If there's one name you won't be able to avoid this it'll most certainly be Timothée Chalamet's. The former boyfriend of Madonna's daughter Lourdes is dominating Hollywood this year, having just stared in Oscar-tipped film Call Me by Your Name and scooping the Breakthrough Actor trophy at the Gotham Awards. 

Speaking of his co-star, Armie Hammer recently told Vulture: 'Timmy is, without a doubt, the most emotionally accessible human being I have ever come across in my life.'m With previous roles in Homeland, Interstellar, Greta Gerwig's Lady Bird and a job opposite Selena Gomez is Woody Allen's upcoming film, 2018 might as well be called the year of Chalamet.

Expressing his disbelief at the nod, Kaluuya describes the accolade as having occurred 'against innumerable odds', joining another two nominations for a SAG and Critics' Choice award. Having just nabbed an acting award at the 2018 Palm Springs International Film Festival and roles Marvel's upcoming film Black Panther alongside Forest Whitaker and Martin Freeman, something tells us the odds are in Kaluuya's favour this year.

You might know her as the Pink Power Ranger or the wife of British footballer Jordan Spence, but this year, Scott is taking on one of the most famous Disney characters to date - Disney Princess Jasmine in Aladdin.

With roles in films such as Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, 24 year-old Hermione Corfield is Hollywood's new darling.
