Emma Watson is serious for Oscars 2016. She even departed from her glamorous roles and got “dowdy” to get herself a step towards Oscars and away from her ex boyfriend Matt Janney drama.

According to Glamour, the actress said, "It's the hardest part I've ever had to play. But also the most satisfying. It felt like the right thing to do."

Whether she is talking about the breakup with her boyfriend or her performance in “Colonia Dignidad”, it looks like Emma Watson went through a lot in the past few years.

According to a source, "Emma is determined to distance herself from Harry Potter and this is her big push to be taken seriously. She gives an amazing performance and is being tipped as an Oscar contender. She is dowdy in this movie - she's undergone a make-under."

Emma Watson opened up about her breakup with ex boyfriend Matthew Janney and that didn’t sound easy either.

In fact, according to E! Online, “Beauty and the Beast” star called her breakup "horrendous."

She said, "I felt really uncomfortable. Even before my relationship ended, I went on a silent retreat because I really wanted to figure out how to be at home with myself."

So Emma Watson “reportedly spent a week at a private facility in Canada's Rocky Mountains and took a week-long vow of silence.”

But with “Colonia Dignidad” out in cinemas soon, poised for Oscars 2015, Emma Watson may find a good distraction away from her love life.

Do you think Emma will be on the list at next year’s Oscars?
