She has described her childhood-self as 'a nice middle-class English girl ... I'd love to say I was a rebellious teenager, but I wasn't.' She is a childhood friend of actress and writer Clara Salaman, and starred in the screen adaptation of Salaman's novel Too Close.{{cite web|title=Too Close' bonds close friends Emily Watson, Clara Salaman|url=https://apnews.com/article/emily-watson-europe-entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-4906e5ba29cf752465f1d236d541b123|author=Mark Kennedy|date=May 20, 2021|publisher=Associated Press|accessdate=2021-05-28|archive-date=20 May 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210520210309/https://apnews.com/article/emily-watson-europe-entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-4906e5ba29cf752465f1d236d541b123|url-status=live}}

Watson was educated at St James Independent Schools in west London which were founded by the School of Economic Science. Whilst there, she witnessed "incidents of extreme cruelty" that were "very scarring for people going forward in their lives".{{Cite news|last=Potton|first=Ed|title=Emily Watson: 'I saw incidents of cruelty that have been very scarring'|newspaper=The Times|language=en|url=https://www.thetimes.com/culture/tv-radio/article/emily-watson-i-saw-incidents-of-cruelty-that-have-been-very-scarring-6nckv722m|access-date=2020-09-05|issn=0140-0460|archive-date=5 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200905053804/https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/emily-watson-i-saw-incidents-of-cruelty-that-have-been-very-scarring-6nckv722m|url-status=live}} She attended the University of Bristol, where she obtained a BA (1988, English). Watson subsequently trained at Drama Studio London. In 2003 she received an honorary MA from Bristol University.{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/my-perfect-weekend/9089070/My-perfect-weekend-Emily-Watson.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/my-perfect-weekend/9089070/My-perfect-weekend-Emily-Watson.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live | location=London | work=The Daily Telegraph | first=Anna | last=Tyzack | title=My perfect weekend: Emily Watson | date=18 February 2012}}{{cbignore}} Watson was a member of the School of Economic Science until 1996, when aged 29 she was expelled following her part in Breaking the Waves. She describes the organisation as a "very repressive regime" and a "system where you were supposed to think a certain way and you weren't really allowed to think any other way". Breaking out of it, she says, was a "very powerful release" in her life.{{Cite web|title=Emily Watson on her new TV drama, Chernobyl|url=https://www.scotsman.com/arts-and-culture/film-and-tv/emily-watson-her-new-tv-drama-chernobyl-1418375|access-date=2020-11-22|website=www.scotsman.com|date=4 May 2019|language=en|archive-date=11 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111215925/https://www.scotsman.com/arts-and-culture/film-and-tv/emily-watson-her-new-tv-drama-chernobyl-1418375|url-status=live}}

Watson's career began on the stage. Her theatre credits include The Children's Hour (at the Royal National Theatre), Three Sisters, Much Ado About Nothing and The Lady from the Sea. Watson has also worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company in A Jovial Crew, The Taming of the Shrew, All's Well That Ends Well and The Changeling.

Watson was virtually unknown until director Lars von Trier chose her to star in Breaking the Waves (1996) after Helena Bonham Carter dropped out. Watson's performance as Bess McNeill won her the Los Angeles, London and New York Critics' Circle Awards for Best Actress, as well as the US National Society of Film Critics' Award for Best Actress and nominations at the Academy Awards, the British Academy Film Awards, and the Golden Globe Awards.

Watson came to public notice again in another controversial{{clarify|date=December 2018}} role, that of cellist Jacqueline du Pré in Hilary and Jackie, for which she learned to play the cello in three months, and received another Oscar nomination. She also played a leading role in Cradle Will Rock, a story of a theatre show in the 1930s, directed by Tim Robbins. Though she won the title role of Frank McCourt's mother in the adaptation of his acclaimed memoir, Angela's Ashes, the film underperformed. In 2001, she appeared with John Turturro in The Luzhin Defence and in Robert Altman's ensemble piece Gosford Park.

Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet wrote the character Amélie for Watson to play (Amélie was originally named Emily) but she eventually turned the role down due to difficulties speaking French and a desire not to be away from home. The role made a star of Audrey Tautou. She was also the first choice to play Elizabeth I in Shekhar Kapur's film Elizabeth, the role that won Cate Blanchett an Academy Award nomination.

The following year, she starred as Reba McClane in the adaptation of Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs prequel, Red Dragon, as the romantic interest of Adam Sandler in Paul Thomas Anderson's Punch-Drunk Love and in the sci-fi action thriller Equilibrium with Christian Bale. In 2002, she took time off from cinema to play two roles in Sam Mendes' repertory productions of Uncle Vanya and Twelfth Night, first at Mendes' Donmar Warehouse in London and later at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Her performance was widely acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic and she was nominated for an Olivier Award for Uncle Vanya.

In 2004, Watson received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance as Peter Sellers's first wife, Anne Howe, in the HBO film The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. 2005 saw Watson star in four films: Wah-Wah, Richard E. Grant's autobiographical directorial debut; Separate Lies, directed by Gosford Park writer Julian Fellowes; Tim Burton's animated film Corpse Bride, with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter; and John Hillcoat's Australian Western, The Proposition.

In 2006, Watson took a supporting role in Miss Potter, a biographical drama about children's author Beatrix Potter, from Babe director Chris Noonan, with Ewan McGregor and Renée Zellweger; and also in an adaptation of Thea Beckman's children's novel Crusade in Jeans. In 2007, she appeared in The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep, an adaptation of the Dick King-Smith children's novel about the origin of the Loch Ness Monster. In 2007, Mood Indigo, a script written by Watson and her husband, was optioned by Capitol Films. The film is a love story set during the Second World War and concerns a young woman who falls in love with a pilot.

In 2008, Watson starred with Julia Roberts and Carrie-Anne Moss in Fireflies in the Garden, the Lifetime Television movie The Memory Keeper's Daughter (based on the novel with the same name), and in screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York. In 2009 she appeared in the film Cold Souls, from first-time director Sophie Barthes, and Within the Whirlwind, a biographical film of Russian poet and Gulag survivor Evgenia Ginzburg from The Luzhin Defence director Marleen Gorris. Watson considers Ginzburg her best recent role; however, the film was not picked up for distribution.

In 2010, she starred in Oranges and Sunshine, a film recounting the true story of children sent into abusive care homes in Australia, directed by Jim Loach, and also the following year (2011) in War Horse, an adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's prizewinning novel, directed by Steven Spielberg. In 2011, she played Janet Leach in the ITV two-part film Appropriate Adult, about serial killer Fred West, for which she won a BAFTA.

In 2014, Watson had supporting roles in The Book Thief, alongside Geoffrey Rush and Sophie Nélisse, and the Oscar-nominated film The Theory of Everything, portraying Jane Wilde, Hawking's mother in law, alongside Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones. In 2015, she had supporting roles in Testament of Youth, alongside Alicia Vikander and Kit Harington, Eduardo Verástegui's Little Boy and A Royal Night Out, in which she portrayed Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. She also received rave reviews{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/jul/06/a-song-for-jenny-review-an-utterly-believable-exploration-of-grief-after-77|title=A Song for Jenny review – Utterly believable exploration of grief after 7/7|author=Sam Wollaston|newspaper=the Guardian|date=6 July 2015|access-date=11 December 2016|archive-date=20 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180620231936/https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/jul/06/a-song-for-jenny-review-an-utterly-believable-exploration-of-grief-after-77|url-status=live}} for her portrayal of Julie Nicholson in the BBC Drama A Song for Jenny, with experts tipping her to win the British Academy Television Award for Best Actress.

In 2019 she appeared as a nuclear scientist — a composite of several real scientists — in the miniseries Chernobyl.

Watson was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2015 New Year Honours for services to drama.{{London Gazette|issue=61092 |supp=y|page=N15|date=31 December 2014}}[https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/391413/New_Year_Honours_List_2015.pdf 2015 New Year Honours List] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150102104907/https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/391413/New_Year_Honours_List_2015.pdf |date=2 January 2015 }}{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30633687|title=NY Honours for poppy duo, Joan Collins, and John Hurt|newspaper=BBC News|date=31 December 2014|access-date=21 June 2018|archive-date=23 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181023142638/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30633687|url-status=live}} In 2017, she starred in the BBC mini-series Apple Tree Yard.{{cite news|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/tvfilm/apple-tree-yard-bbc1-cast-locations-and-three-other-things-to-know-about-the-emily-watson-thriller-a3445981.html|title=Five things to know about Apple Tree Yard|date=22 January 2017|newspaper=Evening Standard|access-date=2 April 2018|archive-date=20 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180620234920/https://www.standard.co.uk/stayingin/tvfilm/apple-tree-yard-bbc1-cast-locations-and-three-other-things-to-know-about-the-emily-watson-thriller-a3445981.html|url-status=live}}

Watson is a supporter of the children's charity the NSPCC. In 2004, she was inducted into the society's hall of fame for spearheading the successful campaign to appoint a Children's Commissioner for England. Receiving her award in the crowded House of Commons, she spoke out against the possibility that the Children's Commissioner become a figurehead with little real power. She is also one of the patrons of the London children's charity Scene & Heard. In April 2018, Watson presented Maternity Worldwide as her chosen charity on the BBC Radio 4 Appeal.{{cite episode| title= Maternity Worldwide |url= https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b0m21x| series= BBC Radio Four Appeal | network= BBC| station= Radio 4| airdate= 29 April 2018 }}
