Oscar Nominee: Naomi Watts

Age: 35

Starsign: Libra

Loved-up with: On-again-off-again-on-again relationship with actor Heath Ledger

Career high: Finally breaking into the Hollywood league with her role in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive — after years of sweating it out in small movies.

Career low: We doubt that Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering is at the top of Naomi's CV.

Nominated for playing? Cristina Peck in 21 Grams

Chances of winning? Very high. The Academy love "serious" and "worthy" roles, and Naomi playing a grieving mother in this heavy-going drama ticks all the right boxes.

Says: "There's a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I know what they're wearing. I'm not gonna act all ashamed of it"

Not to be confused with: Naomi Campbell, Curly Watts, Sharron Watts or '60watt bulb please'
