Great job Ellen, would love to meet you someday. Good luck in your career and in life!

• Julian Brindlley // Feb 15, 2008 at 10:34 pm

  Hi Ellen!!! I just wanted to say that Juno is one the best movies I have seen. Your acting and rest of the cast seemed so natural and made to movie very real, my friend said your character was female version of me HAHA. I also wanted to say your role in X men was great as well, nothin like running threw walls eh? Well best of luck in the rest of you career I hope my attempt at being successful in the performing arts is a successful as yours, I am currently at college for music.

  Cheerio,

  Ellen, you are such an amazing talent. Having seen you in X-MEN 3, I was thrilled to have the chance to see the debut of The Tracy Frangments in Halifax during the 2007 AFF. I was even more thrilled you attended the film, and I got a chance to see you, at least at a distance. You were AWESOME in that film, and then in Juno, you showed the world what a talent you have.
  SNL was great, you played a funny Peter Pan (poor tinker bell though). The scary dreaming skit was wicked, made me jump!
  Hope to see you again in Halifax, you go girl! HUGS

• HJ CAO // Mar 4, 2008 at 1:16 am

  Hello Ellen

  JUNO,HARD CANDY,The Tracey Fragments have been watched,wonderfull!

• Nick // Mar 4, 2008 at 6:54 pm

  I will be honest and say I never saw Ellen in a movie until AFTER I watched her in several interviews. Her genuine personality and intelligence is what drew me in. After seeing her in Juno it went on my list of “favorites”.

  Well done Ellen!

  Wow, Ellen is a breath of fresh air for Hollywood. Finally, someone who takes their job seriously instead of just trying to get buy on good looks and a whim(shout out to Lohan). I just saw her in Smart People and saw Juno a while back. Incredible performances. I am happy to know that she is going to be making a lot more movies. Way to Go.

  Hello,
  I just wanted to tell you that I think you’re a terrific actress and the compilation of your work as shown how talented you are. You are very young to have accomplished so much; you have the ability to really make your character believable in a way very few have done as consistently and in as many diverse rolls as you. Thank you for gracing all of us with you talent and beauty. I hope you go one to make many more movies and lead by example of how a star should act and perform.
  Thank you again.

• Aedan McCarty // Apr 26, 2008 at 8:52 pm

  such an attractive woman, not just phisically though, she’s just so amazing, it’s undescribable. I think if I write more I’ll just repeat myself. I’m such a huge fan.

• jasmine // Apr 27, 2008 at 1:18 pm

• Brandon // May 5, 2008 at 5:26 pm

  Ok, first off, I am clearly a big fan of Ellen Page. I thought Juno as a character was cool, but then I saw a couple of Ellen’s interviews, and suprisingly, she seems even cooler. This being said, and I really hate to sound pessimistic, but do all you people who have posted on this website actually think Ellen Page is going to read your post, let alone respond back?

  I may be totally wrong, but it just does not seem likely that she knows about this webpage, but yet everyone is writing to her as if she is going to read it. I really hope she does respond to some of your posts, I wish that for you, and if it happens, post a little message to show me and prove me wrong.

  I’m not saying that she feels she is too superiour to answer some of your posts, I just can’t see it happening. It just doesn’t seem plausible.

  Once again, sorry for being a downer, but its just something that caught my attention and peeked my curiousity.

  Wish you all the best,

  Sincerely, Brandon

• Eric // May 9, 2008 at 8:49 am

  Ellen Page you are the most awesome person ever man that’s the only way i know how to put it!

• Pasquale // May 12, 2008 at 8:50 pm

  Just watched An American Crime The other night and since then havnt been able to stop thinking bout it. its a hard movie to watch, not because its gruesome as some people say but because how natural and real the acting and the film are, especially Ellen and her co-star Catherine were amazing. i don’t think i will ever forget this movie and just wanted to let fans of Ellen know that if you ever get a chance to watch it because it makes you realise how brilliant Ellen really is.

• Claudia Barchilon // May 17, 2008 at 10:00 am

  Juno is by far my favorite movie. It’s the best movie I’v seen since little miss sunshine. U r awesome. Rock on

• Shane Dawson // May 18, 2008 at 7:44 pm

  Hey Ellen

  For the first time ever, my need to go to the Theatre is now completly restored. I saw ‘Hard Candy’ and was, well shocked, amazed, just stuck to my chair. And long after the credits had roled. The guy started vacuming the spilt popcorn from around my feet, gave me a poke and said ‘Dude, where closing in five’.
  Juno i caught on a flight from London to Vancouver last week and you proved you had it, (not that you need my approval, obviously). Congrats on the Oscar nomination, very well deserved. Your role in ‘Smart People’ was another great character. I cant waith to see you in ‘The Tracey Fragments’ anything with a different filming style, im going to pay attention to. So good luck with your furture endevors and please keep your attitude to the whole buissness the way it is. I cant stand fake people and unfortunatly as you know there’s way too many in movie/society. So be yourself and ‘Fuck-em’ if they want/ask you to change.

  Shane. x

  P.s. Im proberbly one of many 22yr old Guys that have said ‘Please come by for a coffee, if your in the area, cuz just a 10min conversation with you, would be epic’. So if your in Abbotsford BC please do. Thats if you read this of course.

• Marc Danahey // May 20, 2008 at 4:55 pm

  Ellen Page, this most awesome actress i’ve seen in a long time.. U were so awesome in Juno. If you are like that in any way in real life I would do anything to meet you. lol I will still do anything to meet you even if you aren’t like Juno. U r so Beautiful and cool.

  P.S. I’m Single and only 21 years Old…lol..

• Lauren // May 23, 2008 at 9:01 am

  My Favorite movie ever in Juno!!! I saw it once in the theater, five times on DVD (rented) and 3 times on demand! I am begging my mom to buy it for me. I no the lines to that movie better than I know my own play! now I’m doing my school reasearch paper on Ellen Page! My friends can’t get over my obsesion (not bi)!

• Daire Hogan // Jun 15, 2008 at 4:38 am

  Hey Ellen not even sure you read these things much less respond to them which I can understand cause reading some of them has kind of freaked me out so I’m guessing it’s worse when they’re directed at you, but anyway just saying (what a lot have said many times before me) way to go, you were halarise as Juno and you role in Hard Candy was amazing I haven’t seen Smart People yet and I only really heard about it online just now (travelling has kind of gotten in the way of going to the cinema) but I look foreward to watching it and any of you future work. Hopefully if my next job works out I’ll be getting into the same business.
  Be sweet to hear a reply but I’m not holding my breath or anything for it.

• ManFromDownUnder // Sep 2, 2008 at 10:56 pm

  Miss Page,

  I must say.. I am quite the critic when it comes to movies I believe are ‘chick-flick’ genre’s… quite often they bore me. Juno introduced yourself to me, and for some reason - I can’t get sick of watching it, even after I have now for the fourth time. The sheer hilarity, and surprisingly un-cheesy plot & dialogue of that movie, intrigued me.

  Juno aside - I think you are a fantastic actress yourself. One thing I hate in the world of fame, are people that leach it all for what it’s worth, and of course - another dollar. You don’t strike me as the kind of person that cares for that as much, maybe. You seem down to earth.

  Credits to you in all your roles.

  If you’re ever in Australia, make it known.. We don’t get to see alot of the stuff on our shores, as what comes out of America. Meeting talented people such as yourself, can be quite a treat. Although, I doubt this will ever get read!

  Anyways, all the best!
  Rick.
