The British Academy of Film and Television Arts announced their first round of nominees for the Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award which recognizes the best up-and-coming actors and actresses in film. Chris Hemsworth has made the nominating list this year being 1 out of 8 actors.
If Hemworth wins, the 'Snow White and the Huntsman' cast will boast two winners. Kristen Stewart was the 2010 winner. Although, Stewart gave 'Twilight' fans all the credit for her win, her impressive resume is what obtained the nomination for her and her win.
Stewart's recent release of 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1' is huge at the box office and has broke records in the UK along with its strongest showing in foreign markets out of all the 'Twilight films. Stewart has two highly anticipated movies being released in the next few months: Kerouac's 'On the Road' and SWATH. See her BAFTA acceptance speech below.
Hemsworth is on a similar path. Not only has he starred in the unexpected box office hit 'Thor', he will have two movies released in the next few months as well. The remake of 'Red Dawn' and the highly anticipated 'The Avengers'. Hemsworth has also teamed up with one of Hollywood's great directors, Ron Howard for his movie 'Rush'.
Other 2012 nominees are: Adam Deacon, Felicity Jones, Tom Hiddleston, Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Dowd, Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne. A sample of their work can be seen here.
