A jury panel, including Sienna Miller, an actress whose film credits include G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Alfie, has just compiled the long list for the BAFTA Orange Rising Star Award. Previous winners have included talents such as Kristen Stewart and Shia LaBeouf, so let's see who the Miller and her fellow industry experts have gone up with this time...

Actually, we say all that, but Tom Hardy won the prize last year, when he awesomely didn't bother picking his trophy up because he'd already booked his holiday and didn't want to piss off his girlfriend by rearranging it, so it doesn't always end badly. Even if it does, it's not entirely Sienna/BAFTA's fault, it's the Orange customers who vote for the winner. Probably the same customers who've cause a nuisance down the multiplex every Wednesday night.

Here's the full long list. Our money's on... Jennifer Lawrence probably.

  • Adam Deacon (Kidulthood, Adulthood and Anuvahood)
  • Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek, Thor, Snow White and the Huntsman)
  • Felicity Jones (Cemetery Junction, Chalet Girl, Like Crazy)
  • Tom Hiddleston (Thor, Midnight In Paris, War Horse, The Deep Blue Sea)
  • Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone, X-Men: First Class, The Beaver, The Hunger Games)
  • Chris O'Dowd (The IT Crowd, Bridesmaids, Gulliver's Travels)
  • Jessica Chastain (The Tree of Life, The Help, The Debt, Take Shelter)
  • Eddie Redmayne (Black Death, My Week with Marilyn, Les MisĂ©rables)
