Oscar Nominee: Jude Law

Age: 31

Starsign: Capricorn

Loved-up with: Alfie co-star Sienna Miller, although rumours say their romance is on the rocks.

Career high: Probably right now — Jude is red-hot in Hollywood and has a slew of films in production or coming out.

Career low: The execrable Love, Honour and Obey with all the Primrose Hill Posse was terrible and a deserved flop in 2000.

Nominated for playing? W.P. Inman in Cold Mountain

Chances of winning? Average. Cold Mountain is proving to be an awards-ceremony turkey, and there are far more high-profile likely winners this year.

Says: "I have no problem with nudity. My friend Ewan and I are starkers in most of our films."

Not to be confused with: Judge Judy, Judd Nelson, Judy Finnigan
