After the jump, more of the Jay Leno interview with Ellen Page, where she discusses her new film, “Smart People.”

According to Variety, Ellen Page was to begin shooting the thriller on March 17, but Screen Actors Guild contract negotiations postponed the date. With SAG discussions to begin in April and a possible strike, some film projects have been put on hold.

Sam Raimi is the director behind the cult classic “The Evil Dead” series as well as blockbusters “Spider-Man,” “Spider-Man 2″ and “Spider-Man 3.”

Entertainment Weekly recently listed their 10 breakout stars of 2007 (TV, movies, music). I did some digging to find out what these “breakout stars” have coming up in terms of acting.

1. Ellen Page. After her incredible performance in Juno (or so I read; haven’t seen it yet), her name is on everyone’s lips. She’ll be in three films in 2008: Smart People, Light-house, Jack and Diane (a lesbian-themed flick).

2. Amy Ryan. Amy Who? She’s been in the biz for almost twenty years and yet it took being in Gone Baby Gone for her to be really noticed. In 2008, she’ll be in The Missing Person, Bob Funk, and The Changeling (with Angelina Jolie and John Malkovich, directed by Clint Eastwood).
3. Zachary Levi. No shame if you don’t recognize his name, but if you get a chance to see the very entertaining and sometimes wistful TV series Chuck, do so. But I guess his star isn’t quite shining yet as the only pic he’s listed in for 2008 is the road trip movie Weiners. Doesn’t exactly sound promising.
4. Sharon Leal. Sharon Leal’s been in various TV shows since the late 90s, most recently in Boston Public and LAX. But she’s in This Christmas with Delroy Lindo and earlier in 2007 in a Tyler Perry flick. In 2008, she’ll be in Linewatch.
5. William Baldwin. Just how many Baldwin brothers are in movies? I’ve heard different numbers, but I can only think of four: Alec, Daniel, William, and Stephen, from oldest to youngest. Sisters Jane Sasso and Elizabeth Keuchler are not in the biz but at least one cousin, Joseph Baldwin, is. William has kind of been in the shadow of Alec and Daniel, but has appeared in a few hit movies (Flatliners, Backdraft) and more recently in the TV series Dirty Sexy Money. In 2008, he’ll appear in Last Hour, Sakura: Blue-Eyed Samurai, and High Midnight.
6. Lauren Conrad. Had you even heard of her before The Hills “documentary” TV series? Me neither. And it’ll be a while before she gains any wide public notoriety, with no upcoming projects.
7. Sean Kingston. He’s a musical performer with no upcoming movie projects, and only mentioned because he’s on EW’s list.
8. Fergie. Hunky beau Josh Duhamel recently proposed to Fergie. Yeah, a weird looking couple. Did you even know the ex-Black Eyed Peas singer/torso gyrater Fergie had an acting career? She appeared in the “Planet Terror” segment of 2007’s Grindhouse, but has no other upcoming movie projects listed. She has appeared in various TV shows dating back to 1984, and even did the voice for It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown (1984, TV).
9. Emile Hirsch. Despite about a decade on TV shows, Emile Hirsch’s name is only starting to “appear” now, after his performance as Christopher McCandless in Sean Penn’s 2007 true-life story Into the Wild. Unfortunately, Hirsch is squandering his growing star power in 2008’s awful-looking Speed Racer. However, being in 2009’s Milk – about San Fransisco’s openly gay official Harvey Milk – might change that.
10. Sherri Shepherd. I’m loathe to mention The View co-host Sherri Shepherd anywhere, after she displayed her immense stupidity on The View by saying there WERE “Christians” before Christ was born. However, she is in the upcoming Push (2008), which also stars Lenny Kravitz.

Of these ten people that EW listed as being stars in 2007, I only see Ellen Page, Amy Ryan, Zachary Levi, William Baldwin, and Emile Hirsch as having any real acting careers. Levi might be limited in characters, from my estimation, but I could be wrong. However, if I were to pick one, I’d say Ellen Page has the greatest potential, a bright career ahead, and probably the most time to prove herself. The video clip below is from Juno, a movie that deserves to win her at least a few nominations if not awards. (Surprisingly, EW left off her very talented costar Michael Cera, who also appeared in Superbad in 2007.)
